A great day at Barclays Eagle Labs led by Mel Alfieri for their first Women in Franchise event. Suzie McCafferty started the day with a thought-provoking run down on current hot topics in franchising and the day finished with Jen Chapman leading an inspiring neuroscience session

Last Thursday saw the Elite Franchise Top 100 Awards celebrating the achievements of the franchise industry. Congratulations to the winners and to all the franchisors who made the Top 100.

What is your business worth? Always an interesting topic, there are so many variables. Last week's "First Friday" led by Stephen & Jim from bizvalglobal.com proved just that. Their valuation tool that they demonstrated proved this and was most certainly food for thought

This Thursday is the day for March's @BFA_UK Power Hour. Go to the British Franchise Association website to register to join. This month's topic is about franchise recruitment. The Power Hour gives you the opportunity to learn or share with the franchising community.

Thursday was the annual Legal Seminar hosted by @BFA_UK at Sky's Head Office. A big shout out to The British Franchise Associated for putting together an excellent agenda covering all of the current hot topics. I am sure everyone agreed it was a very informative and enjoyable day

Last weekend was the British & International Franchise Show at Olympia. We were unable to attend this year, but it looked like it was a fantastic event with many franchise brands exhibiting and lots of fantastic seminars to teach and inspire people looking to join the industry

Great @EWIF_UK meeting in London last Thursday. Interesting presentation on the use of AI in video, helpful franchise discussions followed by fun and games at the end. Fantastic meeting!

It is that time again when the EWIF (Encouraging Women into Franchising) regional meetings start. We are looking forward to the London meeting on Thursday, kindly hosted by NatWest.

We have talked about the return of Ayla, so here is some info. She is dual-qualified: England & Wales/New York with a specialist focus on franchising, licensing & commercial law. Ayla supports clients across the entire lifecycle of a franchise, providing clear, jargon-free advice

Homecare's Got Talent started as a talent show for the domiciliary care industry. Now they have released a charity single, very aptly, a cover of ANGELS to raise funds for The Care Workers' Charity: often the unsung (no pun intended) heroes. Every listen on Spotify raises funds

Friday news! Welcome back to Ayla Karmali. Glad to have you back where you belong! Now with several years of tech and AI legal experience under her belt too. So excited to work together again.

Throwback Thursday. More golden days ahead .....

If, like most of us, the change in the weather and the earlier darkness has been a bit of a shock to the system this week, then here is a lovely benefit of winter: You don't have to get up too early to get a beautiful sunrise. This was taken at about 8.30 am last January

Yesterday we were out and about again, this time to the British Franchise Association's Advisor and Supplier Forum where we discussed AI, legal updates and collaboration. Great to meet up with our franchise colleagues. And thank you to Brady for letting us use his photo

A fantastic day at the British Franchise Association annual conference yesterday and topped off with the awards. Congratulations to all the franchisees and franchisors. #bfaHSBCAwards2025
