of Plan-it Cards
Alistair Black was awarded the Plan-it Cards franchisee of the year in 2016. He had been in a greetings card sales role for over 25 years, but his motivation for joining Plan-it Cards was very clear – even at interview. He wanted to create something tangible from his experience and efforts in the greeting card industry. To build an asset, an investment, that he could develop, grow, and when the time was right, to sell on in the future.
of Plan-it Cards
Jacky Francis owns and manages the Plan-it Cards franchise in Shropshire, and is the current Plan-it Cards Franchisee of the Year. She had no experience in running her own business when she signed on the dotted line, but she knew a great product when she saw it.

of Walfinch
“Sometimes one meeting can completely change your life,” says Tiffany Meachim, the Managing Director of Walfinch Mansfield, a growing franchised care business. When I was working in a convenience store, aged 18, I never imagined that within 20 years I'd be a business owner delivering valuable services to my community and employing 35 people.”
of Anytime Fitness
Female entrepreneur Sharon Thandi opened her first Anytime Fitness gym earlier this year in what has been a successful return to the world of franchising. Having previously been a franchisee with Dominos, Sharon wanted to pursue her passion of health and wellbeing by starting her own independent food brand.
of Theatretrain
Returning from a teaching secondment in New Zealand, Paul Clark started a teaching position in Theatretrain Northampton. After 2 years he moved to Rugby and again worked at the local Theatretrain where he stayed for 4 years. It was when he moved to Devon and started working at a boarding school that he realised he missed the shows and trips he had organised at Theatretrain. He decided then that his next step was setting up his own theatre school and it made sense that Theatertrain was the ideal choice for him. He set up Theatretrain Exeter in 2017.
of Pitman Training
