Phil and Liz Maunder purchased a Jim's Mowing franchise in Melbourne in 1989. Phil and Liz were one of the first to purchase a Jim’s Mowing franchise and they moved to Adelaide in late 1990 to become the first ever franchisors in Jim's Mowing.
Over the next 15 years Phil and Liz built Jim's Mowing in Adelaide, from scratch, into a household name where it had in excess of 170 franchisees in 2005 when the business
was sold.
Over the following years Phil consulted to the Jim's Group head office in various roles, including franchisee and franchisor training, mowing division support and coaching.
However, Phil always wanted to establish and build a new franchised lawn mowing and gardening business in Australia from scratch, with a focus on exemplary client and franchise owner service. Hence the launch of FOX Mowing & Gardening.
Phil was responsible for many innovations during their time at Jim's. From a customer point of view the one that stood out was the introduction of Guaranteed Same Day Service. This, along with innovative marketing and a commitment to exemplary customer service allowed them to build a business that became the leader in the mowing and gardening business in Adelaide.
