Big Rewards for UK Top Franchisees
Posted on: 07/05/2008
The British Franchise Association has launched its Franchisee of the Year Awards, sponsored by HSBC Bank and Express Newspapers, to recognise top performers from an industry worth £12.4bn.
"The franchise sector is home to some of the UK’s most well known brands and HSBC is proud to have been supporting this booming industry for more than 20 years," said Cathryn Hayes, the bank’s head of franchising.
Brian Smart, director general of the bfa, said: "This year we are looking for examples of the franchise model that demonstrate the fusion of a franchisor driven to build and support a network, and franchisees who are committed to developing their own business."
Winners will be announced at a gala dinner during National Franchise Week (dates) at the International Convention Centre (ICC) in Birmingham, on October 2. The overall winner will win the top prize of £5,000, with two runners-up winning £3,000 and £2,000 respectively.
Meanwhile, the Kent Messenger Group is staging its third annual Kent Franchise Exhibition on September 12 and 13 at the County Showground, Detling. It will run alongside the Start and Grow Your Own Business show.
