From employee to franchisee with Autosmart

Following in the footsteps of several other Autosmart Regional Business Managers, Tom Gerard is making the leap and becoming an independent business owner with Autosmart.

Tom spent 14 years of his career supporting the Autosmart network of franchisees grow their own profitable, sustainable and recession-proof businesses.

He understands the Autosmart franchise model inside out and jumped at the chance of becoming a franchisee in his home town of Leeds.

Tom takes on a very well established business, but he is certainly not complacent and is determined to win many new customers.

“I’ve lived and worked in the Leeds area for many years and always said to myself that when Steve Smith sells his business that I would love to take over the reins. My ultimate plan is to become a multi-showroom franchisee within a few years.”
