Meet The Brands Supporting Encouraging Women Into Franchising

Encouraging Women into Franchising showcases the brands supporting its 8th annual awards event

Throughout 2018, Encouraging Women into Franchising is celebrating its 10th anniversary.

The 8th NatWest EWIF Awards event takes place on May 15 and it was great to see so many women being nominated across the industry. While award entries are currently being judged, EWIF thought it would shine the spotlight on each of its award sponsors.

Without their support, there would be no EWIF awards. Together we are 10yearsSTRONG.
