If you’re a skilled tradesperson looking to run your own business, Jim’s Handyman could be your opportunity to take control.
Just ask Robert Young, the man behind Jim’s explosive growth in New Zealand.
From leading the charge in Auckland to eyeing a major expansion into Wellington, Robert is reshaping how handyman services are delivered across the country.
From the Ground Up: Robert Young’s Jim’s Handyman Journey
Robert didn’t just buy into a brand—he built one.
When Jim’s Handyman entered the New Zealand market, Robert saw a gap in Auckland’s service industry.
Within just three years, he turned that vision into 30 active franchisees.
“In Auckland, we’ve built an impressive network of 30 Jim’s Handyman franchises. We’re now the market leader.”
That kind of growth doesn’t happen by accident.
It’s a reflection of Robert’s leadership, the strength of the Jim’s model, and the trust customers place in the brand.
Why Choose Jim’s Handyman Franchise: Robert Young Answers
Robert knew he could succeed with the right support and system.
Jim’s Handyman offered both.
“Jim’s Handyman isn’t just another franchise. It gives you the structure, marketing, and tools you need to grow—without taking a cut of your profits.”
Jim’s Handyman uses a fixed-fee model instead of royalties, which means franchisees keep more of what they earn.
That’s a model Robert stands by.
“The more you grow your business, the more you keep. That’s what makes this system so attractive.”
How Robert Young Helps Jim’s Handyman Franchisees Succeed
As a franchisor, Robert’s focus is simple: make sure every franchisee has what they need to succeed.
“We provide full training, lead generation, and one-on-one support. Whether you’re new to business or an experienced builder, we’ve got your back.”
Franchisees benefit from:
- Fixed weekly fees (no commissions)
- Marketing and call centre support
- Ongoing coaching
- Business tools and training resources
It’s not just about giving them leads—it’s about building a community.
“Our Auckland team supports each other. We share best practices and grow together.”
Wellington Is Robert Young’s Next Big Move with Jim’s Handyman
After dominating the Auckland market, Robert has his sights set on Wellington.
And for good reason.
“Wellington has enormous opportunities because of what the houses are made of and the geography of the place.”
With its older homes, weather exposure, and traditional wooden structures, Wellington is a hotbed for handyman work.
“Even in Auckland, a small storm gives us plenty of work—fence repairs, maintenance, fixes. But Wellington gets it 10 times worse.”
And right now? There’s no clear market leader.
That’s why Robert is moving fast to bring Jim’s Handyman to the capital.
Who Is Robert Young looking For
Robert isn’t looking for anyone—he’s looking for the right people.
That means experienced tradespeople with strong work ethics and solid customer service skills.
Minimum requirements:
- Qualified builder or 10+ years of hands-on trade experience
- Business mindset
- Professional communication skills
- $15,000 deposit, tools, and a reliable vehicle
“If you know your trade and you want to run your own business, this is your shot. But you’ve got to be ready.”
What Makes Jim’s Handyman Franchise Different
- Fixed fees instead of profit-sharing
- Leads from a trusted national brand
- Training and business support from day one
- Freedom to grow at your own pace
- Community of like-minded franchisees
It’s a business built around trust, not pressure.
You control how much you work—and how much you earn.

Support is strong.
The opportunity? It’s wide open.
