New Franchisee ‘To Be Appointed’

Otago Daily Times:

The parent franchise operator of Highmark Homes – whose Otago franchisee was placed in liquidation a week ago owing more than $700,000 – has said a new company will “shortly be appointed for the Dunedin area”.

During the past week, several calls have been made to the offices of Tauranga-based managing director of the privately owned parent of Highmark Homes franchises, Bob Hunt, but he has not returned calls.

In recent years, when five other, separate, branded building companies’ Otago franchisees went into receivership or liquidation, the parent franchisee often stepped in to offer assurances of contract completion and assist new franchisees to take over.
