Mosquito Authority, a pest control franchise, has named its franchisee of the year along with its rookie of the year.
Anthony Duncan, a multi-unit owner of Mosquito Authority in Richmond, Virginia and San Juan, Puerto Rico, was named Franchisee of the Year.
New to the brand as co-owners of Mosquito Authority of the Eastern Upper Peninsula and Gaylord, Michigan, Steve and Sarah Dent were also named Rookies of the Year.
“We are honored to recognize Anthony Duncan and the Dents for their efforts this year as an integral part of our franchisee family,” said Jason Pritchard, chief executive officer of Main Line Brands, owner of the Mosquito Authority brand. “We are committed to maximizing the opportunities available for owners to succeed, and this year’s convention presented wonderful opportunities for us to spend time with our owners, networking and focusing on continuing education while also celebrating wins within our system. Our franchisees are the heart of our network and we are proud to have such fantastic leaders paving the way and setting an outstanding example in their local markets.”
Franchisee of the Year Anthony Duncan was recognized for his commitment to growth. After more than 13 years with the franchise, Duncan has led his markets to significant revenue gains over the past year, the brand said. Additionally, Duncan is consistently engaging with headquarters for coaching, pursuing new growth opportunities and adopting innovative tools that drive operational excellence.
As a model franchisee for the brand, Duncan was among the first to use virtual assistants for task-driven activities and creating personalized social media content, taking an extra step in using diverse strategies for development, the Mosquito Authority said.
“I’m truly honored to receive this award from the Main Line Brands team and deeply grateful for the resources and hands-on support they’ve provided over 13 years,” said Duncan. “As an owner in Virginia, Puerto Rico, and the Colorado market, I know multi-unit entrepreneurship comes with real challenges – but when you’ve got a team that’s relentlessly improving, and a corporate partner that believes in shared responsibility and true collaboration, those challenges turn into opportunities.
Selected from franchisees across the United States and Puerto Rico, the Dents were selected as Rookie of the Year in recognition of their ability to secure clients, retain business and achieve impressive early success across their Northern Michigan territories.
“We greatly appreciate this recognition from the Main Line Brands team as new franchisees,” said Steve Dent. “My team is committed to providing mosquito control solutions that adapt to the unique environment of Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula, keeping residents and commercial spaces in the most beautiful parts of our state mosquito, tick and fly-free. I’m excited to carry this momentum into the coming years as part of a supportive franchise system.”
