Michigan Business Owners Awarded Express Franchisees of the Year Honor
Oklahoma City, OK (PRWEB) March 17, 2017 -- When Michigan couple Paul and Julie LaFrance sought a franchise opportunity 12 years ago, they discovered Express Employment Professionals. In the decade since, they have consistently met and exceeded their business goals.
Most recently, the LaFrances were named Express Employment Professionals Franchisees of the Year for 2017 at the company’s International Leadership Conference in San Francisco.
Express recognizes and honors franchisees who excel in building brand equity and a distinguished company reputation. A panel of executives at Express International Headquarters in Oklahoma City selected the LaFrances to represent Express as its Franchisees of the Year due to their dedication to the company’s values of people, teamwork, build to last and integrity.
“Paul and Julie are perfect matches for the Express culture and work ethic,” said Bob Funk, CEO and chairman of the board for Express. “They value their business’ ability to do more than generate revenue, and their devotion to family and faith drive them to give back to the community in truly remarkable ways.”
As their business expanded to ownership of the Rochester Hills, Troy and Clinton Township Express offices, the LaFrances used their entrepreneurial success to find a sense of purpose. They have helped unemployed veterans get back on their feet, offered a home for new and expecting mothers to learn job skills and provided a promising home for their children, and provided meals for the low-income elderly and homeless. In addition, the couple provides monetary and spiritual support for less fortunate children in their communities.
“Throughout all of their service to others, they’ve raised four exceptional children who are strong in both character and faith. Paul and Julie are perfect representatives of Franchisees of the Year, and Express couldn’t be more proud to honor them for their outstanding service and genuine hearts,” Funk said.
Express offers a full range of employment solutions, including evaluation hire, flexible staffing, professional search and human resources. Express focuses on a wide range of positions, including professional, commercial and administrative.
