There are now less than three weeks until the franchise industry comes together to celebrate at the 2019 bfa HSBC Franchise Awards, held this year at The Vox, Birmingham on June 27th.

One franchise that is keen to celebrate is Access4Lofts, shortlisted for the Emerging Franchisor of the Year Award. Having worked tirelessly on their franchise model that supplies and installs loft hatches, loft ladders, boarding, lighting and insulation. CEO Graham Ormesher explains, “We learnt a lot from our pilot operation and we knew some significant improvements were in order.”

Lindsay Brown, Marketing Director for Access4Lofts, says, “We knew it was key to implement a strong infrastructure at the very start and it was this process and how we achieved it, that we focused on in our award nomination”

The awards evening is the flagship event in the franchising calendar and getting a nomination in itself is a major achievement, proving the business works ethically and in the best interests of franchisees and staff, fighting off many other companies vying for the accolade.

Pip Wilkins, CEO of the British Franchising Association (bfa), congratulated the company:

“Access4Lofts have shown to be extremely organised, driven and innovative in both their entry and judges presentation. The work they have achieved in such a short time is commendable and they 100% deserve their nomination at the 2019 bfa HSBC Franchise Awards.

They will go face-to-face against two other franchise units in June from sectors in domiciliary care and installations.
