Following the success of the inaugural event last year, the British Franchise Association (BFA) is holding its Leadership in Action event in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, on 27th March 2025. The event is open to both members and non-members of the association.

The event will see Team Academy returning for a second time to deliver the training package for the BFA. The academy is one of the UK’s foremost training providers having trained over 180,000 people says the association.
Attendees will be divided into small groups where they will be taught techniques and insights to enhance their leadership skills, with a specific focus on mindset development, coaching and change management.
Pip Wilkins, chief executive of the BFA, said: “After the very positive feedback we received from delegates following last year’s event, we are absolutely delighted to be working with Team Academy again.
“As well as welcoming back attendees from last year, with a completely new and updated programme, we’d also like to invite the leaders of tomorrow, to encourage them to connect with today’s leaders and forge lasting relationships that will shape future generations of the franchising sector.”
Sam Willoughby from What’s on 4 Kids who attended last year, wrote this testimonial following the event: “Team Academy maintained my energy all day! A very safe collaborative environment to share and learn together with a diverse range of people from different sectors. Many very practical and accessible takeaways for me. Thank you!”
Wilkins concluded: “In my experience, the best performing franchises all have one thing in common, strong leaders, and as the association that sets the standards for franchising in the UK, we want to provide our members with the best training available, to help them run successful, ethical and professional franchises.
“We look forward to welcoming everyone to the event in the firm knowledge that they will end the day inspired, empowered and better equipped to drive rapid and meaningful change within their organisations.”
