Leading automotive tools supplier Mac Tools has gained British Franchise Association accreditation and unveiled plans to recruit new franchisees across the UK. 

 

This recruitment drive will build on the 110 strong franchisees already in place who sell a range of tools to garage mechanics from a fleet of Mac vans.   It follows a recent business restructure by parent Stanley Works, the $4 billion global organisation and owner of the world famous Stanley brand. Key developments include launching a completely new franchise model, the appointment of a new support team, negotiating beneficial business partnerships and unveiling a range of new tools, equipment and storage systems.

 

David Osborne, Marketing Director for Mac Tools, said: “Securing bfa accreditation is a fantastic accolade and reinforces our position in the franchise market. The building blocks are in place and we look forward to moving up a gear in our recruitment drive to find new franchisees that are looking for an exciting opportunity to invest in a financially strong and healthy business with a market leading reputation.”

 

Tom Endean from the British Franchise Association said: “The bfa only allows franchise companies into membership who have passed an in-depth accreditation process; ensuring that they are offering a sustainable, well structured and ethical franchise opportunity. To hold this standard based membership, Mac Tools is welcomed alongside some of the best in franchising. Despite tough trading conditions, franchising continues to demonstrate its tenacity and ability to succeed – continuing to provide many new futures for people looking to take control of their lives and succeed professionally, financially and personally.”
