New Franchise Supplier Website Launches
Brian Duckett addresses the attendees of the Franchise Supplier Showcase
The 2011 Franchise Business Booster and Supplier Showcase was held this year at the National Motorcycle Museum on 18th November.
The event achieved its goal of saving franchisors the research required to seek out good suppliers of specialist products and services for their businesses. One franchisor summed the day up by saying “It would take me months or even years to discover all of these suppliers on my own”.
Another interesting view of proceedings came from the companies present who are taking their first steps in to franchising. Many were genuinely surprised that there are so many suppliers with offerings that are bespoke to the franchise sector. One commented “This is a whole new world for us and this event has opened it all up for us.”
The event is organised by The Franchising Centre and Chairman Brian Duckett commented “Franchisors tell us they like this event because it saves them time and effort sourcing suppliers. To support them further in this direction we have launched a new website that is a directory of franchise suppliers. We anticipate it will become the first port of call for any franchisor looking for a supplier and it’s even an easy name to remember: franchisesuppliers.co.uk”.
Once again proceeds from this event went to the Trussell Trust’s Food Bank charity.

Calling all Franchisors: Save Time and Effort and be Inspired All in One Day?
The Business Booster Conference and Supplier Showcase 2011
This year’s Business Booster Conference and Franchise Supplier Showcase takes place on Thursday 17th November in Birmingham. The purpose of the event is to save franchisors the extensive time and effort it takes to source good suppliers that can help make their businesses more efficient and profitable, by bringing them all together under one roof for a day.
The event is organised by The Franchising Centre and Managing Director Brian Duckett commented “A frustration for many franchisors is knowing that there are good products and services out there that can help them develop their business, but they don’t have the time to go through the whole process of searching for and interviewing potentially good suppliers. The purpose of this event is to gather together lots of suppliers under one roof that know and understand the franchise market so that franchisors can speak to a number all on one day.”
The event provides a nice relaxed atmosphere in which franchisors can speak to suppliers to learn about their offering without the stresses involved in a more traditional sales environment.
The event also aims to provide information which is useful and interesting to franchisors with a number of guest speakers and presentations. Back by popular demand this year will be Brody Sweeney with more inspirational words about his own experiences in the world of franchising – anyone who saw him last year will tell you that he is not to be missed!
All proceeds from the event will go to the Trussel Trust’s Foodbank project which provides an immediate source of emergency food for those who unexpectedly hit hard times here in the UK.
