The most highly attended and successful Auditel National Conference ever, took place at Marriott Forest of Arden, Birmingham, on Friday 9th November, in the presence of over 150 Auditel Consultants. The theme this year was ‘Increasing Value in Your Business’.

Auditel Managing Director, Chris Allison reported: “Today, we celebrate another year of growth and success in our network for the eighth year in a row. With this growth, our turnover has grown steadily. The collaborative nature of Auditel has allowed us to make quantum leaps forward. As long as we continue to embrace change with courage, careful planning and action, our futures will remain secure.”

There has been a great deal to celebrate this year. Auditel was awarded the HSBC sponsored British Franchise Association’s Outstanding Franchisee Support Award for 2012. The award is only open to brands that are full members of the bfa, through successful accreditation and who put standards, ethics and best practice at the top of their agenda. These franchise awards are seen as the industry’s top accolade.

 Auditel also has Affiliates that renew their franchises after 5, 10 and now 15 years due to consistently achieving their financial goals.

 During the black-tie dinner, a number of awards were presented to those franchisees who distinguished themselves during 2012.
