Razzamataz offers flexible and rewarding
The world is changing faster than any of us could have imagined. What we have learnt is that we must keep looking forwards, continue to adapt and seize opportunities as and when they arrive.
Last year, multi-award winning Razzamataz Theatre Schools took on 10 new franchisees and this year there are already new franchisees for five new territories.
In February of this year, the company was awarded ‘Best Franchise’ by WorkBuzz and Lloyds Bank in the ‘£2-£10 million turnover’ category, took home the ‘Continuous Improvement’ Award voted for by the company’s own network of franchisees and once again won the ‘5 Star Franchisee Satisfaction’ Award.
We meet some of the inspiring women who have either launched a Razzamataz Theatre School or expanded during the pandemic:
MICHAELA CRUMPTON, RAZZAMATAZ BRISTOL NORTH AND SOUTH
“Taking on the business after lockdown was a huge decision, but surrounding myself with a positive team of staff who I can rely on was a big part of my decision.
“I’ve always valued a good work-life balance and becoming a mum with a horse-mad daughter has made the life side more important. Razzamataz offers the chance to be flexible - I can do the school run and get to the stable to do the mucky jobs and get back home and start my working day.”
THE BENEFITS OF BEING PART OF A FRANCHISE
“If I was out there on my own, I would have failed. I’m terrible with setting myself a timetable, but with a franchise behind you, setting goals and giving you help, it’s been easier to do. Thanks to our founder, Denise, and Charlotte in our head office, we’ve been able to overcome the challenges of reopening and pivoting online.”
ASHA RICHARDSON, RAZZAMATAZ PENRITH
“I launched in the middle of the pandemic, which of course was pretty overwhelming.
“But when I looked at what the other schools in the network were doing, how they pivoted their business online and the amazing testimonials from customers, it gave me a lot of hope.”
THE BENEFITS OF BEING PART OF A FRANCHISE
“Before I took over Razzamataz Penrith, I’d already started investigating other franchises.
What we get in terms of help from Razzamataz is incredible and I know that friends running other theatre school franchises don’t get nearly as much.
“Being part of Razzamataz feels like you’re part of a family who are supporting you to grow, so you’re not on this journey by yourself.”
