As Australia’s leading leak repair service, Megasealed, has been proudly operating and servicing communities around the nation for over 26 years. What started from humble beginnings as one-man in a van leak-repair service in Sydney is now a thriving franchise operating over 125 territories nation-wide.
Megasealed opened its first franchise store in 2014 taking the first of its kind specialised balcony and bathroom stop leak repair service to a national level. Supported by a revolutionary service, it’s no surprise Megasealed franchisees continue to go from strength to strength with a demand for the service from the day a franchisee opens its doors.
Throughout their Megasealed journey, franchisees have cultivated resilient teams, contributed to their local communities, and undergone transformative personal growth—all with one thing in common, the decision to join a flourishing Australian franchise.
Graham Evans, Megasealed Sydney Eastern Suburbs & CBD, Sydney South East and Canberra
Graham Evans started his Megasealed journey as a Sales Consultant and through hard work and dedication, worked his way up the company playing a major role in facilitating the franchising of the national business.
It was through these experiences that Graham decided to take the plunge and invest in his first franchise territory in Sydney in 2016. Starting with just himself and two tilers, he has since grown the business to 35 full time staff. Last year he expanded into the Canberra territory which is now running with 11 local full-time staff.
Since making the decision to purchase and operate his own franchise Graham has never looked back, now running several franchise locations. Graham admits the decision has changed his life for the better in many ways.
“I am proud to have a diverse team, including several non-Australian born employees and refugees from war torn countries whom I have sponsored. Moving forward, I am keen on expanding my business into new regions of Australia and broadening my horizons.”
Phil Green, Megasealed Southern Peninsula and Greater West Melbourne
As a seasoned builder and Geelong local, Phil Green had hands-on expertise and extensive experience in the franchise industry. Having previously owned and operated another franchise business, he vowed his franchise ownership days were long behind him.
After being made redundant at the start of COVID, Phil was put in touch with the Megasealed team. Phil got involved in Megasealed initially as a Sales Consultant and it was a mere 12 months later he purchased his first franchise and his second just 3 months after that. Today, just 2 years on, he operates a total of 8 successful territories in the Southern Peninsula and Greater West Melbourne regions.
Phil admired the transparency and support throughout the franchising process, something he hadn’t come across in previous franchise experiences. Now operating 2 thriving franchise locations, Phil couldn’t be prouder of the team he has built in a few short but busy years.
“I was blown away by the business success and motivated by the prospect of owning a Megasealed franchise. The unique franchising recruitment strategy meant I was able to learn every aspect of the business before I went all in. There were no surprises.”
Tina Cicolini, Megasealed Newcastle, Hunter Valley and Port Stephens.
Tina Cicolini is the proud franchisee of Megasealed Newcastle, Hunter Valley and Port Stephens and was initially drawn to the franchise after witnessing the clear evidence of success among the current franchisees. After jumping at the opportunity to run her own locally operated business, Tina has since spent the last 6 years building her team to over 9, operating in 3 territories.
The comprehensive service offered by Megasealed was a game changer for Tina admiring the quality, the cost-effective model, and the service as a whole that she knew she could offer to her local community.
For Tina, running her own local business is an opportunity for herself and her team to give back to the community. Sometimes this is offering a discount to those who may need it, with one of Tina’s team members even volunteering with women shelters assisting those who are going through troubled times.
“Over the past 6 years there have been changes within our region and in the surrounding landscape of business. I am proud to say we have weathered the storm of the pandemic, looking after our staff and families, and continuing to offer high quality and safe service to our community.”
Megasealed Founder and Managing Director, Jacques Courtin attributed part of Megasealed’s national success to its franchise model. This approach sees all potential franchisees join Megasealed in a Sales Manager or Technician role for a minimum period of twelve months before purchasing their own territory.
“We offer franchisees a unique opportunity to draw on our product knowledge, training resources and extensive sales and marketing support, which in combination with their low-cost investment, has allowed these everyday Australians to build their own dream businesses,” says Courtin.
This year, Megasealed celebrates 26 years of national franchise operations with 34 franchises, servicing most Australian states and territories and completing in excess of 20,000 jobs per annum.
