Granite & TREND Transformations expands its franchise advisory and support team

Franchising and retail management veteran Mike Brocklebank, QFP has been appointed as the brand's new franchise network manager

Fuelled by the recent boom in the home renovation industry and its reputation for world-class training and support, Granite & TREND Transformations has had a record number of new franchisees joining its network.

With this boom, the franchise has expanded its Franchise Advisory and Support Team (FAST) to include even more experience and expertise. 

Mike Brocklebank, QFP has been appointed as the brand’s new franchise network manager. Brocklebank joins the team after a long and successful career in both franchising and retail management at some of the UK’s leading brands and has already amassed an impressive set of accolades for his achievements.

“The Granite & TREND Transformations franchise is changing the landscape of the home improvement industry and I am really looking forward to working with one of the most dynamic teams in the market. The company is really pulling out all the stops to help our new franchisees become some of the brightest and best in the trade and I can’t wait to help them unlock their full potential,” said Brocklebank.

His new responsibilities will centre around supporting new franchisees from the moment they finish their training right through the entire lifetime of their partnership. Brocklebank will be the main contact for any existing partners that need support and guidance but will also take the lead in mentoring new franchisees and helping them to get their business to that all-important break-even point as soon as possible.

COO Danny Hanlon sees a bright future ahead: “Mike’s expertise in the retail and franchise sector will really help strengthen our franchise advisory and support team. He has a passion for helping franchisees realise their personal and professional goals and when you couple that trait with his experience of guiding, coaching and supporting franchisees across a diverse range of business sectors, his appointment makes for a very exciting addition to our team.”
