Guthrie Bowron is a well-established brand with a rich history and reputation of excellence that has stood the test of time. This commitment to quality has allowed Guthrie Bowron to become one of New Zealand’s leading providers of home decorating products. No other retailer in Australasia provides an entire decorating solution through specialist categories of paint, wallpaper, window dressings and flooring.

Key to this success is the passion and drive of the franchise owners. Each Guthrie Bowron storeis 100% locally owned and operated by franchisees from all walks of life. The Guthrie Bowron franchise model has been operating for over 20 years and has successfully launched stores across the country, and the opportunities for growth shows no sign of slowing.

Consumer desire for home decorating has only accelerated during the pandemic and continues to provide exciting opportunities to enter this vibrant industry.

Why Guthrie Bowron?

Guthrie Bowron stands out from DIY and specialty retailers through their product mix, service offering and emphasis on solutions and advice.

Consumers are looking for expert knowledge from a brand they can trust, and styles that reflect their own personal tastes and sense of refinement. Guthrie Bowron customers know that if they visit a Guthrie Bowron store they will receive expert advice on the latest design trends, with access to an extensive catalogue of quality products from leading brands.

Outside of the home decorating market, Guthrie Bowron has a strategic alliance with Dulux that enhances their overall market position and provides an expert level of service and advice to their trade customers, with the ability to offer exclusive products and services to both retail and trade.

The Right Kind of People

Guthrie Bowron franchisees are people with passion, enthusiasm, drive and common sense, who are wanting to do something for themselves and be in charge of their own success.

You’ll be leading and managing a team, so setting and maintaining standards and expectations is key. You don’t need them to be an expert in the field as comprehensive training and support is provided, covering data, systems, in store and home visits, and consumer-based research to give insights into the type of experiences that consumers want.

Becoming a Guthrie Bowron franchisee means being part of a team that offers a supportive environment, genuinely cares about people and celebrates their successes.

Leadership comes from the top, and the executive team is behind you all the way, learning from success as well as failure, building confidence in the strategies that are proven to work and ensuring the right resources are in place to enable the franchises to thrive.
