From the editor
Welcome to The Franchise Magazine 2020, your essential read if you’re considering running your own business. This year’s edition contains real-life stories from successful franchise
owners taking control of their fortunes by working with an established brand and a tried-and-tested model. Turn to page 10 to read about committed and enthused McDonald’s franchisees that are dreaming big when it comes to their business ambitions. We speak to Wiltshire Farm Foods’ franchise partners about their decision to join the network and why it’s the most rewarding thing they’ve ever done. Plus, the head office team at Vodafone UK share insights into the global brand’s decision to become ‘more local’. One thing all our spotlight interviewees have in common is the passion,
excitement and near-limitless vision for growth they embody – I’m willing to bet that these are some of the most uplifting, inspiring and positive business stories that you’ll read all year. I hope you find their enthusiasm infectious and that it encourages you to take further steps towards the end goal of your franchise journey. Also in this edition you’ll find the ‘What’s hot’ features throughout profiling
some of the leading names in care, food, cleaning, management, retail and hands-on franchises, as well as our sector showcase tips for growth areas in 2020 (pages 64 to 68). Head to page 79 for the ultimate franchise directory, where you’ll find
some of the industry’s hottest businesses in a guide packed with all the brands worth knowing and investing in – the perfect coffee table magazine to refer back to time and time again! Here at The Franchise Magazine, we have once again put our all into
sourcing the best and most up-to-date information on franchising to keep you going all year. Enjoy!
