Hear from our lawns & gardens franchisee, Marty Holloway:
Married with five children and nine grandchildren – “and growing!” – Marty decided to pursue his true passion.
“I’d always been an outdoors person, no matter what the weather. I also enjoyed meeting and helping people, as well as gardening. V.I.P. made me feel comfortable and explained the initial process. If you want to get happier and healthier, while managing your own time and being present with your family, give it a go,” he says.

History
V.I.P. began in 1972 when Bill Vis, selling vacuum cleaners door-to-door, noticed a customer's lawn needed mowing and offered to help. This led to the founding of V.I.P. franchising in 1979.
As Australia's first home services franchise and the third franchise company in the country, V.I.P. has celebrated 45 years of success.
Today, it remains a proud family business, led by Bill and co-founder Rose Vis, with their children actively involved.
V.I.P. continues to evolve, embracing innovation while delivering the V.I.P. treatment.
