Williamson Applies More than 30 Years of Experience in Restoration Services
1-800-Packouts, a cleaning and restoration services brand under the Five Star Franchising umbrella, has appointed Tim Williamson vice president of operations. His experience of more than 30 years leading multi-unit service organizations includes founding and scaling Williamson Restoration Inc. and opening and growing a BELFOR Property Restoration branch to more than $38 million.
“I was drawn to 1-800-Packouts because it serves an important market and shares Five Star Franchising’s strong vision and values,” Williamson said. “The brand helps families recover after loss, and I wanted to support franchise owners who do meaningful work while building successful, scalable businesses. I’m most excited to help the brand grow by supporting franchise owners as they gain clarity, consistency and confidence in their operations. I enjoy helping owners build strong teams, improve their finances and create lasting value.”
He said Five Star Franchising gives franchise owners the structure, leadership and resources they need to focus on running their businesses. “By making operations simpler and building systems that can grow, Five Star helps everyone work together and succeed over the long term.”
Stefan Figley, president of 1-800-Packouts, said the brand is in good hands under Williamson’s leadership because of his franchise expertise and operational discipline. “He understands what it takes to grow a restoration business from the ground up and will equip our franchise owners with the systems, structure and support needed to scale with confidence,” Figley said.
Prioritizing Growth
Williamson said clear, effective communication is key to franchise growth. “When expectations are clear, systems are simple and coaching is steady, franchise owners can run their businesses with confidence and grow successfully. What I like most about franchising is helping owners build something bigger than themselves by using proven systems and local ownership to create real growth, stability and wealth.”
