The British Franchise Association’s ‘Franchisor of the Year Awards’ is now open for entries.
This annual event aims to recognise and promote the best in franchising, providing extensive opportunities to raise the profile of those that enter and reward them for leading the way in an industry already growing year on year.
Says Sir Bernard Ingham, president of the bfa and chairman of the judges for the awards: “This year the awards are being conducted against a very difficult economic background and this year’s theme - Today’s Foundations for Tomorrow’s Success - will underline the sound work done in the past and what is being done now in a recession to ensure future success.
“Franchisors are under many pressures, which include ensuring the future of its entire network. They hold in their hands the livelihoods of many individual business owners and securing their future demands foresight, acumen and investment.”
The Express Newspapers Brand Builder of the Year Award and the HSBC Award for Enterprise sit alongside the bfa awards to celebrate further how companies are still investing and working hard to improve business.
The closing date for entries is March 16. For more information visit www.thebfa.org
