Multi-unit franchise ConFERENCE
The Multi-unit Franchise Conference & Networking lunch took place on Friday 9 June 2023 at Olympia London. For existing franchisees considering expanding their portfolios, or ambitious entrepreneurs looking to invest in multiple units from the outset, this was a truly unmissable event. Those in attendence heard from established franchisees as they discussed the dos and don'ts of multi-unit and multi-brand expansion and got insider tips on maximising your return on investment. The conference was co-located with The British & International Franchise Exhibition and after refuelling at the network lunch, delegates had the opportunity to explore the event and discover their next franchise venture. Once the exhibition ended at 4pm, delegates were invited to the VIP Lounge for a drinks reception.
