Clockwork Home Services Inc. announced Keresa Richardson will serve as the first franchisee-elected president of Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. Her duties will include continuing to build and protect the brand, while assisting in the profitable growth of the individual franchise members.

Richardson and her husband, J. R., opened their first Benjamin Franklin franchise in 2000 with no employees and no service trucks. They now have 30 employees in their Dallas franchise and a record of successfully servicing over 50,000 customers. The Richardsons also own the Benjamin Franklin franchise in San Antonio, and in April they will open Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in Houston.

“As one of the first franchisees of Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, this has been a thrilling journey,” said Richardson. “I hope that my term as president ushers in many more groundbreaking moments for the brand, and I am honored by the chance to help lead us in that direction.”

Richardson will fulfill her position of brand president for a two-year term, beginning immediately.
