The finalists of The Best Franchise Awards 2024, sponsored by Lloyds Bank, have been announced by WorkBuzz, the event organiser. The awards stand out for being entirely driven by feedback from hundreds of franchisees, putting a spotlight on the very best in the franchising sector.
To be considered for the awards, franchisors must have taken part in the Franchise Satisfaction Benchmark (FSB) programme, where franchisees assess their franchisor on critical factors such as initial training, ongoing support, their working relationship, and whether they would recommend the franchise to a prospective franchisee. Only the top-performing franchisors are then put forward as finalists in The Best Franchise Awards.
The Best Franchise Awards 2024 finalists are:
Business to Business
- Platinum Property Partners
- Specialist Glass Repairs
- UK Business Mentoring
Business to Consumer
- Daisy First Aid
- Rise
- The Youth Fairy
Children’s Services
- Football Fun Factory
- Lingotot
- The Creation Station
Management
- Apollo Care
- Chaiiwala
- Molly Maid
Best New Entrant award
Rise, The Youth Fairy and UK Business Mentoring have been shortlisted for the Best New Entry award, which recognises franchisors making their debut and receiving exceptional feedback from their franchisees.
Steven Frost, founder and chief executive of WorkBuzz commented: “Over 140 franchisors participated in The Best Franchise Awards this year – an all-time high. These awards naturally attract the most forward-thinking and well-managed franchise networks, so these finalists truly represent the best of the best.”
The winners will be announced at the British Franchise Association’s (BFA) Annual Conference, supported by WorkBuzz, on 7th November. The BFA conference is a highlight in the franchising calendar, bringing together industry leaders from across the UK to network and share their experiences.
About the FSB programme
The benchmark programme, coordinated by WorkBuzz, works by inviting existing franchisees to participate in a confidential online survey which asks them 32 questions about their franchise ownership experience. Using a consistent methodology, the franchise is assigned an overall FSB score. The highest performing franchisors are then recognised in the Best Franchise Awards.
