Check out the key members of the support team.
Peter Smythe | Franchise Development Manager
At the heart of every great franchise is a great operator — and my role is to find them, support them, and help them thrive. The Installation Company is about more than just quality installs; it’s about building a network of capable, hands-on business owners who take pride in their work.
With a background in supporting franchise owners — I’m passionate about helping practical, capable individuals take the leap into business ownership. At TIC, I’m the first point of contact for prospective franchisees, guiding them through the process of joining the network and supporting ownership transitions as we expand across New Zealand.
