Interview with Jake and Kurt Ewald - Sportzing Court Care Gold Coast

Eden Exchange recently spoke with Jake and Kurt Ewald who run a successful Sportzing Court Care business on the Gold Coast.  Jake and Kurt talked to us about their Franchising journey as well as their experiences growing their Sportzing business.

 

Sportzing Court Care is an Australian Franchise which specialises in servicing, cleaning, maintaining and installing tennis courts.  It has grown rapidly in recent years, and is looking for new Franchisees around Australia.

 

 

Both with backgrounds in the trades and service industry - Locksmithing (Jake) and Refrigeration + Air conditioning (Kurt) we see the value in the maintenance industry. We first got involved and exposed to the tennis industry when our late father Keith Ewald owned the Franchise. We saw the potential and couldn't let the opprortunity slip.

 

 

We focus on customer satisfaction to sustain regular reccuring visits. We are continually building and expanding our database. We have a diverse range of customers; Residential, Commercial, Body Corp.

 

 

Servicing in the dry. Sales in the wet. The servicing side is heavily weather dependant - Make hay while the sun shines!

 

 

Team work, Ambition, Organisational skills and Passion

 

 

Advice and support of all kinds, access to the database, contact and lead information, and product sales. Very willing to help to achieve the best in each region.

 

 

Rise in artificial grass surfaces; schools are installing synthetic grass all around, as it requires lower maintenance than real grass. The commonwealth games are bringing plenty of interest to the sporting industry. We feel this is going to expand through other recreational activities.

 

 

We are proud to be immersed in the synthetic grass industry for so long - which has anabled us to establish client and supplier relationships. We have gained many routine long standing customers that have great respect and give us a sense of appreciation. We have experienced many challenges along the way, most small businesses will. It is these moments that teach you the most and help grow a Franchise.

 

 

The most interesting part has to be the variety of places we visit. Generally visiting two to three places each day - which sure keeps things moving.
