BFA Franchisor of the Year Awards 2009 open for entries
February 3rd 2009 The British Franchise Association’s (bfa) ‘Franchisor of the Year Awards’, sponsored by Express Newspapers and HSBC, is now open for entries. The awards aims to show that even during an economic downturn there are still success stories in business; with the franchising industry set to show others how they look to ensure a strong future. The annual awards aim to recognise and promote the best in franchising, providing extensive opportunities to raise the profile of those that enter and reward them for leading the way in an industry already growing year on year.
“This year the awards are being conducted against a very difficult economic background and this year's theme 'Today's Foundations for Tomorrow's Success' will underline the
sound work done in the past and what is being done now in a recession to ensure future success,“ comments Sir Bernard Ingham, president of the bfa and chairman of the judges for the awards. “Franchisors are under many pressures, which include ensuring the future of its entire network. They hold in their hands the livelihoods of many individual business owners and securing their future demands foresight, acumen and investment.”
The Express Newspapers Brand Builder of the Year Award and the HSBC Award for Enterprise sit alongside the bfa awards to celebrate further how businesses today are still investing and working hard to improve business.
With entries being taken from bfa member franchisors until the 16th March the bfa is expecting to see some fantastic examples of how franchising continues to buck the trend of this weakened market. For more information contact the bfa via its website at http://www.thebfa.org. Click here
