Whilst “C” has affected us all, we have managed to change, diversify and create new opportunities for the brand and our partners. We will continue to adapt and deploy, whilst carefully testing new areas, before rolling them out.
We wish we could replicate our 2020 success throughout the franchise industry, regretfully not all businesses are doing as well. We are thinking of them and wish them a speedy and full recovery.
Meet the class of 2020
With seven new business launches successfully completed last year, it’s time for some introductions….
In March, during the Welsh floods and the first lockdown, we launched Gareth’s business in Newport.
June saw the launches of Swindon South, Bedford North and Sleaford & Grantham for David, John and Connor and Rich & Claire respectfully.
In September, Beaconsfield & The Chalfont’s, North West Devon and Breckland (Norfolk) also went live for Greg and Tracy, Dan and David and Emma.
As well as helping them to get off to a flying start, they have been a pleasure to work closely with over this year. With their determination and positive attitude, they are set for a wonderful business future.
As the light at the end of the lockdown tunnel is starting to make a welcome appearance, we are looking forward to helping more people set up in business, under a safe, enjoyable and secure framework.
