Typhaine De Timary joins Avenir Renovations in Leuven, Belgium

Typhaine De Timary opens a new Avenir Renovations agency in Leuven, Belgium. Through this entrepreneurial project, she aims to provide individuals in her area with comprehensive and personalized support to realize their renovation projects.

In this interview, she shares her background, the ambitions that drive her, and the reasons why she chose to join the Avenir Renovations network.

Can you tell us about your professional background?

My career started in event management. I traveled a lot and met people from all walks of life, but I quickly realized that I wanted to be more present for my loved ones. I then chose to pivot towards sales and marketing in the fast-moving consumer goods sector.

I developed solid expertise in sales, marketing, and negotiation there. To continue evolving, I took evening classes and earned a master's degree in international business management. When the promotion I was aiming for slipped away, I took it as an invitation to return to my true passion: project management, once again in event management.

After Covid, I managed to reinvent myself once again by taking charge of the operations of small SMEs, from A to Z: quotes, project launches, budget monitoring, invoicing, recruitment. Juggling all these facets is exactly what motivates me.

Why did you choose to redirect yourself to a different field?

For many years, I managed projects, mostly events. I love this profession: it is varied, fast-paced, and you never get bored. But an event has a limited lifespan, and everything built around it disappears with it.

I have kept the taste for versatility and the constant change of hats, but I wanted to give a more lasting meaning to my work: to build projects that stand the test of time, to support people over the long term, and to see tangible results.

What attracted you to the renovation sector?

Renovation is for me the culmination of 20 years of experience. It brings together everything I know how to do: leading teams, planning a project from A to Z, building trusting relationships with clients, suppliers, and all stakeholders, and finding creative solutions when a constraint arises.

What also touches me is building something concrete. I support my clients in a project they will benefit from for years, which is much more sustainable than setting up and dismantling an event in a week.

Why did you choose to open your business as a franchise?

I have been independent for nearly 10 years. I value that, but I have found myself facing unprecedented situations, with no one to talk to. Joining a franchise is for me the best of both worlds: I remain the leader of my business and free in my choices, while relying on the experience of other franchisees and the support of the network head office.

For my clients, it is also a guarantee: behind my personal commitment, there is proven expertise and a team that shares the same standards.

Why did you select Avenir Renovations as your franchisor?

Several elements were decisive. I was initially attracted by the strength of their strategy and their well-thought-out digital approach. The network has also developed custom tools, such as Devibox and Artibox, which simplify administrative management and planning: it's a real time-saver, and therefore a source of peace of mind, for both my clients and me.

Finally, the concept is remarkably effective: a single point of contact to coordinate all the work. For a client, it guarantees simple, clear, and stress-free follow-up.

And I fully embrace the values of the group.

How did you learn about the Avenir Renovations network?

I discovered the network on LinkedIn through a recruitment ad for franchise leaders. The job description matched everything I love about project management: coordinating, planning, supporting.

What also convinced me is that renovation is a sector where we really need honest and competent professionals. It's a value that is close to my heart, and I am proud to represent it to my clients.

How would you describe the initial training you received?

The initial training answered many of my questions. I have been running a business for several years, but renovation was new territory for me: it provided me with solid foundations and dispelled my last hesitations.

I particularly appreciated discovering Devibox, a tool designed specifically for franchisees. It facilitates daily follow-up, planning, and administration.

Do you think you have all the necessary means to launch your agency?

Yes, and even faster than I imagined. By joining Avenir Renovations, I gained months of preparation: alone, I wouldn't have been able to be operational so quickly. I can rely on the support of the network head and the experience of my fellow franchisees, and that is priceless.

For my clients, this translates into a smooth start: as a new Avenir Renovations franchisee, I rely on proven methods and tools to manage their project seriously from day one.
