SOME QUOTES FROM MEMBERS:
"Whilst interviewing potential franchisees during the last year, bfa membership has certainly been uppermost in most candidates minds and I would suggest more so than in any previous year that I have known"

"Dyno-Rod was a founding member of the British Franchise Association, and we are still very actively involved. We continue to benefit directly from our membership - in the recruitment of franchisees and from the experiences of our fellow members and on a wider level, it also ensures we are part of the voice of franchising. Only if we work together as part of the bfa, will we be able to protect and develop franchising, and enable more people to run their own successful businesses"

ON THE BFA REGIONAL FORUM
"I found the day to be very worthwhile; it is much, much better to hear the views of fellow franchisors on topics that without this type of forum could only be obtained at costly meetings with Lawyers and Consultants"
