ormer sales director Simon Baggaley has taken the leap to fulfi l his lifelong vision of being his own boss. He says: “I love working in small teams and now I will have the chance to build a team around me. Getting the benefi t of a franchisor’s experience and hitting the ground running is what attracted me to franchising.”
By collaborating with Award Leisure,
the UK’s only luxury outdoor leisure franchise, Simon has been able to achieve his dream while working in an industry he is passionate about. He adds: “There were other opportunities in the industry that I considered, but it wasn’t just the fact that the Award Leisure prospect was a franchise that made me decide. I had done a lot of research into products and competitors and fi rmly believe that the Award Leisure business model and catalogue is the best in the industry.” Having been employed for over 30 years, Simon admits it was a daunting decision to commit to owning a new business. With the support of Award Leisure and his family and friends, he is very excited about the year ahead. “I have had excellent support and engagement from Award Leisure throughout the process. I get the feeling I’m part of a team working towards a common goal – opening a new outlet in a new territory for mutual benefi t. I think they are as excited as me about it! I feel the franchise model they have put together is very professional and well run.” With yearly sales projections of 30 units, Simon has an ambitious yet achievable personal target of selling 50 units this year. Having found a fantastic showroom in a popular and busy location, Simon will likely be smashing his forecasted sales in no time. Award Leisure is looking forward supporting Simon in reaching his goal. Setting up an Award Leisure franchise
entails fi nding retail premises in the right location to showcase an extensive product range of exciting, unique and exclusive outdoor luxury leisure products. The role of an Award Leisure franchise owner is stimulating, enjoyable and highly rewarding. Attractive margins are achieved by product sales and service contracts, as well as
