Franchise growth for Rise

The sports and adapted activities franchise has seen two more territories join following its launch just five months ago

Rise was launched by entrepreneur and franchising specialist, Trevor Brocklebank (pictured), in September 2021, with its first two franchise territories in south Wales. This has now been followed by territories opening in Epsom, Surrey and Warrington and Halton in Cheshire.

“It’s fantastic to be able to expand the network so early on,” said Trevor. “We are speaking to many people who are reconsidering their futures and want to take control by setting up their own business. And they are also looking for sustainable businesses that give back – we certainly tick these boxes.”

Rise offers a range of activities based on games, sports and dance for the health and social care sector. These activities are tailored to people’s physical ability or cognitive capacity to bring health and wellbeing benefits.

Debbie and Andrew Heffernan have become Rise franchisees in Epsom with the activities in Warrington and Halton being run by Rise employees Daisy Webber and Vicki Martin.

Debbie said: “We are excited to be on board with Rise and can see how it will enable us to deliver real benefits to people in our local community. We have known Trevor for a number of years through the care sector; his reputation is second to none. We really can’t wait to get started.”
