The Rawson Property Group was founded in 1982 and is a full service estate agency group operating throughout Southern Africa. With the support of an inspired and enthusiastic team, the Rawson Property Group has entrenched itself as a market leader in residential sales and rentals, auctions, property development and commercial sales and rentals.
In December 2014, the Rawson Property Group walked away with six International Property Awards, namely Best Real Estate Agency Marketing Africa, Best Real Estate Agency Website Africa, Highly Commended Real Estate Agency South Africa, and Highly Commended Residential High-Rise Development South Africa.
The group is primarily involved in the establishment of new businesses, marketing and advertising the brands and operational support to the franchised restaurants. The first Butcher Boys restaurant which opened in 1999 was in Florida Road, Morningside, Durban. The first independently owned and operated franchise was established in Amanzimtoti in 2001. Butcher Boys has since expanded into Umhlanga, Hillcrest and Centurion. The first Franki Bananaz opened its doors in December 2004. This pilot store was opened as a franchise by Guy Cluver. The concept evolved from an extension of the Billy the B.U.M.S brand, and through its own success quickly established itself as a brand. Franki Bananaz has since expanded into Pietermaritzburg, Westville and Centurion. The success of all these restaurants generated a great deal of interest and numerous enquiries were received from potential investors wishing to establish further franchises both within the country and overseas. This together with the obvious popularity of the brands finally persuaded the shareholders to establish a full-time franchising operation as part of the process intended to regularise the existing use of the brands and to extend such use through the appointment of additional franchisees.
