Winner: NEIGHBORLY
While everybody has their own definition of an ’emerging franchisor’ (the IFA uses under 100 units, while others define it as royalty self-sufficient), for the purposes of the Global Franchise Awards, this is a franchise that has expanded beyond its native country. JUDGED BY FISHMAN PR
Winner: LINDEX
Awarded to the legal team which has provided consistently excellent service to the franchise industry, and which has promoted the cause of franchising and whose name has become synonymous with franchising.

Judges were looking for a brand that can demonstrate the highest levels of ongoing support, training, guidance, and coaching for their franchisees, enabling and empowering them to build a successful global career within franchising and demonstrating ethical codes of conduct at all times throughout all areas of the business.
