Meet the team
Melanie Harper - Franchisor
Over the years Melanie has spent extensive time ferrying her three children around to ballet, swimming, cricket, drama, rugby, horse-riding and music lessons.
After driving an elderly relative for over 8 years and driving tourists for another organisation, Melanie had a dream of starting her own companion driving service. She decided to launch her own Driving Miss Daisy business in Hawke's Bay in order to develop a successful franchise model to roll out nationwide.
Melanie’s passion is now supporting the growing network of New Zealand franchisees and she works closely with husband Jack to further develop the business.
Jack Harper - Franchisor
Jack comes from a finance background and has spent many years building his own sharebroking, financial planning and business consultancy companies. Jack is very involved in setting business strategy for Driving Miss Daisy and works closely with Melanie to develop and run Driving Miss Daisy NZ Ltd.
In his spare time Jack enjoys sport, and together with Melanie they have three children and two dogs.
