Franchising in the UK is booming, contributing an impressive £19.1bn to the economy and boasting an average unit turnover of £400,000*.
As London’s premier franchise event draws near, there’s never been a better time to explore the opportunities within the thriving franchise community.
From 31 January - 1 February, The British & International Franchise Exhibition will open its doors to provide the spark of inspiration for the next generation of franchise entrepreneurs. Aspiring business owners are invited to Olympia Events to learn all about this proven business model and take the next steps toward building a successful business.
Exclusively supported by the British Franchise Association (BFA), the event will showcase over 100 franchise brands from a broad range of sectors including McDonald’s, Snap Fitness, Kokoro, Bluebird Care, Tutor Doctor and many more.
Highlights include a keynote presentation from renowned businessman and celebrity chef, Levi Roots. Best known as the creator of the multi-million-pound Reggae Reggae Sauce brand, Levi is set to bring his vibrant energy to the Main Stage through his keynote ‘Roots to success’ as he inspires the next generation of entrepreneurs to turn their business dreams into reality.
Throughout the event, industry experts will be on hand to offer complimentary one-to-one advice. Specialist lawyers will decode the legalities, funding providers will shine a light on the range of finance options, and franchise consultants will offer insights into the practicalities.
"Running for more than 30 years, The Franchise Exhibitions are industry-leading events with exhibitors representing a range of sectors from food and beverage to care, education and fitness. The exhibitions have helped thousands of people find their perfect franchise opportunity and we cannot wait for more of the same this year at Olympia Events.”
