Top 10 Most Anticipated Films of 2020

Now I’ve got my embarrassingly late ‘Best of 2019′ list out of the way, I can finally proceed to the list that’s probably more exciting - my most anticipated films of 2020!

This list excludes films that have already been screened at festivals (otherwise, stuff like Saint Maud would be here). It’s also somewhat analogous to groping about for a light switch in the dark - these lists very rarely accurately predict my ultimate favourites for the year, so it’s more of a fun speculative exercise. Hopefully this puts some intriguing-looking films on your radar for the year ahead! 

1. Dune (dir. Denis Villeneuve)

Plot: The story of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet), a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people.

Why be excited? The reasons to be excited about Dune should be pretty self-evident - it’s directed by one of the greatest filmmakers working today (Villeneuve’s Incendies and Blade Runner 2049 are all-timers for me), and is based on one of the best science-fiction novels ever written. The cast -  Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Javier Bardem, Charlotte Rampling, and more - is absolutely stacked with talent. There’s every reason to believe that this will be something special, and I couldn’t be more pleased that Villeneuve is the man responsible for filling that Star Wars-shaped hole in the December release schedule.

2. Annette (dir. Leos Carax)

Plot: A stand-up comedian (Adam Driver), and his opera singer wife (Marion Cotillard), have a two-year-old daughter with a surprising gift.

Why be excited? You may not have heard of him, but Leos Carax is one of the most exciting directors working - he only makes around one film a decade, but the films he does make tend to be very special. I’ve only seen one film of his - Lovers on the Bridge - but that was filled with such ecstatic romance and wondrous visuals that it made me tremendously excited for Annette. Annette is a top-to-bottom musical with songs by American duo Sparks (if you know them for anything, it will be ‘This Town Ain’t Big Enough for the Both of Us’), and said songs will be delivered by Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard. It goes without saying that both actors are extremely talented performers with great voices (see Driver in Marriage Story and Cotillard in Nine for evidence), and I’m looking forward to seeing how they demonstrate their talents here.

3. Last Night in Solo (dir. Edgar Wright)

Plot: A young girl (Thomasin McKenzie), passionate in fashion design, is mysteriously able to enter the 1960s where she encounters her idol, a dazzling wannabe singer (Anya Taylor-Joy). But 1960s London is not what it seems, and time seems to fall apart with shady consequences.

Why be excited? I’m not the biggest Edgar Wright fan, but I admire him greatly and the premise of Last Night in Soho is like cat-nip to me. Speaking to Empire, Wright explained the story as follows: “I’m taking a premise whereby you have a character who, in a sort of abstract way, gets to travel in time. And the reality of the decade is maybe not what she imagines. It has an element of ‘be careful what you wish for’.” I’m a sucker for a good, old-fashioned high concept, especially when said films play with genre and really challenge the viewer. The two female leads - Thomasin McKenzie (JoJo Rabbit, Leave No Trace) and Anya Taylor-Joy (The Witch, Emma) - are among the very best young actors working today, and the supporting cast features absolute legends such as Diana Rigg and Terence Stamp. Whether it’s successful or not, this film feels like a genuinely original prospect and I’m eager to see how it turns out.

4. The Green Knight (dir. David Lowery)

Plot: A fantasy re-telling of the medieval tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.

Why be excited? There has been a sad lack of films based on mythology in recent years - or, to be more accurate, there has been a sad lack of films that attempt to honour what the myths were actually trying to convey. The stunning trailer for Green Knight promises a film that genuinely engages with its source material, and is just as interested in the psychological truths of the tale as the spectacle of its fantastical scenarios. Dev Patel is an extremely talented actor coming off another great movie in The Personal History of David Copperfield, and the supporting cast (Alicia Vikander!) appear to be fully committed to their parts. I’m excited to see a true myth on the big screen again, and David Lowery (A Ghost Story, The Old Man & The Gun) can be trusted to give an old tale a new sense of vitality. 

5. The French Dispatch (dir. Wes Anderson)

Plot: The staff of a European publication decides to publish a memorial edition highlighting the three best stories from the last decade: an artist sentenced to life imprisonment, student riots, and a kidnapping resolved by a chef.

Why be excited? It’s a Wes Anderson movie! Of course I’m excited! In all seriousness, the trailer was all I needed to get hyped about this. It’s clearly Anderson’s quintessential style, but it also shows flashes of some very bold and striking compositions (yes, I’m thinking of Chalamet on the back of that motorcycle) that you wouldn’t necessarily think of in relation to him. I’m intrigued by the prospect of there being stories nested within a story, which feels like the perfect choice for the structure of a film about a newspaper. The cast features all of Anderson’s old favourites (Swinton! Murray! McDormand!), as well as some exciting new additions (Timothée Chalamet, Elisabeth Moss, Christoph Waltz, among others) that feel so well-suited to his style it’s surprising they haven’t worked together before. Bring on all those immaculately composed shots and exquisite colour palettes.

6. Tenet (dir. Christopher Nolan)

Plot: Unknown. The project is described as an action epic revolving around international espionage.

Why be excited? I hate to sound repetitive, but ... it’s a Christopher Nolan movie. That alone is enough to be hyped about this. Details of the plot are vague for now, but the teaser suggests the sort of intelligent, high-concept film-making we’ve come to expect from Nolan. John David Washington - who impressed in BlacKkKlansman - is a great choice for the lead, and I also love that Tenet will feature Robert Pattinson and Elizabeth Debicki (among my favourite actors) in prominent roles. There’s not much else to say given how little we know about this, but suffice to say I’ll be there on day one!

7. Wonder Woman 1984 (dir. Patty Jenkins)

Plot: Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) comes into conflict with the Soviet Union during the Cold War in the 1980s and finds a formidable foe by the name of the Cheetah (Kristen Wiig).

Why be excited? The original Wonder Woman was an absolute delight, and I couldn’t be more pleased that Patty Jenkins is back to continue Diana’s story. The decision to pick up with Diana in the 1980s is most intriguing (and paves the way for all kinds of exciting choices when it comes to the music and the fashions), especially since it looks like the film is actually going to explore the implications of being an immortal being in a mortal world. 

8. Raya and the Last Dragon (dir. Paul Briggs and Dean Wellins)

Plot: A lone warrior from the fantasy kingdom of Kumandra teams up with a crew of misfits in her quest to find the Last Dragon and bring light and unity back to their world.

Why be excited? The animation scene in 2020 looks kind of ... blah at the moment, with the notable exception of Raya and the Last Dragon. The setting was described by the film’s producer as  "a reimagined Earth inhabited by an ancient civilization that venerated the mythical dragons for their power and their wisdom”, and that alone is enough to fire up my imagination. Off the back of Moana and the Frozen films (which I all unabashedly love), I trust Disney Animation to instil this with plenty of colour and verve.

9. I’m Thinking of Ending Things (dir. Charlie Kaufman)

Plot: An unexpected detour turns a couple’s road trip into a terrifying journey through their fragile psyches.

Why be excited? Directed by Charlie Kaufman (writer of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), I’m Thinking of Ending Things is based on a prize-winning novel. However, despite the pedigree the main reason I’m looking forward to this is Jessie Buckley. Buckley gave a star-making performance in Beast a few years ago, and has since proven herself an actor of immense talent and skill (see Wild Rose for proof of what a powerhouse she is). I’m excited to see her career continue to go from strength to strength, and I’m Thinking of Ending Things seems poised to be a great showcase for her.

10. The Last Duel (dir. Ridley Scott)

Plot: King Charles VI declares that Knight Jean de Carrouges (Matt Damon) settle his dispute with his squire (Adam Driver) by challenging him to a duel.

Why be excited? Ridley Scott is a bit of a mixed bag for me, and has never come close to reaching the heights of Alien and Blade Runner with his recent work. Nonetheless, against my better judgement I can’t help but be excited by the prospect of a medieval epic with Scott at the helm. The acting talent attached to The Last Duel is top-notch, and I’m particularly fond of Jodie Comer (of Killing Eve fame) and Adam Driver (do you really need me to say more?). There’s a very real danger of the highly sensitive plot (the ‘dispute’ at the heart of the story concerns an accusation of rape, the truth of which is to be determined with a duel) being mishandled by Scott, but the involvement of screenwriter Nicole Holofcener gives me some hope. This could turn out to be a misfire, but my hope is that it will, at the very least, be interesting.

Carry On My Wayward Daughter

(What happened to Stephanie Brown’s Baby) (Felicity Smoak Fanfiction)

Stephanie Brown: Spoiler/Batgir6/Robin#4 Submitted to: DC.Comics August 11,1992 Mothers Name: Crystal Brown                                                                                                                                 Fathers Name: Arthur Brown (Cluemaster)                 Daughter: Un-named                                                                                               

                  Growing up Stephanie had a hard family life that consisted with  her mother being addicted to pain killers and being in a depressed state constantly, her father "The Cluemaster" spent most of his life in jail. Stephanie's mother sided with her father with everything even his criminal activities. During this time Stephanie had a friend that was eight years older than her and she would go stay with her when things weren't going well in her home. This person was someone that Stephanie trusted with everything and anything. She was like a mother figure to her more so than her own mother. Stephanie had kept their friendship a secret from everyone so she wouldn't get hurt by anyone involved with her father. Her friends name was Dana Stokes.Stephanie was ashamed of her father's criminal activities and lived with the shame of having a criminal as a father. This fact  made her family life terminal. 

      Stephanie created a suit her self and named it "Spoiler" to keep him in jail. Stephanie started to wear her suit and patrolled Gotham City at a young age of fourteen. In the midst of her patrolling she met Robin, Tim Drake, also the sidekick of Batman. Stephanie at this time did not know the true identity of Robin. Batman didn't like the idea of her being in this dangerous environment and told her to put the suit up he thought she was to young.

       Stephanie made the decision of not to listen to Batman. Though the many times of seeing Robin during her patrols she began to have feelings for him. Robin and Stephanie went to the same school without realizing who they were. Since Robin's father felt like he was not taking care of his responsibilities, he sent him to a private school outside of Gotham City. While away from Gotham Robin met a girl named Adrian and eventually she became his girlfriend. After long period of time he came back to Gotham but with Adrian by his side; this made Stephanie very jealous. But after seeing Stephanie back in Gotham  their relationship rekindling. Robin told Stephanie his true idenity as Tim Drake and Stephanie told Robin her's as well. Which led Tim to breaking up with Adrian and dating Stephanie.

    Through their relationship Tim would leave Stephanie for periods of time to go back to school. Tim's hectic schedule had made Stephanie upset. During one of the periods while Tim was gone Stephanie had met a guy named Dean (last name unknown) at school. During this time Stephanie was fifteen years old. Though her feelings for Tim were present she did'nt know if he was going to return so she started dating Dean. After the Catactlysm that revolved around Gotham City Dean left never to be seen again. Although after he left Stephanie found out she was pregnant with Deans baby. Since Dean wasnt present for her to tell him she decided to tell Tim of her pregnancy, she needed a friend and at this time Tim was back in Gotham. (some people say that the baby was Tim's but that was never proven).

    Stephanie confiding in Tim that she was pregnant with her former boyfriends baby. Tim made a promise to be by her side through her pregnacy. He would do anything a father would do.Although Stephanie was very excited to have her baby and to have Tim by her side she never gave much thought to what her life as Spolier and what the outcome for her baby would be. During the time of her pregnancy she stayed with Dana Stokes because she didnt feel her family should know about her baby because of their criminal activities and the possible effects it would have on her child.As her pregnancy was coming to a close Tim had to leave for a while and this made Stephanie uneasy. On the day of July the 24th 1991 Stephanie had gone into labor; worried that Tim wasnt going to be by her side he showed up much to her surprise. Tim stayed by her bedside though the entire delivery as did Batman. On this day Stephanie has given birth to a baby girl. She was very overjoyed with her new baby.

    That night Stephanie had a dream that her baby was in danger of being taken by villians. To Stephanie's dismay and fear for her baby's life she decided to give her baby up for adoption which came with a very broken heart. This was very hard for a girl at the age of sixteen to give up something so precious, but she thought her baby girl could have a much better life than the one Stephanie could give her. As she explained her plan to give her baby up for adroption Tim agreed to her decision he supported her.Stephanie had made a decision that she didnt want her baby to be adopted from someone she didnt know. Her choice was her most trusted friend, Dana Stokes, to give her baby to her. She ask Dana to come see her at the Hospital also ask Batman to be there as well.Stephanie asked Dana if she would take her baby as her own she explained it would involve many life changes. Dana's answer was yes and she said "I love you like my own daughter. I would be more than happy to take care of your child. I will consider her as my own as i do you." Dana Stokes      Stephanies reasoning to have Batman there was because he has many resources to create a new identity for Dana and the baby and Batman agreed.Stephanie had told Dana "I don't want to know your new identity, where you will live, after you leave here the baby is yours. She is your daughter because i dont want her to be in danger I want her to have a better life. Batman helped Dana with her new identity. Her new name became Donna Smoak the baby's name became Felicity Megan Smoak. Donna had taken Felicity to Las Vegas, Navada. Batman is the only one who knows their wherabouts, because he had promised Stephanie that her baby would not want for anything. He would always make sure her baby was happy and safe.

     Donna went to work as a Cocktaill Waittress at one of the Cosino's. When Felicity was two years old Donna met a man by the name of Noah Kuttler. He was very inteligent in Computer Science Cyborg Security and Hacker you might call him a genius. Him and Donna fell in love and he fell in love with Felicity took her and loved her as his own. Noah taught Felicity everything he could about Computer's at an early age. Things started getting bad between Donna and Noah. They  disagreed on the fact that he was now useing his Computer skills to be a criminal. Donna thought long and hard about how Stephanie gave up her daughter to keep her safe. Donna also loved Felicity to much to bring her up in this. So when Felicity was at the age of seven Donna left Noah and her and Felicity were on thier own again.After some time Felicity has finished High School at the early age of sixteen.Felicity made a decision that she didnt want to spend her life as a Cocktail Waitress she wanted more out of life.With so much knowledge in Technolgy; she decided to attend MIT. Felicity graduated from MIT at the age of nineteen with a Master Degree in Computer Sciences and Cyborg Securitys she was also a fluent Hacktivist.

      Felicity went to work for Queen Consolidated in the I.T. Department at the age of 20 years old. Being her nosey little self when Felicity had to take paper work to Moria Queen's office she would look at the picture of Oliver Queen. Felicity talking to her self about how cute he was but knowing that Oliver Queen had been in a shipwreck and never found. The only thing is not knowing Oliver had been stranded on an island and was there watching her as he had to get infomation for Amanda Waller. Felicity brought a smile to Oliver's face that day and he didnt get to many of those.Later on Oliver Queen was found and came back to Starling to honor his father's wishes to save the City.

     He became the Hood a vigilante he found out in his endeavors he couldnt do this alone he needed help.Oliver recruited Jhon Diggle his Driver and Bodyguard. Sometime after that he needed help with a Lap Top he took off Deadshot a vilian. He thought about that the IT girl he saw in Moria's office he went to Felicity and she helped him. After many times of asking for help and the trust Oliver had for Felicity he also recruited her to his team. This was the begining of as we know the OTA. After all this time Oliver is now the Green Arrow after working together for 4 years the trust, respect,and admiration becoming a couple and yes love and even engagement. Oliver and Felicity are no longer this couple that we all loved. Because of the lost trust and the lies a love story like no other is over.

      During all these years of fighting and working behind that Computer Felicity is starting to feel the affects of some big decisions she had to make that caused the death of 10,000 people. Lost loves all this in the hands of Damien Darke. His shooting that caused her paralysis the killing of her friend Laurel Lance (aka Black Canary). And really a part of her breakup with Oliver. Felicity would never leave Oliver to fight this war alone. Now a new year has started and thier fighting a new villian he are she goes by the name Prometheus

    This villian has caused so much pain to her teamates and her. By staging Dective Malone a man she had been dateing so Oliver would kill him. The thing is Felicity wants revenge on Prometheus for what he has done to Oliver, Malone her teamates and herself. She doesnt blame Oliver for Malone's death I dont believe Felicity loved Malone but I think she did care for him.I believe she still loves Oliver very much and will always no one will ever replace him in her heart.

      Felicity has never been told the truth about her real mother Stephanie Brown . But you can see trates of Stephanie in Felicity not just she looks exactly like her. But her wanting and needing to save the City and the people in it.Stephanie Brown has been injured very badly by the hands of Black Mask. With Batman by her bedside Stephanie asked him if he would find her child and give her the Mantle of Spoiler the only thing she has for her daughter is her Legacy. Batman vowed to her he would do this and he would always be there for her child. Sometime in late October 2016 Stephanie Brown dies at the age of 41.

     Now Batman has to keep his promise to Stephanie to give Felicity the Mantle of Spoiler. Batman knows exactly where Felicity is and knows she has been working with the Green Arrow. To protect the people of now Star City Batman could not be more proud of Felicity he knows she deserves the Mantle of Spoiler.

     He is also considering the Batgirl Mantle that would make her Batgirl#7.  If she wants this Mantle it is hers and it will draw her away from Team Arrow .This being the reason to train mentally and physically and it may cause her to do some things that are Morally Questionable. Because Felicity is still Hell bound on making Prometheus pay for what he did to Oliver and Billy. I believe she is Spoiler I also believe she is Batgirl#7.Felicity will still feel like Donna is her mother and Noah is her father with no regret. Stephanie made the wright decision that day. The life that Donna made for Felicity has made her into the person we all know. So this is what happen to Stephanie's baby. Felicity Smoak we always knew there was something missing about her back story.

Re-celebrate "Draft and Develop"!

Remember when we Packers fans used to celebrate the draft and develop process as an amazing system that would continuously keep our team young and full of back-ups capable of filling in for injured starters? Of course, we had the 2010 season in mind when the large handful of injured players happened to be replaceable and the season ended with a championship. Since then, the draft and develop strategy has not produced a fifth Lombardi trophy and many fans have fallen out of love with what they thought was a fail-proof scheme. This skepticism is mostly based on result without thorough consideration of the various circumstances of subsequent seasons and the ever changing face of the NFL. I think fans put too much stock in the draft itself. On Packers teams in the past few years, there are several reflections we should make that give more credence to the value of development. These reflections include current players who have clearly developed and players set to take the next jump in 2017.

  Current players that have shown a clearly developed status include (among others) Micah Hyde, Lane Taylor, David Bakhtiari, Jordy Nelson, Mike Daniels, Davante Adams, and even Aaron Rodgers.

  Ted Thompson did a strange thing on draft day in 2005. He used a first round pick on a quarterback, despite Brett Favre still performing well. But Ted knew the pick was about development as much as draft. In 2007 against the Cowboys, my friend Jim and I watched the Packers insert a developing Rodgers after a Favre injury. We lost the game, but after seeing Rodgers’ performance both Jim and I agreed that we weren’t worried about the future at quarterback. You know how that turned out.

  Jordy Nelson was a second round pick in 2008. As a rookie, he played behind Donald Driver and Greg Jennings. By his third year (2010), he had only 45 catches for less than 600 yards and two touchdowns. Despite those pedestrian numbers, we saw him take leaps in the playoffs culminating in a major performance in Super Bowl XLV. Jordy developed into the great receiver that he is just as Driver was entering his decline. In contrast to fan criticism, Davante Adams has developed much faster than Jordy. Last season was Adams’ third campaign, and we were treated to 997 yards and 12 touchdowns. Complainers will point out that he could have had 14 touchdowns and over 1000 yards had he been better in the Bears game at Soldier Field, but that’s too harsh. With Davante, we have a strong #2 or #3 receiver who has become a trusted target for Rodgers.

  Along the offensive line, David Bakhtiari and Lane Taylor have solidified Green Bay’s blindside for the league’s best quarterback. Bakhtiari was a 4th rounder out of Colorado, which perennially won only a game or two per season. Taylor was undrafted and inserted into the Packers’ line-up in place of a Pro Bowl left guard. Do we hear enough praise for our O-line that only touts one 1st round draft pick in Bryan Bulaga? I don’t think so. Dallas has invested high draft picks and has reaped the benefits. Seattle and Minnesota are roundly criticized for doing a poor job in investing enough protection for their quarterbacks. Green Bay hasn’t had to spend high picks in creating a top-3 line. I believe this comes from their development system. Green Bay has been able to create what 75% of the league can’t even draft using top draft picks.

Our defense has been a sore spot for several years now. There’s no getting around their failures in the 2014 and 2016 NFC championship games. If TT is relying on top round picks and the improvement of existing young players to get us to the Super Bowl, I don’t think anyone sees how he can be confident in that hope. Nevertheless, there are examples of rather astounding development in recent seasons. Although he has recently departed for the Buffalo Bills and never made a Pro Bowl, Micah Hyde matured from a fifth round pick into a clutch player in several contests last year. Recall the 2013 playoff game against the 49ers during Hyde’s rookie season. On San Francisco’s last drive, Hyde had a very catchable Kaepernick throw in his hands but couldn’t hang on. With that interception, we would have almost certainly avenged the previous season’s embarrassment. It’s a different story now. A few months ago, our 10 year-old son asked me whether Hyde’s one-handed, back-handed pick against the Vikings or his jumping of Dak Prescott’s bubble screen in January was a more impressive interception. The fact that Hyde could make both of those plays is pretty great. I told him that I found it interesting that the catch against the Vikings was made with his body while the Dallas pick was basically made with his mind. A player that can finish an interception as well as read a quick pattern has proven his development. There will be times these next few seasons that the Packers will miss Micah Hyde.

Thankfully, another mid-round defender is firmly in Green Bay for the next several seasons. Mike Daniels, a compensatory fourth rounder in 2012, is a feared specimen and a rare gem as a frontline monster on a 3-4 defense. Opposing teams have long since stopped overlooking the undersized defensive end and have had to game plan away from him. Daniels has taken modest early years and added a fiery passion that he backs up on a weekly basis. As much as we fans found the D-line’s early dominance against the run last year, we should not doubt that Daniels can lead the front line to greater feats in 2017.

  During this coming season the Packers will look for all players to take the next jump, and I believe there are a few guys we should give our attention to. Safety Kentrell Brice was a pleasant surprise during the second half of last season (26 tackles). He has two great mentors in Morgan Burnett and Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix, and his willingness to lay the wood on opposing receivers and backs should provide enough support to allow Burnett to continue his own development as a safety-linebacker hybrid. Brice will have to improve his coverage skills. Linebacker Kyler Fackrell’s sophomore season includes finding ways to fill the giant shoes of the departed Julius Peppers. Obviously he will not rise to the future hall-of-famer’s production by next fall. But if the Packers don’t re-sign Datone Jones and look to the draft for outside linebacker help, Fackrell (18 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 forced fumble) must develop either a more consistent pass rush or a knack for setting the edge. If both Kenny Clark (21 tackles, 4 hurries) and Dean Lowry (8 tackles, 2 sacks) can multiple their early successes up front, then the Mike Daniels-led infantry should be a feared set of run stoppers and pass rushers. If you get a chance, find footage of Kenny Clark sniffing out a Zeke Elliot screen pass in the playoffs. He releases off the line beautifully with great anticipation and drops him for a two-yard loss. On the offense, it was a rare treat to see undrafted rookie Geronimo Allison have a trusted relationship with Aaron Rodgers that showed itself with key catches and a couple of touchdowns on only a dozen receptions. Allison is lanky and fairly sure-handed. I’d like to see him develop a sideline presence akin to Jordy.

  So during this offseason, we’ve seen Ted Thompson use free agency in ways that Packers fans never seem to understand and once again treat draft information as though it’s the Manhattan Project. Despite all of that, let’s remember that 8 consecutive playoff appearances is a very uncommon occurrence. Many NFL fans call us spoiled, and they are right. Just remember that our spoiled status comes from unexpected developments in players that most unspoiled teams never foresaw.

Fibrenew Eyes the Australian Market with a Local Driving Expansion

A career as an accountant and expert in finding value for his clients, led Dean Carroll to what he calls the "opportunity of a lifetime", to launch an international success story, Fibrenew, into the Australian market.

By Glenn Walford

With an experienced and highly committed new Australian Master Franchisee, Fibrenew has its sights firmly set on expansion in the marketplace. This month the company welcomed Dean Carroll on board to spearhead expansion here.

After reporting he had been looking at expansion in Australia for some time, Jesse Johnstone, VP Technology & Marketing, recently announced Dean's commencement. According to Mr. Johnstone, "The missing component was a well- suited local team to lead that charge. We know we have found an exceptional Australian partner in Dean Carroll and we're very excited to grow Fibrenew across the country with him."

Fibrenew specializes in the repair, restoration and renewal of leather, plastics, vinyl, fabric and upholstery within six major markets;

Automotive

Commercial

Marine

Aviation

Medical

Residential

Fresh from several weeks of intense and thorough training in the global headquarters in Carlgary, Canada. Mr Carroll is now on the ground commencing Fibrenew's expansion in the Australian market. With Technical Manager, Luis Moraga, who joined him in Calgary, they are" ...ready to build on the culture of true collaboration and support to achieve the goals and dreams of people who want to get into a proven business, with unrivalled products and services."

Backed by his diverse business experience, from running small to medium sized printing and home improvements type business, as well as his accounting and consulting background, he often became" ... the most knowledgeable person at board level to connect information to opportunities."

This strong pedigree for spotting and growing a good business according to Mr Carroll, was what initially attracted him to Fibrenew after coming across it in an advertisement online. In the lead up to this, he was consulting with varying clients on business acquisitions and valuations, when this opportunity literally jumped out at him.

"After looking closer at the business when I got a bit more information, I could see the business was clearly working in New Zealand, but hadn't quite had the person to get fully behind it in the Australian market. I also went over to NZ and spent some time with the Master Franchisee there, and I was really impressed - people were happy and successful."

"This is an amazing business model that I describe as a win-win. A win for our customers here who can repair, not replace, all types of furniture and items now, which of course saves a significant amount of money. A win for anyone wanting to get into a mobile business model like this with products, support and training all in place to help you succeed. And lastly of course, a win for Fibrenew International on the whole as we grow the brand globally,"

When it comes to the necessary training to run a mobile Fibrenew business. "Everything you need to know in the business - we train you in it!" New franchise owners also get to absorb themselves in the business and learning all the skills and techniques in a thorough, two-week training course in Calgary, Canada as well.

Proving Value to Customers

Getting the end-user customer level offer right, according to Mr Carroll, is what is going to set the brand up for success in Australia, just as it has globally before now. The key driver he explains, is simple, in the replacement cost v repair cost equation.

"If you repair a seat in a private jet for example, compared to the replacement cost, the difference is enormous, and this is the real value that we can give to the marketplace - the return on investment (ROI) calculation of replacing compared to repair. This value builds even further (as a Fibrenew franchisee) as we repair across a board range of industries and item types.

In basic numbers, if you can increase the life of a chair (in a car, hotel, plane etc) from 5 years to 10 years, that is a real saving to the business or that individual - a great ROI. You can certainly build a business around providing that sort of value proposition!"

When asked about what excited him most about the Fibrenew business, Mr Carroll goes further, explaining that "It's such a great fir, and the business ticks so many boxes. It has a unique range of products and services unlike anything else in the world that I have seen. I looked at so many other franchises and frankly, they just bored me. This is a new concept for Australia that has been successful throughout the world - Australia needs this in my view."

"After experiencing the family-like lever of support, training, and desire for me to succeed, I believe in this business so much and can't wait to work closely with our local and international team to grow the business into a global powerhouse for the Fibrenew brand. I am in this 100%, and live and breathe growing this business in Australia."

Fibrenew International is pleased to announce our new Master Franchisee in Australia, Mr. Dean Carroll. Dean comes from a background in accounting and will now head Fibrenew’s operations in Australia from his office in the Melbourne area.

Fibrenew has exceptional franchise opportunities available throughout Australia. For more information, please contact us at 1.300.954.812 or info@fibrenew.com.au. We look forward to speaking with you!
