We’re delighted to be sharing some very exciting news with you… we made it!
Kitchen Makeovers has officially made it onto the prestigious Elite Franchise Top 100(EF100) 2024, ranked second overall for kitchen renovation brands!
For the first time since launching in 2018, we have come out on top of hundreds of entries across brands from a multitude of sectors to further affirm our unmissable franchise opportunity.
The EF100, established in 2017 in association with HSBC, recognises the sector’s brightest businesses. A panel of 24 specialist judges meticulously assessed us against eight key criteria amongst hundreds of other franchisors – from the rate of our growth and ambition to our ongoing contribution to the communities we serve up and down the country. These criteria, as well as our unwavering commitment to embracing innovation and being receptive to the needs of today’s customers, have secured our stance as THE home improvement brand for prospects to consider in 2024 and beyond.
“When assessing candidates, we consider factors such as a franchise’s revenue, expansion and quality of their training and support systems,” said Anita Roberts, Franchise Director at HSBC UK and one of this year’s 24 specialist judges. “Achieving such a high position on this list is a clear testament to the extraordinary achievements of the brands that consistently set the gold standard.”
Scott English, Brand Director of Elite Franchise, extended his congratulations for this significant accomplishment: “Making it into the top 100 is something to be unbelievably proud of. Each year, we judge using our key criteria, as well as evaluating the frameworks in place to overcome challenges and create long-term success. These brands’ attitudes and innovations continue to amaze us, and they deserve all the recognition.”
The franchise industry contributes over £17 billion to the UK economy, and more than 700,000 people are employed in franchising across the country. Despite a difficult economic climate, the last year has seen franchise brands like us survive and thrive thanks to our robust infrastructure and proven business model. More than ever, consumers are seeking a cost-effective, environmentally friendly and efficient kitchen renovation service as opposed to the time-consuming, unsustainable and expensive approach of yesteryear. Thanks to us, the UK is waving goodbye to starting kitchen renovations from scratch and saying hello to reinvigoration and reinvention!
“We’re immensely proud to have become an established brand on such a widely regarded and prestigious list,” added Kitchen Makeovers’ founder, Will Frankling. “In our ongoing mission to reform and redefine what high-quality, efficient kitchen renovations look like for consumers today, making it onto the EF100 is a huge step forward as we attract more passionate, community-driven entrepreneurs. This is still very much the beginning for us, and we’re very excited to expand and evolve in 2024 and beyond with this huge accolade driving us forward.”
Following a year that saw us welcome seven new franchisees and serve 100s of customers nationwide, it’s an honour to proudly join the list of the UK’s leading franchise brands.
