Leadership from a former franchisee who’s been in your shoes
Our leader – Ed Reid – moved from being a franchisee to take over as franchisor with his business partner Mags Fuller back in 2017. Ed’s been sat right where you are now and knows the TAB journey personally – he’s committed to helping franchisees by sharing his experience. And Ed's original TAB business is still trading, the franchisee who purchased it has grown the business further too!
As UK franchisor we still run a few territories keeping our finger on the pulse and testing new initiatives, before developing further with the network.
We have been in the UK since 2009, but actually trace our roots back to the USA when in 1990 our founder first developed the business concept to share the power he had experienced of non-exec directors. There are now over 400 TAB franchisees serving over 5,000 business owners each month across 25 countries.
34 territories operating in the UK, 75+ available across the country
“If you’ve been successful in your business career and you’re ready to enjoy the emotional and financial rewards of giving back, we look forward to exploring the TAB opportunity with you.” Ed Reid – TAB UK Franchisor

Doing business with a difference
Franchise owners from The Alternative Board (TAB) recently took a well-earned break from the boardroom to catch up, unwind and enjoy some time together outdoors, with not one but two regional events in Keswick and Amersham.
It gave the network the opportunity to catch up, socialise, share ideas and occasionally talk about business.
A global leader in providing peer advisory boards and tailored business coaching. TAB has supported thousands of business owners across the country, providing them with a trusted community of peers, strategic insights and business coaching to help them to develop successful businesses. So, it is only natural for TAB owners to want to connect with each other not only on doing business, but also socially.
The events were a great success with comments such as:
“A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the Northern and Southern socials—brilliant company, lots of laughs, and memories we won’t forget. We’re already looking forward to doing it all again next year.”
“Great fun, as last year! Big thanks to HQ for organising, and lovely to see you all.”
“Events like these show the camaraderie and support we have for each other across the network,” commented Ed Reid, Managing Director of TAB UK. “It was fantastic to bring people together something which our franchise owners do so well in their local areas and what TAB does best.”
