I am delighted to take up the post of franchise area operations manager with Creams. Creams are a hugely successful and rapidly expanding brand. The team are passionate and focused on the delivery of exceptionally good quality food, whilst supporting franchisees in the development of their store networks. I am privileged to be joining this amazing team and looking after Greater London.After 20 years with the MOD and Military, I attended City University (Barbican, London) to qualify as a Systems Auditor. Moving into the franchise arena just before the millennium, I have utilised the skills and knowledge from my time as a MOD systems auditor to bring strong systems management to all the franchise roles I have held. Starting back in the day with Kall Kwik and progressing through many development roles. My skill set expanded and my knowledge widened but I have never lost sight of the basic premise of franchising. Follow the system as it was designed, the one you bought into and you will be successful. It is all too easy to lose sight of this most simple principle. As a franchise professional I believe I can help my franchisees and my team to cut through the noise and focus on their core activity. Every day I meet lots of clever people out in the wider community that are only too happy to help, focus on what you can do and what you do well, let others take the strain when you need help from the specialists. Enjoy the journey, each day is an adventure, and you are in charge of it.
