At NIC Local, we believe the best way to understand our franchise model is to hear from the people who live and breathe it every day.

Recently, our Head of Franchise Recruitment, Phil Harrison, sat down with The Franchise Marketing Show to discuss a wide range of topics – including the key features of the commercial cleaning sector, leveraging NIC Local’s accreditations and systems to kick-start your business, and what it takes to be a successful part of our network.

Having built and successfully sold his own franchise business, Phil understands the exact feeling of taking the leap of faith from employment to business ownership – and the importance of having franchisor support to make it a success.

Recorded live at the British & International Franchise Exhibition at Olympia London in January 2026, the interview offers a deep dive into the support, scalability, and strategy behind our management franchise – recently crowned as the Highest New Entry at the 2026 HSBC Elite Franchise TOP 100 Awards Ceremony.
