Quest Rockhampton: A change for the better
Traffic, crowds and constant noise – the busy streets of Brisbane can be a tough environment for anyone to deal with.
This was the case for Graham Archer and Mandy Fallon – who, after more than 16 years in the sunny Queensland capital, recently decided to pick up and make the move further north.
Graham and Mandy have been married for 13 years, they have two sons Alex – 6 and Will – 9. For the majority of their years together they lived in the inner Brisbane suburb of New Farm and both worked for the Queensland government – based in the city. Graham would like to attribute their move to the increase in sunshine and quieter lifestyle but deep down there were other factors that came into their decision-making; they were offered the opportunity to become franchisees at the latest Quest Serviced Apartment property in the laid-back regional town of Rockhampton in Queensland.
“We decided to look at investing in a Quest franchise because Mandy’s sister and brother-in-law own two Quest franchises in Brisbane and we had seen first hand how successful and rewarding a Quest franchise could be,” Graham said.
For over 25 years, Quest Serviced Apartments has developed and honed a proven structure and formula to support franchisees in successfully running their businesses.
Quest Rockhampton has 73 serviced apartments that are centrally located in the Rockhampton CBD, overlooking the Fitzroy River.
So what advice would Graham and Mandy give to anyone looking to make a move? “Spend a little time in the location and have a good look around before making a decision. It has been very rewarding for us and we are really enjoying the lifestyle and looking forward to growing the business. We haven’t looked back since making the move and would recommend it to anyone looking for a change and a new challenge; we would say go for it!”
Almost anyone can become a Quest franchisee; you don’t need to have a background in hospitality just a strong desire to run your own business and have control over your future.
