Common card · No. 403914

Jim's Mowing is an Australian lawn care service franchise which was founded in 1982 by Jim Penman, who initially launched it as a part-time gardening business while he was completing his PhD in history. He remains CEO of the group and actively involved in day-to-day operations. The business was run independently until 1989, when it became a franchise, which can now be found in four countries, with 5,000 total franchisees. After launching the Jim's Mowing franchise in 1989, further divisions followed. The second division was Jim's Cleaning, and since then the franchise model has been adapted to almost 50 different service industries (including plumbing, fencing, roofing, and Jim's Mobile Tyres) and multiple countries (including the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Canada). In 2019, Jim's Group is the largest home-service franchise in Australia. It has an annual turnover of over $500 million, approximately 4,000 franchises and about 35,000 customers.
