There is not only one winner. This award can be achieved by any franchisee who can demonstrate the ability to perform exceptionally well in all areas of their business, consistently.
There are numerous fabulous awards programmes in UK franchising, however Johnny Sellyn, Managing Director of whichfranchise.com, founded these awards to put the spotlight on the people who continue to make UK franchising a success, franchisees.
Johnny has been involved in franchising for over 25 years and felt it was time the industry introduced awards where franchisees had the opportunity to be recognised for outstanding performance, regardless of the size of the business or the sector.
The benefits of achieving the Great British Franchisee Award are far reaching. Most importantly, winners receive recognition for their hard work as a franchisee, setting themselves and their businesses apart from the competition. Additionally, winners benefit from excellent PR opportunities, backed by professionally produced case studies, raising the profile of the winners within their network, local communities and on a larger platform through whichfranchise.com. Furthermore, the morale boost the franchisees and their valued teams is significant, as the credentials of their business shine through. Franchisees are the true lifeblood of UK franchising and these awards go some way to giving them the kudos they richly deserve.
