Home Instead Senior Care is proud to announce its shortlisting for the British Franchise Association’s 2016 Franchisor of the Year Award - the prestigious accolade recognising the UK’s exemplar franchisor.

As the 2013 Gold winner of the coveted franchise industry honour, Home Instead would be thrilled to add the 2016 award to its achievements, as a reflection of its continuing commitment to franchising underpinned by the most robust principles.

And as the UK’s No 1 homecare franchise network, Home Instead is thrilled to be shortlisted for the BFA’s 2016 Franchisee Recruitment Award too – which makes the bespoke brand one of only two businesses to be shortlisted twice this year.

With 175 offices across the UK, Home Instead has recruited a franchise network made up of caring entrepreneurs, franchisees who are running successful businesses and making a difference to society at the same time. Through their business endeavours, our caring entrepreneurs are making quality homecare a genuine choice for ageing populations in their territories.

Home Instead has 145 carefully mapped territories available, for franchisees who feel passionate about becoming part of its mission – to change the face of ageing.

The British Franchise Association’s annual franchisor awards are in their 27th year and recognise franchising at its best across the UK's £15bn franchise sector.

In awarding the Franchisor of the Year Award trophy, judges will be looking for a business that demonstrates a passion for and commitment to ethical franchising, evidence of strong infrastructure and support for their network ensuring that franchisees have the best possible environment in which to succeed and reach their full potential.

To take home the Franchisee Recruitment Award, the winner will need to evidence that it isn’t just about the process, is about recruiting the right franchisees for the long haul and showing how you have helped them achieve success.

Ruth Brown, Head of Franchise Development at Home Instead Senior Care, said: “Bringing home the Franchisor of the Year award for the second time and scooping the Franchisee Recruitment trophy would mark out our homecare brand for the ethics that we live and breathe every day, year after year. We’re over the moon to be shortlisted for this duo of awards. Even more so because we’re one of only two businesses to be shortlisted twice in 2016.”
