My TAB Franchise Story: Mark Kane
of The Alternative Board
Mark Kane had always wanted to work for himself and the idea of being in control of his own destiny and schedule was a big draw. It was also important for him to find a role that suited the lifestyle he wanted i.e. less commuting, less office based and more suited to his family and he saw that a TAB franchise could deliver that.
Opening a franchise during a pandemic and finding success
Franchisee Lorena Gimenez and Mario Minuesa of TRIB3
Lorena Gimenez and Mario Minuesa both come a background in the fitness industry and so wanted to open a business within this sector. Wanting something different, special and unique, they were immediately drawn to TRIB3.

Why experienced Franchise Partners decide to stay with Platinum
Franchisee Nick and Gré Duthie of Platinum Property Partners
More than six years ago, Nick and Gré joined Platinum to securely replace their income from a successful career in banking.

Not UK-based? No problem. Build a profitable property portfolio from overseas
Franchisee Simon Clarke of Platinum Property Partners
It was almost a decade ago that Simon Clarke first heard of Platinum Property Partners but being based between Sydney and Kuala Lumpur meant it wasn’t possible to join the franchise at the time. He was disappointed and desperately wanted to escape the corporate life of banking, so turned to investing in fitness clubs, which he still owns in Australia and Malaysia. However, the pull of Platinum remained.

Interview with Kiefer Driscoll, Football Fun Factory franchisee for West Cambridgeshire
Franchisee Kiefer Driscoll of Football Fun Factory
Since joining the Football Fun Factory as a franchisee I have enjoyed the opportunity to work close to home, set my own schedule and spend time with my girlfriend, family and friends. The Football Fun Factory 'gave me my life back’ having previously been exhausted by an unsustainable schedule in previous employment. Being a franchisee at the Football Fun Factory allows me to bring truly unique and incredible experiences to children in my community and create memories that last a lifetime. As a passionate and enthusiastic football coaching I find this incredibly rewarding.
The collaborative nature of the Business Doctors' network really appealed to me.

A day in the life of a Footlights franchisee
Franchisee Anna Morgan of Footlights
Anna Morgan, Director of Footlights Sale, gives an insight into her Saturday morning routine. My Saturday mornings usually begin around 8.45am; I arrive 45 minutes before the start of our first class to set up and make sure all rooms are ready for the students. It is important to me that our reception area looks welcoming and professional, to make that good first impression to free trials and existing students.
Multi-unit franchisee is celebrating 10 years with First Class Learning
Franchisee Emma Orton of First Class Learning
Emma Orton joined First Class Learning in 2011 as franchisee for Darlington. Her career has spanned almost 20 years in education including completing her teacher training and Masters in Education. However, when expecting her first child, Emma decided that whilst she didn’t want to give up teaching, she needed a career that would work around her family life. After much research, Emma decided upon First Class Learning as it would allow her to continue working in the education sector, whilst working from home and setting her own hours. In March 2013, Emma had taken over developing centres in Sunderland and South Shields and in September 2017, she opened her fourth centre in Redcar.
Taking control over your future with Metro Plumb
Franchisee Gary Swan of Metro Plumb
Gary Swan is a plumber by trade but wanting to become more than a jobbing plumber where he relied on being sub-contracted to others for work, he began to research opportunities that gave him more structure, stability, long-term planning and control over his work. This led him to franchising and after researching the opportunities available, he was keen to find out more about Metro Plumb. His decision to join Metro Plumb has paid off in the past year. Whilst many self-employed plumbers have become victims to the Covid pandemic, Metro Plumb Kent has seen an increase in business due to the robust franchise model and key accounts the company has. Gary is looking forward to his future with Metro Plumb.
