Are we really almost the end of 2022? It seems like this year has gone by in the blink of an eye. Although we say this every year, it’s hard to believe that we’re on the cusp of 2023 already.
It’s been a buy year for franchising, with many franchises beginning to adjust to post-pandemic times but also dealing with rising inflation and a looming recession on the horizon.
However, despite the turbulent times across the UK, it hasn’t been all doom and gloom! There’s been a lot of success for franchises in the industry, with numerous milestones, awards and accolades pouring in for our clients.
Check out who is winning what in this month’s Franchising News:
