Band of brothers
I
have always looked up to my mum. I admire her ability to put her hand to anything, her drive for her career, and, most importantly, her involvement with family. Climbing the ladder while bringing up four children can’t be easy, but she’s found that work- life balance perfectly by being her own boss. What helps is her desire for the role while dictating her own hours. I would love to run a business with someone with her passion, so that’s exactly what we’ve investigated this month: working with your family.
Keeping your business in the bloodline can be a blessing in disguise; an already established relationship brings a huge amount of trust to a company to begin with. If you head to page 40, our editorial assistant, Jack Sadler, looked into the world of working with your loved ones. He revealed how investing in a franchise with your mum, dad, brothers, sisters or even your cousins can be the route to a successful venture. Remember, you can’t choose your family, but, out of the billions
of human beings on our planet, they’re the ones who know you best! That’s not all we have on offer this issue.
If you fl ick to page 36 you’ll fi nd yourself in gastronomical heaven, as we catch up with the cuisine connoisseurs who have invested in the sector they love best – food! From Esquires to Subway there is a range of franchises available in the industry to get your teeth into. Finally, after a successful National Franchise Exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham last month, we’ve put together a review. Make sure you turn to page 12 if you want to see how the two-day event went. Enjoy!
