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!” If you’re ready for a new challenge and would like to work for yourself, you can find out more about the opportunity on our website.http://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001119.htmlhttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001119.htmlCheck out the fantastic new impact wrencheshttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001118.htmlhttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001118.htmlPodium on race one for the Teamhttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001116.htmlhttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001116.htmlAn update ahead of the start of the BSB season with the Mac Tools sponsored MSS Bathams Kawasaki teamhttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001117.htmlhttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001117.htmlMac Tools now exclusive tool supplier to Big Foot UKhttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001115.htmlhttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001115.htmlBTCC Round 1 Brands Hatch updatehttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001113.htmlhttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001113.htmlHave a look at our new range of workshop equipmenthttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001112.htmlhttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001112.htmlFranchisee winners during 2011http://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001111.htmlhttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001111.htmlMac Tools new franchisees in 2011http://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001108.htmlhttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001108.htmlMac Tools announces a new sponsorship deal with BTCC Team Dynojet / Frank Wrathall http://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001109.htmlhttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001109.html2012 NASCAR Season Kicks Off This Weekend With Budweiser Shootout.http://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001106.htmlhttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001106.htmlMac Tools stand Autosport show 2012http://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001103.htmlhttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001103.htmlAnother new franchisee for Mac Toolshttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001104.htmlhttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001104.htmlGraeme gets on the road for Mac Tools in Ayrhttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001100.htmlhttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001100.htmlThe Mac Team with Andy Milne's new US truck (Mac Dealer Watford) and Julian Smith's Drift carhttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001098.htmlhttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001098.htmlA great win for Marcos Ambrose - check out the videohttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001097.htmlhttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001097.htmlSee us at the National Franchise show - NEC 30th Sept / 1st Oct 2011 http://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001060.htmlhttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001060.htmlFOUR MAN MSS COLCHESTER SQUAD KAWASAKI ANNOUNCED FOR SUPERBIKE AND SUPERSTOCKhttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001057.htmlhttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001057.htmlFrom using tools to selling tools, Dean’s career change is Mac-nificenthttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001056.htmlhttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/001056.htmlJanuary 13-16.

Hello, my name is Jack Bleakley and I am 14 years old. I started my passion for motorbike riding at the age of 6-7, from there I got a Puch magnum-x automatic and rode it around fields and tracks nearby, after a year or so on that I progressed to a semi geared bike called a Hongdou gy110 and once again it came to me within an instance, I rode it once and then my dad bought me a 4 geared bike with a clutch, once I had rode it to its full potential that is when I bought a race bike that was called a Suzuki RM65 and joined a biking club called Wirral Off Road (W.O.R).I rode my new bike across fields, hills and slate etc, hence this was enduro. I rode and looked up to some of the top riders. All of that is in the past now though because I am having such a better time and a good racing experience at my new sport called track racing. We looked into road racing and I joined a club and raced an automatic Jawa GP50, I only rode that a few times until one race I was qualifying first until I sadly got knocked off by another rider. I now race a bike called a Metrakit 80 and race upon many good riders, lately I have been riding on one and more to come of Britain’s best and biggest tracks such as; Brands Hatch, Silverstone, Snetterton, Cadwell and many more. I have a very big passion for motorcycle racing and I do not just like it for an interesting hobby. Motorcycle racing for me is not just for the fun, entertaining and making new friends that it is but I do it for the chance of that one day I can be up there with the stars that I idolise, I would love to get myself up there with the leaders of motorcycle racing and I want to take my talent and progress it onwards until I reach jackpot and ride my bike to victory…MotoGP. http://www.mactools.co.uk/news/000935.htmlhttp://www.mactools.co.uk/news/000935.htmlELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS When you visit Stanley Sites or send e-mails to us, you are communicating with us electronically.
