OPINION: Let’s work on Euro franchising ignorance

Let’s work on Euro franchising ignorance National Franchise Week has just ended. I know, because among my bit parts on the national stage these days is the presidency of the British Franchise Association (BFA). In my six years in that role, British franchising’s turnover has doubled to around pounds 7.5 billion and the sector now directly and indirectly employs 300,000. All this, I’ll bet, is news to 90 per cent of you.
