Battery World franchisee David âCrockâ Thomas has ridden the boom and bust cycle of business in Gladstone since 1992 and he wouldnât have it any other way.
After working in the fuel industry for many years, Mr Thomas and his wife Anne purchased the franchise with their son David in 2016 and hasnât looked back.
A year later he bought the Battery World Caloundra franchise, plus he has partnered with his daughter and son-in-law Lindsay and Keith Windress in their mechanical repairs and fabrication business TMW QLD.
Between all of his business partnerships, Mr Thomas said he employed 12 people and was soon to hire another staff member for Battery World Gladstone.
