As Belvoir prepares to celebrate 15 years as an award-winning franchisor, its first franchise owner Andy Campbell, is also planning a party.
June 24 will be a red-letter day for Campbell, of Belvoir Moray in Scotland, as it marks his 15 years in business.
“In 1996 I successfully applied for redundancy after a 16 year career in the RAF and wanted a new challenge,” said Campbell. “I saw a Belvoir advertisement and was confident this was something I could do, as it would fit well with my lifestyle and allow me to become my own boss.
“A franchise offered more back up than becoming a sole trader and I contacted Mike Goddard, the Belvoir CEO, who also had a background in the RAF. After a successful meeting and initial training, I became Belvoir’s very first franchise owner.
