With selection to the finals for the HSBC Franchisee Support Award two years running, the UK’s largest cost, purchase and supplier management consultancy continues to attract more management professionals who had been seeking self employment via franchising.

One of its four latest appointees, Rob Andrew, whose background is business development in the IT and telecoms industry said, “Having looked at the marketplace and competition, I felt that Auditel has the best, most ethical and future-proofed business model, backed up by a first-class infrastructure”

Also joining are Alex Chewins who until recently was running his own Property Management Company, Geoff Dale, formerly Business Development Manager for a Point of Sale software supplier; and Ian Hopping who held a number of self employed roles, including Marketing Director with convenience stores

According to the 2011 NatWest/British Franchise Association Survey, ‘The franchise model is becoming an increasingly attractive option for those looking to run a business for the first time. Nine out of ten franchisees remain profitable.’ Many new franchisees are attracted to Auditel by its long-standing Full Membership. The bfa confirms, ‘the confidence that membership can give is invaluable. When a business is putting itself forward for close and careful scrutiny, it is demonstrating its commitment to investing in an ethical and sustainable business model.’

Edward Brewer, Auditel’s Franchise Development Director, adds: “Our training, development and ongoing support have been recognised within the industry for the second consecutive year. Many of our franchisees are enjoying the lifestyle they had only dreamed about. So if you too are a management professional considering a career change, why not book your place at one of our Free Discovery Seminars. Meet our Franchise Network Development Team and ask as many questions as you like. We shall enjoy meeting you!”
