We had a fantastic time at the International Franchise Show in London! One of the most impressive aspects was witnessing the presence of both well-established brands and a significant number of emerging ones. It was truly an incredible experience, observing the vision, passion, and drive of young entrepreneurs committed to growing their brands. Additionally, the event provided an excellent opportunity not only to forge new connections but also to reconnect with familiar faces.
The franchise industry in the UK is experiencing remarkable growth. With 48,000 franchise outlets, 900 franchise brands, and £17 billion in annual sales, the figures underscore the industry's robustness.
It's evident why so many entrepreneurs are drawn to its vast potential. Furthermore, it was enlightening to engage in discussions with brands already strategizing for international expansion. Looking forward to what the future holds in this dynamic sector!
