Former Accountant Buys His Own Business: Fibrenew Guelph-Cambridge

When Mark Huizinga first considered purchasing a franchise, one of his main considerations was lifestyle flexibility. He wanted to ensure that making such a transition would still allow him the ability to enjoy his family, keep volunteering as a basketball coach, and take an extra day off in the summer for a round of golf. After researching Fibrenew he realized the company was a great fit. “It’s hard work, but it’s also more of a nine-to-five opportunity rather than a 24-hours a day,” he says, adding that “Loyalty is also important to me. I didn’t see that in my old job, but I do with with Fibrenew.”

Huizinga’s “old job” he refers to was as a financial analyst with the country’s largest grocery store. In that role, he learned how to manage people, a bit about the franchise industry, and even sales strategies. But his most memorable work experience goes back to when he was a young man assisting his dad, who was a bricklayer, with his projects. “Working with him gave me the knowledge to just figure things out. He taught me work ethic — I don’t like half-assed, or ‘good enough.’” Purchasing Fibrenew Guelph-Cambridge means Huizinga can work with his hands and solve problems for his customers as the leader in leather, plastic and vinyl repair and restoration for the area.

DURHAM — You’ve heard of the three Rs, right? Well at Fibrenew Port Perry, they stand for other things.

“We repair, restore and re-dye most things that are leather, plastic and vinyl,” says Scugog-based franchisee Maurice Fadalti.

The former Slick Kitty rocker says his area covers most of Durham Region, including Oshawa and Whitby, and Kawartha Lakes. He’s 100 per cent mobile and will come to you to do the work.

And the work is wide-ranging. That beautiful leather couch your cat loves more than you, as evidenced by all the scratch marks? Fibrenew can repair it and other leather furniture. And if you want to change the colour of your leather item or furniture, it can do that, too.

Leather car seats, vinyl dashboards, benches and plastic moulding in boats and even your home’s damaged vinyl siding are all within range of a Fibrenew repair. And the finished product won’t look as if you did it yourself; there will be little if any evidence of a repair at all. Fadalti has met a few clients who tried a home repair on their own...read more!
