Here's what exhibitors had to say about The British and International Franchise Exhibition 2020
“The exhibition has been very busy with a tangible buzz about it. The atmosphere helps engage people even more and we’ve had some in-depth conversations with visitors who have a serious interest in franchising and are ready to explore what we offer.”
fit20 – Niri Patel – Managing Director
"The event has exceeded expectations, it’s gone excellently, very well indeed!”
Dallas Chicken & Ribs – Dabeel Waheed – Operations Director
“It’s been an amazing day! I’ve had so much fun speaking with so many people – people who are serious prospects. The footfall’s been fantastic, and the atmosphere is great.”
First Class Learning – Jaymini Bhattacharya – Franchise Development Manager
“Day one of the event has been a great success, yielding 50% more leads than our best ever day to date!”
Ethical Property Partners – Frank Flegg – Founder
“We’ve been delighted with the calibre of visitors to the stand. We’ve had good quality conversations with well-informed and well-prepared individuals, some of whom already have the investment in place and are ready to proceed.”
Fun Fest – Lynne Newman – Business Development Director
“Today has been nuts! Our stand has been so busy and there’s a great buzz at the event! People have done their research and we’ve been able to have quality, constructive conversations with them.”
Tutor Doctor – Nigel Mayne – Director of International Franchise Development
“This is our first time exhibiting at the event and it’s been very promising. We’re looking to grow our franchise network quickly and we’ve had some valuable conversations with plenty of engaged, informed individuals.”
TRIB3 – Kirsty Angove – Chief Marketing Officer
“This is always a well-organised event and is productive for us. This year feels particularly busy – right from the doors opening – and visitors seem focused and engaged.”
Dream Doors – Alex Waite – Director of Franchise Recruitment
"I have been delighted with the quality of prospects we’ve met over the last two days. A number of excellent candidates who were already in our system also attended the event to take advantage of all of the advice on offer which will help speed up their journey to becoming one of our franchisees. I feel very positive that we are going to sign up a good number of new franchise partners as a direct result of exhibiting at the Olympia event.”

“It has been an action-packed couple of days. We’ve spoken to quality prospects that would be a great fit for each of the Neighbourly family of brands that we’ve showcased at this exhibition. Hats off to the marketing team for attracting such a broad range of quality prospects.”
Neighborly (Bright & Beautiful, Drain Doctor & Dream Doors) – Elliot Boyden – Franchise Sales Marketing Manager
“The best day at an exhibition we’ve had in 5 years – both in terms of quantity and quality of conversations we’ve had with prospective franchisees. Lively buzz throughout the event and well put-together as always.”
Agency Express – Ben Brookes – Managing Director
“The event has gone really well for us. We’ve had two packed days – we came last year and I think we have doubled the number of leads collected which is brilliant. Great quality prospects too.”
Cafe2U – Karen Atkinson – Operations Support Manager
“We haven’t exhibited for about 15 years but we’ve redefined some new territories in the south of England so taking part in the Olympia event was the perfect choice for us. It has been an exceptional event – we’ve had a large number of really good quality leads. People are really engaged and a number of them have a good level of existing knowledge about both franchising and our brand which is a great starting point! I’m feeling really positive about next steps.” ”
Minster Cleaning – Fiona Davies – Franchise Marketing Manager
“Such a worthwhile event. The Multi-unit Franchise Conference has attracted excellent existing franchisees looking for expansion opportunities to the exhibition which has resulted in some really positive, in-depth discussions. Exhibiting has been a great way to raise awareness of the brand amongst quality candidates and will undoubtedly support our growth.”
9Round – Matt Fowler – Franchise Development Manager
“Our first exhibition and it has really exceeded our expectations. We’ve had lots of serious enquiries across both days - exciting things ahead!”
Clip 'n Climb – Mick Cooke – UK Sales Manager
“This is the first time we’ve exhibited, and it was brilliant. Not only have we come away with really hot leads for our UK franchise opportunity, but we also have some great international ones as well. Participating in the presentation programme really benefitted us by driving even more traffic to the stand. Access to the venue was easy and the team were great – looking forward to the next one already!”
Bartercard – Nadia Roohi – National Franchise Assistant
"The Olympia event was the best Franchise Exhibition we’ve done to date. We had lots of credible conversations with visitors which I’m positive will convert into new franchisees for us. The organisers have clearly made a concerted effort to attract good quality visitors rather than time-wasters, and – as always – good set up and friendly staff which is a bonus.”
Coffee Planet – Scott Treasaden – Brand Operations Manager
“All in all, a great event for us. We’ve booked in lots of follow-up meetings with prospective franchisees already which is really positive. Having one of our franchisees on the Real Franchise Stories panel was great as it allowed us to share a different perspective. A successful couple of days!”
Telcoinabox – Jo Conder – Product Manager
“Fantastic event. Brilliant networking opportunity that has generated a lot of really high-quality leads.”
Tezlom – Zoe Perry – Head of Recruitment
“Extremely busy event. We have met lots of interesting and really keen prospects.”
Auntie Anne’s – Victoria Gale – Franchise Recruitment Manager
“I would just like to say a big thank you to the Venture team for once again organising a fantastic event. It has been a great two days – lots of people, lots of interest. I would definitely recommend exhibiting to any franchisor looking to grow their network.”
Zerodrytime – David Muirhead – Managing Director
