Cincinnati - 15 April, 2005 -

Handyman Connection, the nation's leading provider of home improvement and remodeling services, recently named its Broward County, Florida affiliate office the company's Franchise of the Year. The award was presented to local franchise owner Joe Franz during a ceremony held in conjunction with Handyman Connection's annual meeting this February in Orlando. "Handyman Connection is very proud of what the Broward County franchise has accomplished in the last couple of years," says Keith Hahn, Handyman Connection's vice president and chief operating officer, who presented the award to Mr. Franz. "Joe and his craftsmen are proving that success in business is truly the result of hard work and a commitment to customer satisfaction." Considered the company's most highly-coveted honor, the Handyman Connection Franchise of the Year Award recognizes outstanding achievement in four categories - dedication to customer satisfaction, overall growth, increase in sales and level of participation in Handyman Connection promotional programs. Handyman Connection's Broward County franchise was established by Franz in 2002. Since then, the local franchise has posted impressive annual growth. In 2003 alone, the Broward County franchise increased annual sales by more than 82 percent and improved its closing rate from 64.1 percent to 73.4 percent. In 2004, Handyman Connection performed more than 4,000 home improvement and repair jobs for Broward County homeowners.
