Armed Forces RAAF
Radio Technical background My name is Pete Willows. I own a Hire A Hubby franchisee in beautiful Hobart, Tasmania. I first started a HAH franchise in Sydney in March of 2003 which I owned for two years and then commenced trading in Hobart in April of 2005. I come from a RAAF Radio Technical background (22yrs service) thereafter 10yrs as a Sales Engineer / Product Manager in Technical Test Equipment and Microwave Communications including Sales in OH&S equipment. I decided to take a complete lifestyle change based on becoming my own boss with new challenges. The transition to being a Hubby has been an ongoing experience especially wearing Magenta shirts instead of suits / uniforms, however, job satisfaction has always been high not to mention being a fitter more skilled Hubby. I learnt most of my basic handyman skills through being a homeowner who has always liked to do his own work. Solider
Aust Defence Force My name is Shaine and I have been operating a Hire A Hubby franchise for 3 years in a Metro Area. Previous to Hire A Hubby I was a soldier within the Australian Defence Force, and was looking for a business opportunity which offered variety and the chance to learn new skills. I found Hire A Hubby to fit all my requirements, the support you receive from the network and Head Office is outstanding. Having had no previous business experience, I found the training you receive is beneficial, and educates you on all aspects of how to successfully operate the franchise. You are constantly challenged and improving your skills, if you don’t know how to complete a job there are always people within your network to seek advice from. The freedom and flexibility offered by being part of the franchise to be extremely important to me & my family, as is working with people to help solve their maintenance problems. Flight
Engineer with the RAAF My name is Kane Hollingsworth. My working life prior to Hire A Hubby was very different. I joined the RAAF in 1978 and after training, started working as an Engine Fitter on F-111 aircraft. In June 1985 I graduated as a Flight Engineer with the RAAF. I followed this career path until January 2000 when I discharged and took up a contract to join the RAF as a Flight Engineer. This fantastic opportunity took our family to the United Kingdom for five great years. When the contract finished my wife and I started looking around for a new direction and after much research and deliberation decided Hire A Hubby was the right move for us. I have been Hire A Hubby Kirwan (in Townsville) since January 2005. Most of my handyman skills have been learnt by practicing on our house and those of friends. The transition was much quicker and easier than I had anticipated and the scope of work means that I usually learn something new everyday. Click here and check your skills
