It has been another month of success and celebrations for the UK\u2019s carer-centric in-home care franchise, Visiting Angels, which has been shortlisted in this year\u2019s prestigious BFA HSBC Franchise of the Year Awards\u2019 Leadership & Culture category. Making it to the finals of the \u2018Oscars of the franchise industry\u2019 for the third year in a row has further reinforced Visiting Angels\u2019 proof of concept, which has been redefining the role of carers in society and delivering a new standard of person-centred care since the brand\u2019s UK launch in 2017.<\/p>\n

A care provider that has shown a real passion and commitment to its vision and values, Visiting Angels has become a leading franchise thanks to its trailblazing approach and devotion to acting with its carers at the heart of the business. Putting carers before anyone else had never been seen in the UK\u2019s care industry before Visiting Angels launched with the aim of revitalising and reforming the working conditions within the sector. Now, having reached the finals of the UK\u2019s most prestigious franchise award event, Visiting Angels has further evidenced its industry-leading framework that has contributed heavily to its rapid growth, welcoming 100 carers per month to its nationwide network of 49 franchisees.<\/p>\n

With Visiting Angels\u2019 commitment to wellbeing and championing a culture of care within the business, Managing Director Dan Archer is delighted to be recognised as a leading light within the UK franchise industry\u2019s trade association in a year already filled with successes.<\/p>\n

\u201cReaching the finals of an award that means so much in our ongoing mission of reforming the care industry through protecting and prioritising the wellbeing of our incredible carers is fantastic,\u201d said Dan. \u201cThis award is a testament to Visiting Angels\u2019 network of passionate and devoted franchisees, who equally understand the need for care providers around the UK to practise what they preach.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the back of already being given so many reasons to celebrate this year, including being finalists in the Stars in Social Care Awards, winning the Disruptive Franchise Awards\u2019 Social Impact Franchise of the Year and personally being recognised as SME MD of the Year, this is certainly the icing on the cake!\u201d<\/p>\n

Founded in 1977, the British Franchise Association (BFA) is a self-regulating governing body, formed to accredit and promote franchise systems that meet strict ethical and business criteria. The BFA HSBC British Franchise Awards is a staple event for brands serious about celebrating and supporting excellence in ethical franchising. The prestigious event celebrates the best of the best in franchising, recognising dedication, innovation and devotion to business and the franchise industry.<\/p>\n

Pip Wilkins, Chief Executive of the BFA said, \u201cWe would like to offer our enormous congratulations to all this year\u2019s finalists. We received a huge amount of entries, and it was wonderful to read of all the amazing work being done in the UK franchising sector. We applaud our finalists for their enthusiasm, dedication and tenacity and for c13ontinuing to uphold the highest standards of the association.\u201d<\/p>\n

UK Head of Franchising – Commercial Banking at sponsors HSBC Bank Gillian Morris said, \u201cShortlisting candidates for the HSBC BFA Awards is one of the toughest challenges of the year. Once more the candidates were a very high standard, and it was very tough to shortlist just a few entries.\u00a0I was really impressed at the diversity of entries across brands and sectors which is a great testament of the strength and reach of the franchise industry.\u00a0I am looking forward to meeting the finalists and wish them all luck!\u201d<\/p>\n
