Convention hosted by Olympic Swimmer Mark Foster

Early September we hosted our annual convention inviting all of our franchisees from the UK and Ireland to attend.

This year we saw the weekend taking an Olympic theme in both a nod to the London 2012 Games and the fantastic key speaker and guest host medal-winning Olympic Swimmer Mark Foster.

Held in Norwich, the convention weekend consisted of seminars and a supplier's forum, giving the franchisees a perfect opportunity to catch up with key suppliers, learn about new business initiatives and have a first look at new products to hit the market.

Culminating with an awards evening and dinner on the Saturday night, the group helped to raise over £3,000 in the fundraising auction for Norfolk charity Nelson's Journey.

A big congratulation to all the franchisees who entered, the standards were extremely high again this year.
