Scottish Franchise Week

Franchising plays a large role in Scottish business, with nearly 500 different franchise brands operating in Scotland today, accounting for well over 2,000 individual franchisee businesses.

Despite the economic challenges that many have faced over the past couple of years, franchising has shown itself to be a robust opportunity, either allowing businesses to strengthen their plans for growth, or providing new lives for many looking to be their own boss.

During Scottish Franchise Week a whole host of events and educational platforms are put in place to help raise the awareness of franchising in Scotland. The Scottish Business Breakfast remains the key event with 300 business people attending, but in recent years, parliamentary receptions, dinners, seminars and exhibitions have all played their part.

Scottish Franchise Week 2012

The ninth Scottish Franchise Week, sponsored by Lloyds TSB, will take place from 30th April to 4th May and will feature a range of events and activities aimed at highlighting the importance of franchising in Scotland.

Now a firmly established and significant event during the week, the 2012 Scottish Franchise Business Breakfast will be held on Thursday 3rd May at the Hilton Glasgow and will feature a keynote presentation from championship athlete Roger Black.
