AKA " THE TERMINATOR"         AKA MRS JIMBO

"It's always the best policy to tell the truth, unless of course you are an exceptionally good liar"

STOP PRESS:

• Jim has terminated Jim's Mowing in Canada ( Maunder has negotiated a temporary stay of execution)
• Previous month it  was the UK. What next month? New Zealand?
• In fact he is now going for the Building Maintenance Division and the PERGOLAS division- again illegally. 
  

The control freak has also removed all the Franchisors' Power Of Attorney - any trust remaining has now completely evaporated.

Jim has recently lost his top man with Maunder jumping before he could be pushed, no doubt being blamed for Jim's "difficult" year. A period where, for the 1st time, individuals have stood up to him, litigation mounted, significant votes of no confidence, and brave journalists have published the true facts about Penman and his appalling management style and record.  

2009 will go down as the beginning of the end for Jim Penman.

Some important media exposure due early in 2010, including a possible TV Investigation.

Are you still fiddling, Nero?

This web-site is dedicated to all those who love ( to hate) Jim, ESPECIALLY THOSE FAMILIES WHOSE LIVES HAVE BEEN TOUCHED AND ULTIMATELY ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY THEIR INVOLVEMENT WITH JIM.

To the Jim's customer he is the successful friendly guy who mows the lawn and cleans the house etc.

To many others he and his team have sold them a franchise that hasn't lived up to its promise. Jim must be very proud to have thousands of disillusioned ex franchisees all over the world.

In the last 7 years almost 3000 franchisees have left the Mowing division alone (an attrition rate of over 100%). WHY?

Mowing franchisees stay on average for only 4.5 years. WHY?

Only 6 Divisions (out of 30) are showing any real growth. WHY?

Current litigation, lists of failed Divisions, and high franchisee attrition rates are all shown on seperate pages here.

Please tell us your experience by email or by posting on the forum.

We hope this information source will grow quickly into a comprehensive analysis of " the truth about Jim Penman" and will therefore help prevent other people from suffering the same appalling fate as so many people have.

A forum is also planned.

We are not aiming to harm the businesses of any current Jims.

If any customers visit this site please be assured that the customer service ethos within Jim's is generally high, and this website refers only to Jim Penman himself and not the franchisees who generally offer an excellent service to thousands of customers. 

Yours in hope and anticipation

Mrs Jimbo
