Here's a little bit about us

Our Story

Our story starts with a bit of a knowing wink. Back in 1996, we launched with a name that wasn't exactly subtle, and yeah, it got people talking.

Turns out, a wife's friend, watching a particularly handy dad of four in action, jokingly asked if she could "hire her hubby." And just like that, a business was born out of a need for extra income and a slightly suggestive turn of phrase.

But like all good things that started last century, we've evolved. The incredible talent within our franchise network isn't limited by outdated stereotypes. Many brilliant women are at the helm of thriving franchises, building fantastic businesses, getting on the tools and creating lasting relationships with customers. So, while the name remains a bit of a tongue-in-cheek wink to our beginnings, the service is all about skill, reliability, and getting the job done right – by whoever is best for it.

Today, we're a nationwide force in property maintenance, providing solutions and fixes to over 20,000 customers and complete around 70,000 jobs every year, so that cheeky start has led somewhere pretty great.
