If I think of my life as a jigsaw puzzle, Lingotot is the missing final piece!

Reaching a pivotal point in her career, Priya Purryag was looking for a new business opportunity where she could become self-employed while also in a role that she could use her linguistic skills. For this a route into franchising ticked all the boxes. Discovering the Lingotot franchise allowed Priya to have the security of working with a successful business model, run and grow her own business while still using her skills and creativity.

"I was really impressed by the award winning and high quality Lingotot brand and the different revenue streams available for franchisees. What made Lingotot even more appealing was the accredited teacher training qualifications for new franchisees to complete." Learn more about Priya's journey into franchising with Lingotot here...

Franchising in London

Tony Bowman QFP, managing director of etyres and chair of the London regional forum of the British Franchise Association (bfa), talks to us about franchising in the capital city

London is arguably the economic powerhouse of Europe and its influence radiates out across the UK, which is why there are few places better to be involved in franchising.

As chair of the London forum of the British Franchise Association (bfa) it is my role to host the quarterly regional meetings, which bring our members together to share knowledge and provide a lively networking environment.

It is a role I thoroughly enjoy as the members who attend are from a diverse range of businesses, but all share a common bond to ensure their franchise and the industry in general, continues to flourish and grow.

Our region has more leading franchise brands than most others across the country and historically a large number of these industry professionals have regularly attended the quarterly regional meetings, which has made them key events in the franchising calendar.
