58 Business Franchise Australia and New ZealandSNApSHoT: SNAp-oN toolSFor the waller family, Snap-
on tools means more than
for most.In fact the positive impact of a Snap-on
career for the Wallers’ has resulted in
the next generation jumping on board to
continue the same path of success in the
tried , true and proven Snap-on Tools
Franchise system, a well-recognised brand
and award winning franchise model in
Australia and internationally.
Clive and wife Wendy Waller moved from
England to Australia in 2003 with their
two young sons. After a period settling in,
Clive and Wendy searched for a new career
for Clive that would be a smart decision for
the family. With Clive’s previous success
working for Snap-on in England, the
Wallers’ leapt at the chance to again invest in
their future with Snap-on. They knew that
a Snap-on franchise meant the backing of a
large support network, the best quality toolbrand, the potential for financial rewards
with hard work, plus the ability to be your
own boss. All were benefits that suited Clive
and Wendy perfectly.
The Waller children, twins Craig and
Daniel, were exposed to the Snap-on career
lifestyle from an early age. With Clive
on the road, plus Wendy handling the
stock ordering and accounts on top of her
full-time role as a nurse, Snap-on was an
ingrained part of Waller family life.
“For as long as I remember, Dad has been
working with Snap-on. As children, Daniel
and I used to jump into the truck and
admire all the cool tools in the back,” said
Craig.
When Craig and Daniel finished school
many years later, working in the automotive
industry was on their career radar.
After both completing diesel mechanic
apprenticeships, they then considered
their first move into the work force.

see,” said Clive Waller.
