Mac Tools shortlisted for British Franchise Awards

The British Franchise Association (bfa) has announced the 14 finalists in the 2012 bfa HSBC Franchisor of the Year Awards, supported by Express Newspapers. Out of the shortlisted franchisors, Mac Tools is the only business from the highly-competitive automotive tools industry.

The Awards, now in their 23rd year, showcase ethical and innovative business ideas and the inspiring people behind them. They bring to life the stories of the exceptional franchisors supporting their franchisee network and building strong brands – serving to motivate the next generation of franchisors and franchisees.

Mac Tools is one of only four finalists in the hotly-contested category: The Express Newspapers Brand Builder of the Year Award.

Seán Hammond, Head of Franchising, Express Newspapers, said: “We received a high standard of entries this year and have seen a real focus on franchisors building and maintaining their brand, which is increasingly challenging as business becomes progressively more international and competition increases on a global scale. The bfa HSBC Franchisor of the Year Awards, supported by Express Newspapers, provides a platform for the most innovative and inspiring brand builders to share their successes and be rewarded for their achievements.”

Paul Clegg, UK Franchise Recruitment Manager at Mac Tools, explains: “We decided to enter this bfa award category this year as we have spent the last two years working with our franchise network and external partners to really raise the profile of Mac Tools the brand. Our growing network of franchisees and popularity with our customers is proof that our efforts are being rewarded – it’s a really positive story for franchising!”
