Industry Research

The latest industry survey results are bought to you by the British Franchise Association (BFA) and NIC Local, and for the first time the survey results will be housed in a new British Franchise Journal. The British Franchise Journal is an essential resource for anyone involved in or interested in the franchising industry. It is dedicated to delivering the latest franchising industry trends and data, valuable insights, and best practices that can support franchisors, franchisees, potential investors, and industry partners. 

Pip Wilkins QFP
CEO, BFA

As CEO of the British Franchise Association, I’m thrilled to introduce the first edition of the British Franchise Journal. This resource offers key insights into the latest trends and opportunities shaping the future of UK franchising. 

Franchising in the UK is evolving rapidly, and whether you’re an experienced franchisor, a potential franchisee, or just beginning to explore the world of franchising, the Journal provides expert guidance and valuable perspectives to support your journey. 

John Spencer
Group Chair, NIC

As a former Chairman of the BFA and long-standing Member with over 25 years of experience in franchising, I understand the importance of the British Franchise Journal to our sector and recognise how much it has been missed in recent years. We viewed sponsoring the 2024 Journal as an opportunity to support the BFA and the franchise community. Our goal is to ensure that the journal provides a comprehensive overview of the UK franchise sector.  

The 2024 British Franchise Journal

The British Franchise Journal serves as a comprehensive guide, offering expert analysis, case studies, and actionable advice that can be applied to real-world franchise operations. Whether you’re looking to enhance your franchise recruitment strategies, explore new market opportunities, or stay informed about the latest regulatory changes, the British Franchise Journal provides the knowledge and tools necessary to succeed.
