Elsewhere, One Stop and The ZipYard have been shortlisted for the Emerging Franchisor of the Year award, which awards companies that have been franchising for five years or less, whilst Home Instead Senior Care is among the finalists for the Customer Focus Award.

“Thanks to the calibre of entries, we’ve arrived at a list of businesses that really highlight the diversity found in modern franchising,” said Andy Brattesani, UK head of franchising for HSBC.

“The finalists, a strong combination of established and newer franchisors, should be very proud to have been shortlisted for their dedication to exceptional business practices. We look forward to hearing more about their success at the judging.”
