At Blossom Home Care, we passionately believe in setting ever-improving standards for franchising.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This extends not just to the fantastic levels of support we offer our own franchisees and their clients, but also to the franchise industry as a whole.<\/p>\n

To that end, Blossom Home Care co-founder Fiona Leggott has proudly assumed a new voluntary role with Encouraging Women into Franchising. EWiF is a not-for-profit organisation run entirely by volunteers that provides advice and guidance to women looking for a route into the franchise industry.<\/p>\n

Fiona will offer guidance to current and would-be franchisees and franchisors across the entire North East region.<\/p>\n

To find out more about the role and what it entails, we sat down with Fiona for a chat over a cuppa and biscuits\u2026<\/p>\n

So Fiona, how did this role come about?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I first signed up to EWiF a couple of years ago, but there didn\u2019t seem to be any events occurring in the North East. When renewing my membership, I asked about this and was informed that they were currently in the process of appointing a new team to oversee the region.<\/p>\n

It was then we discussed about me coming on board in a voluntary role to support the regional chairwoman, Angela Sterling, and I gladly accepted!<\/p>\n

What will you be doing in the role? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Primarily I will be coordinating networking to strengthen EWiF\u2019s links, co-chairing meetings in the North East, and supporting national events. I will also be on hand to act as a mentor for franchisees and franchisors in the area who are looking for support and advice.<\/p>\n

How much are you looking forward to getting started?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m really excited! Joining EWiF is a fantastic opportunity to get to know more people within the franchising world, encourage networking across the region, and support a hugely worthwhile cause: getting more women into franchising.<\/p>\n

What are you hoping to achieve during your time with EWiF?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My aim is to help build and nurture a proactive, supportive, positive group in the North East. It\u2019s been proven that women are more reluctant to enter the franchising industry, often because the expectations involved cause anxiety. But a lot of people \u2013 not just women \u2013 are still unaware of the many key benefits franchising offers, not least the incredible support that is available.<\/p>\n

Fantastic! Lastly, how will Blossom Home Care benefit from the new role?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I really hope it showcases what we\u2019re doing with the brand on a wider, yet more personable level in the franchise sector. Hopefully people will also get to see what a fantastic franchise opportunity we offer as well. But irrespective of that, my aim is simple: supporting the EWiF network as a whole to ensure everyone\u2019s time in franchising is a massive success.<\/p>\n

How can I get started with Blossom Home Care?<\/h4>\n

Do you want to feel truly supported and valued as a franchise business owner? Then Blossom Home Care is the choice for you.<\/p>\n

As well as gaining the benefit of our immense level of support and expertise, you will be joining a nationally recognised, award-winning company. In doing so, you will become the owner of a highly lucrative, easy-to-run business that will help the local community by changing the face of care in the home.<\/p>\n
