At Laing + Simmons we work hard to ensure that the programmes and products we develop stay relevant to the needs of the franchisees. The Principals Programme is a perfect example of what great results can be achieved when we are all focused and committed to working in the same direction. This programme sees small groups of like-minded Principals meeting regularly to work on, rather than in, their businesses.

One of these groups has achieved a combined income increase of 185%, with every one of the six member offices seeing double digit percentage growth over last year. I am thrilled to be able to report results such as these, particularly given the current market conditions, and hope that it will encourage other Principals to take advantage of the cutting-edge ideas and support Laing + Simmons can provide them.

" I'm proud to be part of the Laing + Simmons group as it is a respected and trusted brand that is highly regarded by the community. On a personal level and as a manager of a team, I am pleased to be a Laing + Simmons franchisee for the top quality training that is continuously offered. It keeps me focused and up to date, and offers my team direction and inspiration."

"I find the monthly Principal’s meetings very rewarding. They help keep me motivated to continue building a better and stronger business. I also find the support from Head Office to be fantastic. They are always there to help regardless of how big or small my challenge"

"Laing + Simmons is forward thinking in terms of technology and marketing. As part of the Laing + Simmons group, we have access to progressive online marketing tools to offer our clients as well as excellent internal technological support to take the stress and hassle out of areas like compliance, auditing, cash flow management, advertising and customer relationship management."

“I have been a Laing + Simmons franchisee for over 15 years now and, as one of the longest standing principals in the group, I continue to be very pleased to be part of the Laing + Simmons family. Not only do we receive tremendous support from Head Office, we are also part of a collegiate environment that promotes respect and shared learning. Laing + Simmons is a small boutique brand that is focused on quality, not quantity. I believe that this has played an enormous role in drawing clients to us, and therefore, to our overall success as a business.”
