About meFirstly, a few words to explain my background and experience. In a nutshell, I’ve been involved in franchising for virtually my entire career. I worked my way up to become Head of Business of one of the UK's most famous and well-established franchisors and have managed a number of franchised businesses. I've set up franchise networks from scratch, I've re-structured franchised businesses and I've restored struggling franchise networks to improved growth and profitability. What I doFor the past few years my consultancy has advised and supported new, developing and established franchisors to plan and perfect the resources and techniques that are critical to good franchising. This is what I do:- Make clear whether your business could be franchised and how it should be done.- Explain the implications of being a franchised business and what’s needed to make it a success. - Prepare a franchise development plan – define the requirements, resources and financial validation for a robust franchised business- Create the documentation and systems needed to effectively support and monitor franchisees- Plan and implement effective franchisee recruitment programmes- Provide mentoring and coaching support. The service takes you on the complete franchising journey, from planning to managing a network of franchisees. Depending on the requirements, I will either act an interim franchise manager, taking responsibility for project design and implementation, or simply provide advisory support. I have clients in a wide range of market sectors – home services, food, fitness - and I’m accredited by the British Franchise Association as a professional Advisor.How I workMy aim is to provide objective, practical help that will fully maximise the benefits of franchising. I work on a collaborative basis, seeking to deliver genuine value and build a long-term client relationship.If you’re not sure if franchising would suit your business, or you’re an existing franchisor looking to improve network performance, then please connect - I'm always available for an exploratory chat.
