PlaceMakers

Concept: PlaceMakers is a building materials distribution business serving the building trade and serious DIYers. Most of our stores are co-owned by a Joint Venture Operator and Fletcher Distribution Limited, combining the strength and buying power of one of New Zealand's largest building merchant chains with the energy, commitment, ambition and leadership skills of an astute local business person. Find out more, click on the "visit website" link. Territory: New Zealand wide  - locations subject to availability at time of enquiry Training Provided: Prior to taking up a Joint Venture, all external candidates are required to complete an ‘onboarding' programme. This involves a period of at least 3 months engagement in a variety of roles within the business to ensure that they have good knowledge of PlaceMakers' systems and procedures and also to ensure that they obtain the necessary experience in the building materials distribution industry.Agreement Term: The Joint Venture franchise agreement is usually offered for a period of between one and five years. There is no obligation upon either party to renew the agreement on expiry. PlaceMakers has the ability to terminate a Joint Venture during its term. This rarely happens, and it usually relates to non compliance with systems and procedures or due to the financial performance of the store.Investment Required: The investment required to enter into a Joint Venture franchise is related to the size and operating assets of the selected branch, and starts at around $200,000 for a smaller business. Business Established: 1954 Franchising Commenced: 1991 Qualifications Required: We’re looking for a small number of highly exceptional people throughout New Zealand to become leaders of a crucial part of our business. These are serious roles at the head of important businesses and so we’re looking for people who possess a particular set of personal attributes and characteristics.  So do you think you might measure up?

About PlaceMakers
PlaceMakers A ‘know-how can do’ attitude has made PlaceMakers the premier supplier of building materials to New Zealand’s commercial and residential construction markets.

PlaceMakers sell a wide range of building products used in all aspects of building, maintenance, and home improvement at 62 locations throughout New Zealand.

PlaceMakers focuses predominantly on the trade market, but also services the project driven "Do It Yourself" (DIY) market. The majority of PlaceMakers branches are run as joint venture franchises with local branch operators.

PlaceMakers also manufactures wall frames, roof trusses and structural components at 15 frame and truss operations strategically placed to support local branches.

PlaceMakers is proud of its heritage as a supplier to the New Zealand building trade since 1954. The PlaceMakers Joint Venture franchise enables commercially savvy individuals to go into business with New Zealand's largest building materials manufacturer and distributor, Fletcher Building.

It's a business model that offers the right kinds of people an exciting business ownership and leadership opportunity.

Our Operators enjoy support from Fletcher Distribution Limited in numerous areas including marketing, brand development, merchandising and promotions, supplier negotiation, product ranging, store layouts, finance and reporting, taxation, legal, human resources and employment relations, health and safety, staff training, IT and business systems support.

Operating a Placemakers Joint Venture is a challenging general management leadership role which requires a significant financial investment and should not be undertaken without proper consideration and a great deal of determination.

Our JV Operators are a diverse group, from a wide range of industry and professional backgrounds, but they all require a number of absolutely critical characteristics. Here are some of those key attributes:
  • Being passionate about their customers, and their personal relationships in general
  • Being commercially savvy and interpersonally aware
  • Enjoying and managing commercial and employee relationships effectively
  • Having the energy and determination to get things done
  • A hands-on management style and a good fix on how the business is tracking
  • The ability to cope well with the demands and significant responsibility of self-employment
