Ex-military personnel could find their future lies in fire and security
When people leave the armed forces, they must make decisions about what comes next for them. Franchising isn’t an option that might immediately come to mind and yet it’s an opportunity that has real potential for individuals with that background. We know from experience just how successful they can be in franchising as Sam Gale, who runs our Cambridge franchise, was formerly in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers.
From repairing tanks in the desert to installing fire and security systems is quite a leap of faith but it’s one that Sam Gale has been pleased to take. Sam was a Lance Corporal in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) where he trained as a mechanic having previously worked as an electrician working primarily on tanks.
Sam explains: “I really enjoyed my time in the army and the training I received there was world class. In civvy street I was looking for an opportunity equally challenging and one which would use my technical skills to the full. Jackson Fire & Security ticked every box.”
At Jackson Fire and Security, the franchise opportunity we offer is a management franchise – and that could be especially appealing to ex-armed forces. Management franchise owners don’t need to come equipped with sector specific knowledge as they are the ones running the franchise but not necessarily carrying out its day-to-day operations. If you’re someone who relishes leading, it can be a perfect balance, enabling you to bring on board and manage a team with the right blend of skills within your business.
Are you looking for a new career that gives you a sense of purpose?
Our franchise is a great opportunity for those people who have already dedicated their career thus far to the protection of others. After all, our entire business is devoted to keeping people and property safe and secure from threats such as fire and criminals. For those who entered the military motivated by a desire to protect, our franchise offers a natural fit as franchisee Sam Gale comments:
“Taking on the Jackson Fire and Security Cambridge franchise felt like a good match for the skills and experiences I had gained from my career in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. I wanted to run a business that gave me a real sense of purpose and presented the opportunity to have a positive impact on others.
“When you’ve worked in the military, you know the importance of self-discipline, self-motivation and being adaptable which also really matters in the franchising sector. I enjoy the variety and challenge of what I’m doing now – if you’re focused, flexible and determined, you can make a real success of it.”
