The Franchise Magazine:
The British Franchise Association (bfa) has named MOLLY MAID franchise owner Sandra Redmond as the Gold Award-winning Franchisee of the Year. Sandra, who has owned the Wimbledon Molly Maid franchise for over 14 years, was acknowledged by the judging panel for achieving continued sales and profit growth over the past two years in spite of the economic downturn, which reflected this year’s theme ‘Success in Challenging Times’.
Sandra accepted her award at a ceremony and black-tie dinner held at the International Convention Centre in Birmingham. Other franchise owners honored during the event were Silver Award winner Tamsin Brewis, of Water Babies (Banbury), and Bronze Award winner Mark Fordham, of TaxAssist Accountants (Herpenden). “This makes me so very proud,” said Sandra. “Gaining the title of Franchisee of the Year in such a challenging and highly competitive market is an enormous accolade. It is tremendous recognition for all the hard work my staff have put into the business and I thank all those who have supported me this year. This has certainly spurred me on to achieve even greater success next year!”
