Great news! Paramount Services has won the Business Services Franchise System of the Year award at the Westpac New Zealand Franchise Awards again.

This is the second year in a row that Paramount Services has won this prestigious award.

Paul Brown GM of Paramount said “in the current challenging economic environment the combined achievement of Paramount franchisees and franchisor is testimony to the overall quality of the Paramount franchise”.

"The Business Systems Franchise System of the Year award recognises all the dedication, loyalty and hard work of everyone in the Paramount family including our staff, our franchisees and suppliers."
