Ep104 Kyle Wallwork, Kwik Kopy Kawana Waters - franchise owner journey
Kyle Wallwork is a five-year franchise owner of Kwik Kopy Kawana Waters on the Sunshine Coast. With a 25-year background in hospitality sales across major hotel groups in Australia and New Zealand, Kyle transitioned out of the corporate world after a company merger led him to reassess his future.
Ready for a lifestyle shift and inspired to build something of his own, he explored different businesses before a conversation with Kwik Kopy led to an unexpected opportunity. The fit was right, from culture to values and he took over an established center with a long-standing team.
Kyle now plays a hands-on role across all parts of the business, from financials and client meetings to the occasional delivery. He’s also part of a national performance group of franchise owners, where collaboration and accountability drive business improvement.
With a strong foundation and passion for growth, Kyle continues to shape the future of his business while keeping family and balance at the heart of it.
