said: “Government statistics tell us that 15.5 per cent of all businesses are owned or run by women. In franchising, that figure is doubled to 30 per cent, a figure we at the bfa are very proud of.


“For any woman who has ever thought ‘I wonder what franchising is’, this event will be a one-stop shop to hear, meet and talk to the best of the best”


“We already know women are succeeding in franchising and we are proud to be running this event in recognition, celebration and support of them and their achievements. We want to bring all these brilliant women together, give them relevant, up-to-date information that we hope they will find useful in the practical, day-to-day life of running their businesses, and also give them the chance to meet and talk to each other, to make new contacts and to share information. For any woman who has ever thought ‘I wonder what franchising is’, this event will be a one-stop shop to hear, meet and talk to the best of the best. “As we all know, many women’s ‘soft skills’ of communication are outstanding


– put us all in a room together and we will talk! At the bfa, we are hugely proud of the women currently working in the franchising industry today. We hope many more women across the United Kingdom and further afield, who have maybe thought ‘one day I’ll franchise my hairdressers/ dog walking business/cleaning business/ accountancy’, will come along to the event and meet the industry experts and find out a little bit more about this little-known sector where women and their businesses thrive.”
