ActionCOACH franchise partner Jon Asquith was named a winner of the Great British Franchisee Awards this week in recognition of the ongoing success he has achieved at his ActionCOACH Sheffield firm. It is the third year in a row ActionCOACH have been acknowledged for their achievements, with Gary Keating taking home the award last year and Kevin Riley triumphing in 2022.

The Great British Franchisee Awards considers areas such as business experience, business growth, staff retention, customer satisfaction, community involvement and inspired leadership to determine noteworthy franchisees across the UK.

Julie Wagstaff, co-founder of ActionCOACH UK, is delighted with the result, paying homage to Jon’s continued hard work and dedication, transforming the lives of the business owners he works with. “Jon is ActionCOACH through and through – his abundant mindset sees him supporting our network of franchise partners every week whilst also running his multi-territory ActionCOACH firm.”

ActionCOACH franchise partners provide dedicated business coaching services throughout the UK, working within their exclusive regions to help businesses realise their full potential. With 99% of franchise partners ready to go the extra mile for their clients, ActionCOACH consistently showcases the transformative power of business coaching¹.

“It’s a real honour to win this award,” said Jon. “Helping business owners in Sheffield achieve their goals is what it’s all about for me – seeing them go from strength to strength, that’s what brings me and our brilliant team great satisfaction!”

Julie Wagstaff also believes that Jon is a brilliant example of how to be successful with the world’s number one business coaching franchise. “Having worked for ActionCOACH for years as our sales guru, he decided to make a difference in his hometown of Sheffield in 2020 by launching his own business coaching franchise. He has certainly walked the walk after his years of valuable advice at head office, growing his business to over £1 million turnover and nearly 200 one-to-one coaching clients. Congratulations Jon and your brilliant team!”

Suzanne Melville at the Great British Franchisee Awards was impressed by how Jon lives and breathes ActionCOACH. “Jon is everything a brand looks for in a franchise partner. He has the added benefit of being an ActionCOACH employee before becoming a franchisee and so has an exceptionally strong understanding of the model. He is passionate about ActionCOACH and always goes above and beyond to help the brand. He is highly respected amongst his peers and by the franchisor. Jon is truly a worthy winner of a Great British Franchisee Award."
