Craig has been a Seal A Fridge franchisee for nearly two decades, carving out a career that combines independence, flexibility, and customer care.

With a background as a butcher and small business owner, Craig was looking for a change from long retail hours when he discovered Seal-A-Fridge. The fit was immediate, offering the chance to work on the road, manage his own time, and build strong client relationships.

Today, Craig runs his franchise with support from his family, balancing hands-on service with a lifestyle that gives him both freedom and stability. From early mornings on the road to quirky customer encounters, he’s built a reputation on honesty, reliability, and attention to detail.
