DeckSeal welcomes newest franchisees DeckSeal is excited to announce our newest franchisees in Newcastle, Jeff Gorman and Luke Carney. Carpenters by trade, they are looking forward to growing the DeckSeal brand along the east coast of NSW, and surrounding suburbs. Why did they choose DeckSeal? “We chose DeckSeal because it is our background of trade and we found that it hasn’t been explored by other franchises in the area,” says Jeff. “The potential for growth with the right marketing and dedication from myself and Luke is exciting for us! What appealed to us about DeckSeal is the range of services provided and offered, the professionalism of skills and the finished product and customer satisfaction.” Jeff also said, they decided to buy a franchise so they could work for themselves, better work life balance, while having the support of an established brand. Jeff and Luke’s goals for the business is to develop their skills and expertise and to expand the brand in a new area.
