“This feeling of rejuvenation and renewal should be seized upon”
T
he rain has fi nally stopped (well almost…), spring has started to rear its head and with it there seems to be a new air of positivity
and opportunity. This feeling of rejuvenation and
renewal should be seized upon if you are looking for a change in your work and maybe even location. There will be an abundance of international brands looking to recruit new franchisees both within the UK and abroad at The British & International Franchise Exhibition, taking place on 14 and 15 March at London Olympia. The event is the largest franchise exhibition in London and boasts a huge number of highly sought-after franchise opportunities. It is exclusively supported by the bfa and features a comprehensive free seminar programme. The Exhibition is a great chance for you to brush up on the ins and outs of
franchising – an event not to be missed! See pages 35-55 for the Show Guide. I will be at the event on the Business Franchise Stand (G10), please do drop by if you have any questions, we would love to meet you. With franchising proving to be a
popular choice amongst ex-armed forces, we profi le (on pages 28-31) the journey of some inspiring franchisees who have made the leap from military service to running their own business. In this issue we also take an in-depth
look at business-to-business franchises – a sector that continues to thrive and is an attractive option for those wanting to draw on their professional strengths. See pages 56-60 to read some real-life franchisee stories. I hope they inspire you!
