Experienced COO, Tom Swift Plans to Relocate Mosquito Squad HQ to Macon, GA for Joint Campus

September 28, 2020 // Franchising.com // RICHMOND, VA - Mosquito Squad, the largest and most trusted mosquito and tick control franchise in North America, has appointed Tom Swift as Chief Operating Officer. In correlation with news of the appointment, Mosquito Squad has also announced the team is working towards establishing a new training system for the brand, which requires relocating the headquarters to Macon, Georgia.

Swift started his entrepreneurial driven career as a franchisee of America’s Swimming Pool Company (ASP), a member of the Authority Brands family. By 2008, Swift joined Stewart Vernon as co-owner and took on the title of COO, where he spent 12 years spearheading operational systems and processes. Swift now looks to implement the same mission and help Mosquito Squad grow their franchise revenue and expand the company’s reach nationally.

“With a track record of success, we have already seen Tom’s capabilities to help grow a brand,” said Rob Weddle, CEO of Authority Brands. “As we look to expand Mosquito Squad, Tom is a key component to take the brand to the next level. Contributing his expertise, he has worked with the team to identify an opportunity for growth by relocating and we are looking forward to taking the next step to enhance the brand.”

Mosquito Squad has been striving towards their goal of establishing World Class Training, World Class Sales and World Class Operational Execution. As first steps towards this goal, the brand is reviewing and revamping training and this starts with where the headquarters is based out of. This development creates a joint America’s Swimming Pool Company / Mosquito Squad Campus in Macon, GA that will serve as the company headquarters. The new building is slated to be complete by the end of 2020. Developing the joint ASP-Mosquito Squad Campus will provide the ability to host joint Meet Your Team Days for prospective franchisees and provide a beautiful campus as the brand revamps their training. In Macon, the campus will allow extensive hands-on training for new and existing franchisees.

“Being part of Authority Brands for several years now, I have been following Mosquito Squad and am so excited to help lead and expand this brand,” said Swift. “We are working to improve our training and found that joining ASP to develop a campus will serve the company well to provide the space for hands-on training for our franchisees. With both ASP and Mosquito Squad being part of the Authority Brands family, it is best for us to utilize our resources where applicable.”
