"There is a superb support network in place in Scotland who are there to help franchisees and franchisors"


Pip Wilkins, chief executive of the bfa,


comments: “There is a superb support network in place in Scotland who are there to help franchisees and franchisors. Many of these experts will be on hand at free


events during Scottish Franchise Week, and I would urge the public to tap into this wealth of advice and knowledge.” Ross Gamble, a Dream Doors franchisee


from West Edinburgh, shares his life-changing experience. He says: “I was ready to work for myself, but I just didn’t have that ‘bright spark’ idea to start a business from scratch so I began looking into franchising. “I like to get stuck into a new challenge, so the Dream Doors concept appealed to me right from the get go. The more I found out about the brand during conversations


with the head office team and other franchisees, the more confidence I felt that it would be a good fit for me. “Now, I’m really looking forward to my business becoming more established and exploring new growth opportunities – exciting things ahead!” Existing business owners considering


expanding through franchising will also benefit from attending the event. A team who have a wealth of experience helping business owners to launch and build their franchise networks, will be on hand to share their expertise. Helen McCulloch, portfolio sales manager for Venture Marketing Group, organisers of Franchise Opportunities, adds: “The bfa are predicting that the Scottish franchise sector will be worth £1billion by 2020, Franchise Opportunities will undoubtedly help fuel this growth. “We are continually working to ensure that our events provide innovative and effective forums for potential franchisees to find their ideal franchise business. “Attendees will have access to a winning


combination of bfa-accredited franchise brands, one-on-one consultations with professional advisers and a series of free presentations, all designed to empower visitors with the knowledge to make an informed decision about their future.” l
