Franchisees across the UK come together for activ’s standout event of the year, reflecting on growth, innovation and shared success.
Leading UK-based marketing franchise, activ, hosted its highly anticipated Annual Franchise Forum 2025, bringing together franchise partners from across the country for a day of learning, strategy, and celebration. The event achieved an 88% average feedback score for delivery and value, marking another successful milestone for one of the best UK franchises empowering individuals to work from home and be their own boss.
Held annually, the forum provides an opportunity for activ’s growing network to connect face-to-face, hear updates from head office, and align on the business’s strategic priorities. The 2025 event, led by CEO Katie Bullon, covered innovation rollouts, AI development, service enhancements and collaborative sessions on improving client outcomes.
Franchise partners described the event as “worthwhile as always,” “exciting,” and “very well organised and clear.”
“Our Annual Franchise Forum is designed to bring clarity, energy and momentum to the year ahead,” said Katie Bullon, CEO of activ Marketing Franchise. “The feedback we’ve received reflects how valued this day is across our network – and why it continues to set us apart as a franchise that truly supports and invests in its people. There’s always room to grow, and our feedback system ensures we’re listening, refining and aiming even higher each year.”
The day also included activ’s Annual Franchisee Awards, recognising outstanding contributions and celebrating business growth across its network of local marketing consultants.
Franchisee Mark, who attended the forum, shared his view:
“It was a great initiative with some really good learning points. It’s always good to reflect and set new priorities, and this forum gave us the space to do that while reconnecting as a team.”
With a growing number of partners joining its BFA approved franchise model, activ continues to position itself as one of the most attractive opportunities for marketers, freelancers and career changers looking to run their own business with full support and national credibility.
