Jim’s Fencing as one of the largest Jim’s Group divisions
Jim’s Fencing is proud to be one of the largest divisions within the Jim’s Group. With our extensive network of skilled professionals and a reputation for excellence, we provide top-quality fencing solutions across Australia.
How it all started
In 1982, with only $24 of capital, Jim Penman launched Jim’s Mowing – the very first step in his journey to becoming a household name. Initially, the company started as a part-time business, but quickly grew to become one of Australia’s most iconic franchise groups.

Jim’s Group has since expanded internationally, with franchisees now operating in New Zealand, Canada and the United Kingdom.
In 1989, after shifting Jim’s Mowing to a franchise model, the number of divisions under the Jim’s Group umbrella began to grow. More than 50 divisions are now delivering the highest standard of service across many other industries, from home and garden care to bookkeeping and insurance.
No matter the division, the Jim’s name stands for those same promises we make to all our customers: high quality, outstanding workmanship, and that ‘small business’ customer service.
No Other Success
How a Lawn-Mowing Business Transformed Thousands of Lives
What started with a $24 investment and a battered mower grew into one of the largest franchise systems in the Southern Hemisphere. In No Other Success, Jim Penman—founder and CEO of Jim’s Group—shares the remarkable journey from mowing lawns in suburban Melbourne to leading a network of more than 5,500 franchisees across 40+ industries. This is not just a business story. It’s a story about second chances, family, resilience, and the belief that true success cannot be measured by money alone.
From near-bankruptcy and personal struggles to building a business model that prioritises people before profit, Jim reveals the messy, unpolished, and deeply human story behind the iconic Jim’s logo. Packed with real-life lessons, candid reflections, and stories from franchisees whose lives were changed, No Other Success is both a business memoir and an inspiring guide for anyone chasing freedom, purpose, and the chance to build something lasting.

Local experts with big business backing
Each Jim’s franchisee is a small business owner; when you choose Jim’s, you support a hardworking local business and their families. These local experts are best equipped to understand your needs and what options really work best in your region.
But small and local doesn’t mean a lower quality of work. Each highly trained franchisee delivers maximum quality and attention to detail, and on every job, they are backed by the full force of the Jim’s Group.
This means our Jim’s Fencing teams always have the resources they need to provide you with flawless work – and in the unlikely event that you have any issues, you’re covered by the Jim’s Fencing Guarantee.
Industry-leading 0C0C0C& security
Our franchisees and their capable teams undergo extensive hands-on training, and we have the highest standards for every member of the Jim’s Fencing family.
Each franchisee undergoes a police check and has full public liability insurance, so you feel as secure as possible when we visit your home.
And to top it off, we have one simple rule: the person who quotes the job does the job. We’ll never pass on the job to a dodgy contractor, so you can put your trust in our capable team.
