BRW praises Worldwide Online

The hub-and-spoke model keeps rolling out the recognition for Worldwide Online Printing.

For the fourth year in a row, the group has been named Australia's fastest-growing design and print franchise group in BRW magazine's Top 50 Fast Franchises study.

CEO, Mark Mendelson (pictured) welcomed the listing as more positive news for the company. "We knew we'd had a great year, but it's always tremendously thrilling when all our efforts to bring so many talented entrepreneurs into the system are recognised independently," he said.

Manderson also attributed part of this success to the hub-and-spoke model, which he believes has proved a real winner for all involved. "We were the first print communications group in Australia to introduce a 'hub and spoke' production model, and invested around $4 million last year to further develop our production and technology capabilities," he said.

"It means Worldwide's franchisees can focus on sales, marketing and business development instead of getting bogged down with the intricacies of managing printing presses. Our investment is clearly paying dividends."
