Elite Franchise, host of the HSBC Elite Franchise Top 100 Ranking, is proud to announce the launch of its first-ever Supplier of the Year award for 2025. This groundbreaking initiative aims to recognise and celebrate the outstanding contributions of suppliers to the franchising industry.
The Elite Franchise Supplier of the Year award is set to become the gold standard for excellence in franchise support services. It will honour businesses that have demonstrated exceptional innovation, comprehensive support, and significant contributions to the franchising community.
The competition is open for entries and will close on the 31st October. Following a thorough evaluation process, the shortlist of finalists will be unveiled on the 2nd December. The anticipation will build over the following months as franchisors and franchisees are encouraged to vote for their favourite brand. The winner will be announced at the prestigious Elite Franchise Top 100 Awards Ceremony on the 13th March, 2025. This event will serve as the perfect stage to recognise and celebrate the outstanding achievements of the winning supplier.
The award is open to a wide range of suppliers, including consultancy firms, legal services, financial services, technology providers, marketing agencies, training companies, product suppliers, and more. Entrants will be judged on four critical areas:
1. Contribution to the franchising community and society
2. Comprehensive support provided to franchise businesses
3. Innovation in products, services, and processes
4. Future plans and growth strategies
“Suppliers play a crucial role in the success and growth of the franchising industry,” said Jodie Marsh, Commercial Director of Elite Franchise. “This award recognises their invaluable contributions and encourages continued excellence and innovation in supporting franchise businesses.”
