Exhibitor testimonials for The British & International Franchise Exhibition 2008
“A combination of a good stand, position, eye catching display and a professionally produced DVD all helped make this our best exhibition to date. We have had a good quality of visitors to our stand keeping our six strong team very busy indeed! In addition we have benefited from an excellent website optimisation seminar run by Business Link.”
Tony Hewetson, Managing Director, Gardeneer UK
“A fantastic show with well over two hundred positive leads during the two days of which we will be making appointments with shortly. I had one visitor asking me when he could pay me the deposit on the master franchise of £550,000 – not too bad for the first day!”
Philip Battams, CEO, Evapure Products Ltd
“The British & International Franchise Exhibition has proved to be a very successful venture for Premier Sport. This is the first time the company has exhibited at the event and the quality of the leads has been very encouraging indeed. Premier Sport Ambassador Duncan Goodhew was on the stand and helped to draw a crowd of potential franchisees. As a result of our successes here we hope to be pursuing opportunities through the forthcoming Glasgow and Birmingham franchise events later on in the year.”
Steve Field, Marketing Manager, Premier Sport
“This has been the best attended exhibition this year. We have had over 30 firm expressions of interest with one potential client willing to relocate to a vacant franchise area. We are expecting continued growth in both the Lawn Doctor and Grounds Maintenance franchises.”
John Kilbey, Franchise Manager, Countrywide
“We used the exhibition to launch our franchise system looking for both franchisees for the UK and internationally. Given that we are a restaurant in the UK with relatively high level of investment we were extremely impressed with both the quality and volume of enquiries from potential franchisees on our stand. On the basis of this exhibition we have already secured our stand for the Birmingham NEC event in the autumn.”
Jamal Hirani, CEO, Tiffinbites
“An excellent exhibition for Quickie where we have had in the region of eighty three leads.”
Mike Giles, Sales Director, Thebestof/Quickie
“A very buoyant show with some thirty five leads received over the two days of which we have five really hot leads.”
Derek Wilson, Sales Director, Distribution Unlimited
“The show is a great opportunity to raise our profile and brand awareness and this year’s show has proved to be no exception.”
Alex Waite, Recruitment Manager, Dream Doors
“The event has been well attended and the quality of preshow press coverage has been excellent. We have found the quality of potential franchisees to be of a very high calibre from day one with over forty good enquiries received. The show has enabled my team to meet potential franchisees face to face which is a great opportunity not to be missed.”
Graham Dennis, Franchise Director, Pentagon UK
“As our first time at the exhibition we have had a very successful first show. We have already signed someone up and also received further enquiries from Reading, Guildford, Manchester, Luton, Milton Keynes and Cambridge as well as a number of leads from abroad.”
Dr Samir Attia, Chairman, SMA Worldwide
“This show has provided a great launch platform for our franchise business. We have had a great result and have been very encouraged indeed by the results. I look forward to returning to the show next year.”
Leo Martino, Managing Director, Moss Rid
“The exhibition has exceeded our expectations both in terms of quantity and quality of leads. We shall be returning next years having rebooked our stand.”
Garth Allison, UK Managing Director, Fastsigns
