His considerable experience within the industry, both as a franchisor and a franchisee, gives him good insight and a depth of understanding of the different perspectives of franchising, equipping him well to take over as the next bfa Forum Chair for London & South East.

Commenting on this new appointment, David said: “I believe passionately in franchising and feel incredibly proud and lucky to have been a part of the industry for 25 years. We need a strong BFA and I would very much like to use my experience, knowledge, drive and determination to help the Association flourish and grow.”

The first meeting for the London & South East region is on the 17^th January with two further meetings scheduled for later in the year.

The forums attract a diverse range of professionals from different franchises, with discussion topics usually focusing on hot issues facing the industry. They are an excellent opportunity for seasoned, as well as new-to-the-industry franchise professionals, to meet, network and share best practices.
