Sharp eye on the future

By Emma Schenk
PAKENHAM business Yellow Brick Road is a finalist for the Cardinia Shire Franchised Business award, and continues to hold itself to high standards in the industry.
It is unique in offering all four key products that a home owner requires – home loans, financial planning, insurances, and accounting and tax.
“It’s a one-stop shop for all your needs and that’s what makes us different,” said owner Roger Thornton.
Since joining with the Yellow Brick Road franchise, the businesses network turnover has grown by 40 per cent, with expectations that this will continue to increase.
The business was also recognised as the top Victorian branch and was rated fourth out of 30 national branches in 2010.
Roger is a local resident with 15 years’ experience in the industry and has always held an active role in the community.
In 2004 he became a member of the Pakenham Rotary Club and strives to continually give back to his local community.
“My experience and local involvement allows us to give the best advice to customers,” Roger said.
With innovative technology, each client receives a personalised road map that provides wealth projection over time and plans for the near and distant future.
It’s about setting goals and getting the most out of life at YBR, and they aim to create the best possible future for all their customers.
