Authority Brands' 2023 Convention brought all of our brands together in one place to learn, grow, and celebrate. As the year winds to a close, we are highlighting the Franchise Owners of the Year for 2022, who were honored on the last night of Convention.
Here's what Lance Sinclair, Brand President of Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, Mister Sparky Electric, and One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning had to say about One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning Owner of the Year Brian Wick:
"Our winner’s remarkable achievement of growing his franchise by an impressive 27 percent year-over-year is a testament to his dedication and expertise in the HVAC industry.
With 30 years of experience in the HVAC field and a history that began as an Assistant Installer and progressed to various roles, including Service Tech, Comfort Advisor, Operations Manager, and eventually General Manager, his journey within the One Hour system exemplifies his in-depth understanding of the business.
His leadership has not only contributed to the success of his franchise but has also influenced and shaped the One Hour brand experience for customers today. As a Shareholder and President of QTL Holdings, which oversees operations in Medina and Dayton, Ohio, he has led these locations to win multiple awards, including Franchise of the Quarter, Presidents Circle Awards, and Personal Achievement awards in 2022.
Our Franchise of the Year’s commitment to providing exceptional customer service, implementing innovative strategies for value creation, and investing in his team members has been a driving force behind his franchise's growth. His expertise has also made him a sought-after guest on HVAC-oriented podcasts and publications.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, he finds joy in spending quality time with his family, writing, playing music, engaging in car racing and maintenance, and actively participating in the BMX bicycle racing community.
Please join me in congratulating our 2022 Franchise of the Year – Brian Wick of Medina, Ohio!"
