 March 3rd, 2006Interview of James Abrams, President - CEO of One Hour Air Conditioning < International > Interviewer : Franchise Times Interviewees : James Abrams (President/CEO) One Hour Air Conditioning is a subsidiary of Clockwork Home Services, which is a division of VenVest Inc. Clockwork has both the One Hour brand franchise under its umbrella, as well as Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, another concept that made the Fast 55 this year. According to the company, contractors who wish to keep their own business identity can join Clockwork’s Affinity Group—which, according to President and CEO James Abrams, is a school that offers the same technical and business process training franchisees have access to. In addition to plumbing and HVAC, the school offers training for electricians and roofing contractors. VenVest was founded in 1998; Benjamin Franklin and One Hour began franchising in 2001 and 2003, respectively. New plans on the horizon?
We plan to launch Mr. Sparky, the electrician franchise later this year. We have about 50 potential franchisees in the pipeline for this concept. http://www.franchisetimes.com/2005Grew.html |
