Battery World Celebrates Franchise Excellence At Annual Awards

WA Franchise Partners with the Marketing Excellence Award - Group

Franchise partners from around Australia were recognised at Battery World's 2026 National Conference in Brisbane in August.

The event brought the network together to celebrate the achievements of its franchise partners, suppliers and teams, recognising excellence across business performance, marketing, innovation and customer service.

As a proudly franchise-operated business, Battery World's strength lies in the expertise and commitment of its locally owned and operated stores. The conference is an annual opportunity for the network to acknowledge the dedication that drives outstanding results for customers across Australia.

The evening's highest individual honour – Franchise Partner of the Year – went to Jared Clarke from Battery World Enoggera, in recognition of all-round business performance, operational excellence and an unwavering commitment to the Battery World brand.

The Multi-Site Franchise Partner of the Year Award was presented to Matt, Peta, Andrew and Kimberley Milne, who successfully operate five stores across South Australia, spanning Mildura, Berri, Gawler, Marion and Victor Harbor.

Greg Leslie's Townsville store claimed the Highest Total Sales Award, a result that reflects the team's sustained focus on exceptional customer relationships and service delivery as well as roadside excellence.
