EnviroVent represents Yorkshire in prestigious franchising awards

EnviroVent is Yorkshire’s sole representative amongst the 13 finalists for the 2013 bfa HSBC Franchisor of the Year Awards, and one of three franchisors competing to win the Brand Builder of the Year category.

The rapid growth of the Harrogate-based market leader in the manufacture of innovative and sustainable ventilation has been recognised by The British Franchise Association (bfa) as a potential winner of the category, which is made to the franchisor which demonstrates the most innovative methods in securing a long-term name for its brand.

The Awards, now in their 24th year, showcase the UK’s most exceptional franchisors that are driving business success through best practice, innovative strategies and building strong brands.

The other categories being competed for are the bfa HSBC Franchisor of the Year Award and the HSBC Franchisee Support Award.

In the Brand Builder category, EnviroVent will be up against two other franchisor businesses in Revive! and Signs Express.

The 13 finalists will be presenting their franchise’s success to the judging panel on Monday 20 and Tuesday 21 May 2013.

The winners of each category will be announced at the bfa HSBC Franchisor of the Year Awards gala dinner on Thursday 4 July 2013 at the Honorary Artillery Company, London.

Seán Hammond, head of franchising at Express Newspapers, which is the sponsor of the Brand Builder of the Year category, said: “The Brand Builder of the Year Award champions the franchisors who have implemented clever and innovative strategies to boost their brand recognition despite the highly competitive environment.

“This award offers a platform for high-performing franchisors to receive prestigious recognition not only at industry level but also to showcase their success amongst their peers and clients.”
