Mitchell Blake
FRANCHISOR
Mitch Blake is a Jim’s Mowing Franchisor dedicated to onboarding, mentoring, and supporting franchisees to build profitable, sustainable businesses. Known for his supportive leadership, Mitch helps new operators gain confidence, capability, and momentum from day one.
Mitch’s journey with Jim’s began after spotting a franchise opportunity online, attracted by the structured support and guaranteed work available to new franchisees. Entrepreneurial from a young age, he quickly recognised that long-term success comes from strong systems, coaching, and guidance — all of which Jim’s Mowing provides.
With these systems in place, Mitch exceeded expectations in his first year, turning over more than he had previously earned in mining. He also discovered the energy and fulfilment that come from connecting with other franchisees and contributing to a collaborative network.
That dedication to helping others naturally led Mitch into a franchisor role. Today, he works closely with franchisees throughout onboarding and beyond, providing practical advice, mentorship, and hands-on support. He is passionate about helping them build strong customer relationships, develop confidence, and run profitable, well-structured businesses.
Within his first six months as a franchisor, Mitch was recognised with the prestigious Diamond Franchisor Award, reflecting his commitment to franchisee success and the strength of his region.
Mitch maintains close, trusted relationships with his franchisees and takes genuine pride in their achievements. Whether mentoring one-on-one, sharing insights, or facilitating meetings, he is driven by the energy and fulfilment that comes from helping others succeed within the Jim’s Mowing system.

FAQs
How Does a Jim’s Franchise Work?
A Jim’s franchise belongs to the wider Jim’s Group network, however, each franchise operates as a semi-autonomous business. Franchisees are responsible for running the day-to-day operations of their business, while their franchisors are on hand to provide them with ongoing support and mentoring. Read more about the Jim’s Group franchise model here.
How many Jim’s Services are there?
You might be surprised to learn that Jim’s Group has over 50 service divisions across its portfolio! New divisions are launched regularly, so our company is constantly growing.
How do I know which division is right for me?
At the end of the day, the answer to this is a highly individual one. The best way to figure out which division is right for you is to think about what you enjoy doing and where your skills lie. For example, if you enjoy working outdoors and working with your hands, perhaps a Mowing or Fencing franchise would be the best fit for you.
This is a question we get asked frequently, so we’ve written an article to help you come to a decision.
Can I franchise an existing business?
Absolutely. You can certainly take an existing business and rebrand it as a Jim’s franchise.
Why buy a franchise over starting my own business?
It’s no secret that starting a business can be very difficult. However, you’re much more likely to succeed under a franchise model because you have the backing of an existing brand and an established model. Statistics show that around 90-95% of cleaning and gardening businesses fail within the first year. At Jim’s, that number drops down to 11%.
How do you become a Master Franchise
At Jim’s, we call our Master Franchises ‘Regional Franchises’. Our regional franchisors are responsible for providing support to their region, whilst also contributing to the growth of their region. To become a regional franchisor, the first step is to reach out and express your interest. These positions are highly sought after, so get in touch to learn more.
Is Jim’s a local business?
Community is a big part of our ethos. Although Jim’s Group is a large company, we encourage our franchisees to establish a good reputation and presence within their local communities.
Is it truly a lifestyle business?
Owning a Jim’s franchise allows you to achieve the perfect work-life balance. Our franchisees are given the opportunity and freedom to set their own hours, take time off when they want, and to grow and develop their very own business in their own time.
