Award Leisure Hoping for Award Success

With just one month to go until the 2019 bfa HSBC Franchise Awards at the Vox, Birmingham, the excitement amongst the finalists continue to rise.

Award Leisure, a hot tub & outdoor leisure retailer, has been shortlisted for the Emerging Franchisor of the Year accolade, and are brimming with anticipation ahead of the awards, to be held at the Vox, Birmingham.

Jessica Anthony, the Franchise Development Manager at Award Leisure, enthuses: “We are waiting in anticipation to hear if we have done enough to win! It would be such an honour! The process has been very enjoyable and has certainly kept us on our toes ensuring we meet the standards and deliver to the judging panel!”

The awards evening is the flagship event in the franchising calendar and getting a nomination in itself is a major achievement, proving the business works ethically and in the best interests of franchisees and staff, fighting off many other companies vying for the accolade.

Pip Wilkins, CEO of the British Franchising Association (bfa), congratulated the company:

“Award Leisure have been nominated for Emerging Franchisor, a prominent category for early franchise systems who have proven to have built a strong franchise model that is passionate and sustainable.

“Its family values shone through while presenting to the judges in April, and I am excited to meet them again at the awards.”

They will go face-to-face against two other franchise units in June from sectors in domiciliary care and installations.
