After attending the National Franchise Exhibition 2024, I wanted to share my thoughts and experiences with you all. I truly love attending any franchise events I can, I feel that franchising is an incredible industry to be in and it's a great community to be a part of.
To start the day, we heard from The BFA’s CEO, Pip Wilkins QFP with some overarching statistics and findings from the new 2024 British Franchise Journal. Being the data nerds of franchising, we loved to hear the new stats and see how things in the UK franchise industry have changed. Stuart made an unexpected cameo appearance on one of the slides of the presentation which, of course, caused a few giggles, especially as it took me pointing out to Stuart that it was him. We will be taking the time to scour through the journal to update our knowledge and understanding of the industry and its changes as a team.
