Dan Wade Announced as BFA Young Franchisee of the Year Finalist

We are proud to announce that Dan Wade, a member of our Healthcare Practice Team, has beaten a record number of entrants to be shortlisted as a finalist in the BFA ‘Young Franchisee of the Year’ competition. 

The award is one of the most prestigious honours available to individuals in Franchising. The process to reach this shortlist proved very challenging due to the calibre of the field of entrants, however Dan was one of 3 applicants in this category who progressed through to the final.

Dan (right) joined WPA in September 2009 at the age of 22 and his business has gone from strength to strength.

In 2014 Dan became Director of New Practice Development in addition to running his own Franchise.

His new Director of New Practice Development role focuses on the recruitment of new Healthcare Partners, support and training within the first 2 years of their businesses. 

Franchising is a growing industry and Dan represents what is possible to achieve when becoming a WPA Healthcare Partner.

Results will be announced at the BFA Awards Ceremony on Thursday 1 October 2015.
