After 10 years he left his position of Area Sales Manager for Lloyds TSB Financial Services to set up in business for himself. With his background and experience of sales management and recruitment he decided to personally invest in a franchise business opportunity offered to him within the recruitment industry. This move enabled Nick to gain the valuable experience of starting up his own business... but with the support of an established franchise brand and proven successful business system.

In 2001 Nick was offered a position as National Business Development Manager for a small management consultancy company. This involved working with the existing business owners and preparing the franchise business model to enable the company to launch nationally as a franchisor. This role was initially very challenging as it involved capturing the unique IPR offering of this successful consultancy business and then preparing both training and marketing strategies to support the national growth aspirations. Over the following three years Nick headed up the marketing team and successfully recruited a network of 40+ franchisees.

Over the last seven  years Nick has enjoyed running his own successful business consultancy company based in Portugal and has worked at board level within many large development and construction companies in overseas property markets. After making a decision to return to the UK in May 2011 with his family Nick is now looking forward to sharing his knowledge and experiences with business owners who have aspirations to expand both nationally and Internationally via the franchise model.
