Held in March, the conference saw franchise owners from across the UK along with their teams, get together again at the stunning Manchester Central Convention Centre.
Held over two days, this was a packed event culminating in a gala awards evening celebrating the success of the business and its people. There were workshops, presentations, training and keynote speakers, everyone was able to learn & develop, share best practice, engage and meet their peers.
The conference was a great opportunity to also share their vision for the future, whilst being able to celebrate the amazing achievements of the Home Instead network. At the conference, Martin Jones MBE, CEO UK & International at Home Instead said: “It’s only when you look back that we can see how far we have come.”
Home Instead’s annual conference is just one of the ways their network comes together to celebrate their achievements and enjoy themselves. Franchisees also benefit from a strong peer support network, including regular regional meetings and referral networks between neighbouring offices.
Ruth Brown, Chief Operating Officer at Home Instead comments: “We all love coming together for conference; sharing news and updates, all whilst celebrating the extraordinary achievements of our franchise network.
“It has been another year of growth for our franchisees, who benefit from our award-winning guidance, taking them through all aspects of running a home care business, and are therefore able to spend time building a trusted and quality reputation in their local communities. We are a premium brand, offering a premium service.
“We have welcomed some fresh faces to our network, who are enthusiastic to further our mission whilst growing their own successful businesses. But we have also said goodbye to a number of franchisees, who have enjoyed their journey with us, having established profitable businesses which really do make a difference, and gone to sell them on.”
