Oven Wizards becomes full member of the bfa
Published: 21 January 2016
Oven-cleaning service, Oven Wizards, has been upgraded to full member of the British Franchise Association (bfa), in recognition of its franchising performance.
This high level of bfa membership is only reserved for franchisors that have demonstrated successful trading over an extended period of time. What’s more, the business must pass the accreditation process, which includes an examination of franchisee performance and the opportunity for confidential feedback.
Kelly Blackmore-Lee, head of compliance and finance for the bfa, says: “The attainment of full membership is a testament to the long-term investment in ethical franchising shown by Oven Wizards. Mark Abbott and John Graham have worked hard to develop their network according to high standards and in support of their franchisees. We look forward to working with them as that development continues.”
Oven Wizards has also had a record-breaking year. Demand for franchisees' services was at its highest-ever level in the past 12 months, with December especially busy for them. Managing director John Graham said that demand has extended into 2016 in what has been an excellent start to the year for the company.
He comments: “Becoming a full member of the bfa is fantastic news for Oven Wizards. This is a further acknowledgement by the bfa that the work we have been doing behind the scenes to ensure new and existing franchisees have the best possible support to run their own successful oven cleaning businesses, is paying dividends.
“We take great pride in helping our franchisees grow their own businesses, under the Oven Wizards brand name, in their chosen territories.”
The bfa is the voice of ethical franchising in the UK and as such has strict and extensive criteria for companies wishing to become accredited to pass before they can become members.
Graham concludes: “It is great to have achieved full-membership status in such a relatively short period of time. We look forward to sharing our successful business ethos with even more new recruits to our community, as the Oven Wizards brand becomes even stronger.”
