2010 bfa HSBC Franchisor of the Year – Winners Announced
Cathryn Hayes - HSBC Head of Franchising
I had the pleasure of announcing the winners of the 21st bfa HSBC Franchisor of the Year Awards 2010, supported by Express Newspapers, at the award ceremony in Nottingham last week.
Presentations to the judging panel by the 15 finalists in April brought much deliberation before the winners were selected for the three award categories. We judges felt that those chosen displayed exceptional qualities at a time when British businesses have had to be more innovative than ever to compete successfully in today’s economic climate.
The winners were:
bfa HSBC Franchisor of the Year Award
- Gold – TaxAssist Accountants
- Silver – Domino’s Pizza
- Bronze – Autosmart
HSBC Franchisee Support Award
Express Newspapers Brand Builder
- Cook
Judging the finalists was tremendously difficult as so many franchisors have shown innovative ways in which to survive and prosper despite the economic downturn. TaxAssist clearly demonstrated unique and exciting business success and is a deserving winner of the bfa HSBC Franchisor of the Year Award. Deciding on the winners of the HSBC Franchisee Support and Express Newspapers Brand Builder awards were equally difficult with exceptional practices on display – Revive! and Cook should be justly proud of their achievements.
I am sure that all the winners will capitalise on their success and continue to build businesses with strength and conviction by helping their franchisees to adopt innovative and strategically sound tactics for growth.
