Some of the best franchisees in the UK have been honoured in one of the industry’s most prestigious awards, the Great British Franchisee Awards.
The recipients of a coveted Great British Franchisee Award from whichfranchise.com include franchisees of a dessert shop, domestic cleaning company, theatre school, care agency, lawn care, amongst others.
“These are the only awards dedicated entirely to franchisees, and those business owners are, of course, the lifeblood of the industry,” says Johnny Sellyn, the founder of awards organiser whichfranchise.com.
“There are thousands of great franchisees in the UK, but our group of winners stand out for the passion, commitment and hard work they put into running their franchise business.”
The coveted awards, now in their third year, celebrate business success and reflect the winners’ achievements in customer satisfaction and growth, and, in many cases, how the business owners coped during the pandemic.
"The calibre of candidates this year was outstanding. It is exciting to be able to recognise and award the hard work and passion of each franchisee, who are all shining examples of franchising at its best! Each was a worthy winner of a Great British Franchisee Award." says Suzanne Melville, Head of Marketing, whichfranchise.
