Australia: Former Quest Apartment Hotels franchise relationship manager Jason Travers has left his job to become a Quest franchisee.

Travers is launching his own site at Quest Goulburn, just outside Canberra, after five years working at the company’s head office.

“I’ve run my own business before, and I’ve sort of dabbled between business-ownership and corporate life. Working with the business as a consultant for five years, I suppose I saw the opportunity in Goulburn and decided it was time to take the plunge again,” Travers told Inside Franchise Business. “It’s shown me what it takes to run a successful franchise, so I’m confident to take the next step into business ownership.”

Travers said that was inspired to take on the Quest Goulburn greenfield site after charting the projected growth of the region. Approvals for wind and solar farms are underway, while the NSW Police Academy and Corrections Centre attracting business visitors to the town.

“The feedback I’ve received from business owners has been positive and there’s a lot to get excited about,” he said. “The business environment here is strong, so the conditions for premium serviced apartments are terrific.”
