In the wake of his father’s passing, Justin Gordon stands at the helm of Amramp, a franchise that has championed accessibility through its modular ramp systems. As he reflects on the first Father’s Day without his mentor and founder, Julian Gordon, memories flood in of lessons steeped in compassion and integrity.
Father and son have experienced the business as a journey—one marked by cuts and bruises as they navigated the choppy waters of their family dynamic. Yet, through the everyday challenges, Justin recalls how those moments morphed into golden lessons. “Working with my pops was like attending a masterclass in life,” he admits. To lose his father in May 2024 has only fueled his desire to spread that legacy of accessibility and humility.
Amramp's mission is straightforward: empower individuals and unlock homes with safe wheelchair ramps and accessibility solutions. The market is ripe, as statistics show the aging demographic in the U.S. necessitating such vital installations. The company’s vibrant history encompasses a shift from steel fabrication to addressing societal needs, a pivot spurred by Julian’s vision of inclusivity.
Franchising under the ethos of a ‘franchisee-first’ mantra wasn’t just a business tactic for Julian—it was a value system. Justin recalls his father’s determination to turn franchising into a human-centered operation, even enlisting a lawyer specialized in the pitfalls of franchising to sculpt their approach. He took pains to ensure franchisees are treated like partners, and that principle pulsates through Amramp today.
