Multi-unit expansion
The next step: Multi-unit franchising
R
ecent statistics show that franchising is going from strength to strength. Over 48,600 franchised units
contribute an estimated £17 billion annually to the UK economy and employ more than 700,000 people.* Successful franchisees are increasingly choosing to expand their portfolio, confi dent that they can replicate their achievements. In fact, fi gures suggest that around one in three franchisees now operate more than one unit: unsurprising given that 93% of franchisees claimed profi tability in 2018.* Existing franchisees looking to
expand, or those with the liquid capital to invest in more than one franchise unit from the outset, will fi nd the Multi-unit Franchise Conference sponsored by HSBC, an invaluable opportunity to learn more about this lucrative approach to business. Dedicated to shining a light on multi-unit franchising and exploring the unique challenges and rewards of running a portfolio of franchises, the conference on Friday 4 October at Birmingham’s NEC will feature a series of presentations from highly successful multi-unit franchisees and senior representatives of well-known brands. Highlights of the speaker line-up include Arvi Salariya, franchisee of Costa Coffee, Domino’s Pizza, CeX and formerly master franchisee of Nando’s in Delhi, India. He’ll join Starbucks franchisee, Bobby Sidhu and head of international development at Slim Chickens, Judd
Williams to discuss different strategies for expansion: from resale acquisition to master franchising. Keynote speaker and international managing director at Domino’s Pizza, Simon Wallis, will share Domino’s vision for the future. He’ll touch on the new markets the brand is looking to explore, product developments and expansion opportunities for the globally recognised brand and their franchisees. During a panel session, three other
industry veterans will discuss how to create a long-term growth plan in the current economic climate. Subway’s area development agent, Tesh Patel, will share the stage with multi-brand franchisee Neel Sodha and O2 franchisee Surjit
Dhillon. Each is well-placed to share their personal experiences to guide and inspire the next generation of multi-unit operators.
