Testimonies

Baguette Express

"Employers and franchise owners are keen to recruit people leaving the Armed Forces for a variety of reasons.

In franchising, people are often going into business for the first time and facing challenges which ex-Forces personnel have already met and dealt with – such as people management, time management, logistics, transport and communication.

The discipline of Service life tends to mould people into a mindset in which problems become challenges to be overcome; in which self-reliance and organising skills are the norm; and in which management of people is achieved comfortably and without friction.

Above all, the rigorous training programmes in the Forces provide an innate self-confidence which, allied to invaluable transferable skills, creates individuals who are able to think for themselves and motivate others. Just like franchisees."
Robin Stenhouse, Baguette Express
