Our Founder Christine Taylor
Founder of Aussie Pooch Mobile Christine Taylor created one of Australia’s most successful franchising businesses that has helped thousands of people build their own franchises to incredible heights and completely turn their lives around.
At just 16 years old, Chris started a part-time dog washing business in her parents' backyard. She was mad about dogs, loved them with a passion.
This passion, paired with her entrepreneurial spirit, led Christine to franchising, where her success was recognised by her many accolades, such as Queensland Young Achiever of the Year, Telstra Business Woman of the Year, Franchising Hall of Fame Inductee, and Australian Business Women's Hall of Fame Inductee.
Her dream of making a difference in the lives of the family dog came true. Under her 29 years of leadership, the Aussie Pooch Mobile family grew to almost 200 franchisees Australia-wide, washing approximately 25,000 dogs a month.
Her motto was “To be successful, first you have to fall in love with what you do.”
