In this testimonial, Antonio Allan Viandante (Tony) from Test & Tag Forrestfield describes how joining the Test & Tag franchise transformed his life. After 25 years in a stressful, unhealthy job, he felt exhausted and at his wit's end. Discovering the Test & Tag business and speaking with RJ convinced him to switch. He highlights the extensive new knowledge he gained about the industry, the reassuring, one‑call/one‑email support he receives, and the freedom to work for himself, set his own schedule, and enjoy life again. His wife notes his renewed happiness, and Tony emphasizes the independence and joy the franchise partnership now provides.

My wife actually says that I've got like a new lease of life. I'm smiling again, I'm happy, I'm back to doing stuff that I love. My full name is Antonio Allan Viandante, Test and Tag in Forrestfield. I'm also known as Tony. There's things I never knew about Test and Tag, there's a lot of people don't know about it, so I've learned so many new things that hard to pinpoint one, but there's so many great things I've learned. Knowing the support I'm going to get when I'm one phone call or one email away from getting knowledge of anything I need to know to complete a job successfully is reassuring. Go back a couple of years, I was pretty much well at my wit's end. I was overweight, pretty stressed. It was time to go. It was just a stressful job. When I looked at the test and tag and I started looking at the test and tag of all the companies, the local guys, when I looked at that and read that, it looked so much better. And then after numerous phone calls to RJ, I ended up saying yes. My wife actually says that I've got like a new lease of life. I'm smiling again, I'm happy, I'm back to doing stuff that I love. It was 25 years and it was good to move on. And this is exciting. Looking for independence where I could work for myself, choose when to work and choose when to have fun. This job, from what I know of and what it is, it's given me exactly that.
