bfa HSBC Franchisee of the Year Awards Supported by Express Newspapers

We are delighted to launch the 2012 bfa HSBC Franchisee of the Year Awards, supported by Express Newspapers, with entries now being accepted until Friday 29th June.

Each year, these awards highlight the incredible achievements of truly outstanding individuals. Now in their 23rd year, the 2012 awards will once again celebrate the successes of franchisees from around the UK, culminating in a black tie awards dinner in Birmingham on 4th October.

In 2010, we introduced a regional structure to the awards, which enabled franchisors to enter up to 5 franchisees – one for each of the bfa regions. This was followed in 2011 by the addition of a regional semi-finalist stage to the awards judging process. These changes have been welcomed with extremely positive feedback and we are pleased to be retaining these elements for the 2012 awards. This format substantially increases the opportunity for all awards entrants and provides the bfa with a much larger platform for extensive regional and national media promotion.

Entry forms will soon be mailed out to members however, in the meantime, you and your franchisor clients can download a copy from the bfa website. Full information on the awards, including what entries should cover and a breakdown of the bfa’s regions by postcode, can be found in the area of the website.
