Brenda Gemmell's Ascendancy at Pillar To Post
In a significant move, Pillar To Post has announced the well-deserved promotion of Brenda Gemmell to the esteemed position of Director of Consultant and Coach Success. With nearly twenty years of dedicated experience in franchising and a remarkable record of over 360 successful franchise placements, including more than 160 with Pillar To Post, Gemmell is set to be a key player in advancing the company’s vision for growth and consultant collaboration.
This franchise is recognized as North America's premier home inspection service provider. With its strong foundation and commitment to excellence, Pillar To Post thrives through innovative approaches tailored to franchisee success. Brenda Gemmell embodies this vision perfectly. Prior to her current role, she spent 13 years in tech at Intel, where she managed operations in 27 countries, gaining invaluable experience in leadership and strategic management.
Transitioning from corporate life, Gemmell became a multi-unit franchise owner, eventually stepping into a franchise development executive role. Her efforts were instrumental in the growth of a brand that was subsequently acquired by Neighborly. Moreover, her history as a top-performing franchise broker demonstrated her versatility, placing candidates across various sectors including quick-service restaurants and home healthcare firms.
Gemmell expressed her enthusiasm for her new position: "I’m thrilled to continue my journey through franchising with Pillar To Post in this new role. It has always been my passion to assist business owners in realizing their potential and becoming integral parts of their communities through franchising."
Having been with Pillar To Post for nearly a decade, Gemmell has built a reputation for trust and commitment to the long-term success of franchisees. In her new capacity, she will collaborate closely with franchise consultants and brokers to identify high-quality candidates for the Executive Model opportunity offered by Pillar To Post.
The Executive Model distinguishes itself from many other franchises in the home services sector, as it allows business owners to manage operations while delegating day-to-day functions. This aspect empowers them to cultivate their businesses by leading teams rather than conducting inspections themselves. This strategic approach enhances operational efficiency and business scalability, allowing franchise owners to focus on growth while reaping significant rewards.
Eric Steward, the Senior Director of Franchise Recruitment, praised Gemmell’s capability: "Brenda excels at nurturing relationships and creating meaningful connections with people. Her deep understanding of our brand and genuine concern for potential franchise owners set her apart. We are excited to have her spearheading recruitment partnerships."
The franchise continues to gain traction among investors looking for viable opportunities in the flourishing home services sector. With Pillar To Post’s Executive Model, franchise owners are provided with a structured pathway for advancement— one that emphasizes efficiency without compromising profitability.
