Five new recruits join Razzamataz Theatre Schools

“It is wonderful to be welcoming our latest recruits, especially as we near the end of this very difficult year,” said Denise Hutton-Gosney, MD and founder of Razzamataz

The franchise industry contributes over £17bn to the UK economy and more than 700,000 people are employed in franchising across the country. Despite a difficult economic climate, the last 12 months have seen franchise brands like Razzamataz survive and thrive thanks to its robust infrastructure and proven business model.

One of the things that Razzamataz is most proud of is how many former teachers and students are now playing a bigger part in the Razzamataz network, even becoming franchisees. Joining the franchise now are former teacher and mother of two Rebecca Jagger, principal of Razzamataz Plymouth, former staff members Esme Tutill and James Pennell are the new principals at Razzamataz Newcastle, Hollie Pickup, former student and teacher is taking over at Razzamataz York and Felicity Clifton will be joining her sister Jessica who owns Razzamataz Brentwood and Hornchurch as they expand further into Essex.

“It is wonderful to be welcoming our latest recruits, especially as we near the end of this very difficult year,” said Denise Hutton-Gosney, MD and founder of Razzamataz. “As a network, we have all stuck together and have not only survived, but have actually grown in numbers, both in terms of students and new franchisees. We also have lots of exciting new initiatives planned for 2021 so we are definitely ending this year on a positive note.”

Razzamataz quickly adapted to the challenges of COVID-19 and took its Discovery Dens and training online, which proved highly successful as Rebecca Jagger, principal of Razzamataz Plymouth explained: “Just wanted to say how fantastic the training has been. It is so thorough and although overwhelming at times, Charlotte and the team have made it so relaxed and fun. I have a lot to digest but am feeling on a high. So excited to start this journey with Razzamataz. Thank you for giving me this opportunity and allowing me to join the Razz Family.”
