ORANGEVILLE, Ontario (July 4, 2011) - The Grounds Guys™ Canada is pleased to announce the opening of a new franchise location in LANARK COUNTY, Ontario.
The new owner of The Grounds Guys™ Lanark County franchise is Rene Bosman. The Grounds Guys™ Brand provides Landscape Management and Grounds Maintenance services for commercial and residential customers throughout Canada and the USA.
Rene Bosman brings both practical and managerial expertise, coupled with outstanding customer service and leadership experience, to the new Lanark County-based Grounds Guys™ landscape and grounds maintenance Company. Over the past three years Rene has gained experience in the Landscape and Maintenance field as the owner of the Bosman Property Maintenance Company located in Lanark County. Prior to this, Rene - along with his wife Jeannette - has devoted his energies to the operation of Providence Point, a full service Camp and Retreat Centre facility. This work has been both rich and rewarding, with the Centre acting as a regional resource for many church groups and private/business functions. With twelve years at Providence Point and three years of prior Landscape business experience, Rene knows the meaning of Customer Service: "We've worked very hard at Providence Point to make it an experience that our Guests will want to repeat in the future - and these same principles of Customer Service have been the cornerstone of our landscape business. I was first introduced to The Grounds Guys™ brand and business model while attending a Landscape Show in Toronto. It was a natural fit for us to rebrand to The Grounds Guys™ and thereby leverage the outstanding internal business systems that have produced winning results over the past 25 years - enabling our location to meet our true growth potential. The Grounds Guys™ Code of Values (CARE) provides both structure and purpose to our Teams' daily activities. Providing timely communications and knowledgeable, value-added solutions for our Clients is the key to maintaining The Grounds Guys™ customer service standards". It's clear that Rene's passion for service excellence and extensive experience will enable The Grounds Guys™ Lanark County Team to exceed their customers' expectations.
Rene - originally from Saskatoon - moved to Ontario, where he then met and married Jeannette. They have lived in the Lanark area for many years, and have been active in the local Business & Tourism Association for the past four years. They have two wonderful children: Caleb and Nicolaas.
The working assets of Rene; joined together with The Grounds Guys™ award winning* Business Model and Operating System, provides a dynamic environment for business growth and success. "Rene's prior landscape background and his operations management experience, coupled with his passion to succeed, will enhance the success of his business. Rene brings experience, energy and a commitment to Service Excellence that will enable him to provide an outstanding value to the community, his employees and his family," said Peter van Stralen, President and CEO of Sunshine® Brands. "We are very excited to welcome them into the growing network of The Grounds Guys™ franchisees."
