waved goodbye to 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been another fantastic year for Dyno-Rod, both across our flourishing networks and at head office, thanks to everyone\u2019s continued hard work and commitment.<\/p>\n<p>Before the Christmas break gets into full swing, we\u2019d like to take this opportunity to share some of our year highlights, as well as a preview into our plans for 2025.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"recognition-at-the-british-franchise-awards-2024\"><\/span>Recognition at the British Franchise Awards 2024<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Often referred to as the Oscars of the UK franchising sector, the BFA HSBC UK British Franchise Awards recognise the exceptional achievements of franchisors and franchisees across the nation.<\/p>\n<p>In November, Dyno-Rod were awarded \u2018Highly Commended\u2019 in the prestigious Franchisor of the Year (Established) category, a proud accomplishment for all stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p>This achievement was particularly notable as the competition was fiercer than ever, with circa 25% more brands entering the 2024 awards compared to last year.<\/p>\n<p>Brothers Richard and Dan Bowyer, the dedicated owners and operators of Dyno-Rod East Anglia &amp; North Essex, were also named as one of three finalists in the Best in Class Multi-Unit Single Brand category.<\/p>\n<p>This was a special way to mark the 50th anniversary of the franchise originally set up by their parents.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"named-in-elite-franchises-top-100\"><\/span>Named in Elite Franchise\u2019s TOP 100<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>December saw us place 12th in Elite Franchise\u2019s TOP 100, the prestigious list of the UK\u2019s very best franchises. This is a fantastic achievement, especially given it is the first time Dyno-Rod have ever entered the process.<\/p>\n<p>Franchisors who make the annual list are judged on eight core criteria which gauge entrants on their size, growth, ambitions and contributions made to franchisees and the community. An independent panel of top judges from the franchise sector then score the full top 100 list.<\/p>\n<p>The placing alone is a significant achievement \u2013 however the cherry on top of the cake has been our shortlisting in 3 awards categories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The HSBC sponsored \u2018Exceptional Performance of the Year Award\u2019<\/li>\n<li>The AdSmart from Sky sponsored \u2018Sustainability of the Year Award\u2019<\/li>\n<li>The BusinessForSale sponsored \u2018Innovation of the Year Award\u2019<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This has capped off what has been a phenomenal year of growth, development and recognition for our franchise operations. The entire team are looking forward to the celebration awards evening in March.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"head-office-team-members-becoming-qualified-franchise-professionals\"><\/span>Head office team members becoming Qualified Franchise Professionals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This year saw several members of our head office team achieving Qualified Franchise Professional (QFP) status. This is the formal recognition of professional knowledge and experience in franchising.<\/p>\n<p>This accomplishment further illustrates our unwavering commitment to delivering the highest levels of expertise and support to our franchise network.<\/p>\n<p>By investing in professional development, we ensure our team possesses the knowledge and skills to help franchisees thrive, whether it\u2019s through strategic guidance, operational support, or driving innovation.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lee Parry<\/li>\n<li>Lee Marsden<\/li>\n<li>Cheryl Kershaw-Whittle<\/li>\n<li>Alastair Donson<\/li>\n<li>Nick Doe-Wansey<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"strong-growth-across-the-network\"><\/span>Strong growth across the network<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019re delighted to say franchisees continued to reap the benefits of our Good to Great five-year strategy in 2024, with strong growth recorded across the franchise network.<\/p>\n<p>One of the key elements of this strategy has been diversifying our service offering, which has to date successfully added over \u00a325m in revenue to our franchise network.<\/p>\n<p>This diversification has allowed franchisees to meet a broader range of customer needs and strengthen their market position in their territories.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"renewing-our-support-for-leicester-tigers-down-syndrome-rugby\"><\/span>Renewing our support for Leicester Tigers Down Syndrome Rugby<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In October 2023, Leicester Tigers launched their first-ever Down syndrome rugby team, of which Dyno-Rod became the Official Supporter.<\/p>\n<p>A year on, we recommitted to another season supporting the team. Our investment in the programme helps with securing facilities, staffing, medical costs and providing suitable attire for participants.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"collaboration-with-the-university-of-brighton-to-drive-innovation\"><\/span>Collaboration with the University of Brighton to drive innovation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As part of our Industry and Education initiative, we established a partnership with the University of Brighton with the aim of sparking creative ideas to ensure Dyno-Rod remains a byword for innovation.<\/p>\n<p>Following three months of work, in May our team judged 12 presentations from groups of students. These covered how Dyno-Rod can develop innovative marketing strategies to drive new business.<\/p>\n<p>All presentations were very impressive, with students showcasing their understanding of the Dyno-Road brand and unique ideas to engage younger customers.<\/p>\n<p>What 2025 has in store for Dyno-Rod franchising<\/p>\n<p>After enjoying such an outstanding year across our network, we have more motivation than ever to make 2025 even bigger and better.<\/p>\n<p>As part of our continued Good to Great five-year strategy, extensive plans are in place to continue this year\u2019s growth into the next 12-month period.<\/p>\n<p>This will see new franchisees joining the network, aided by a diversification of our franchise offering. This will significantly benefit the existing network and provide franchisees with more potential than ever to thrive under the Dyno-Rod flag.<\/p>\n<p>We will share more details about this in the new year. But for now, we\u2019ll leave the last word to Lee Parry, Dyno-Rod\u2019s Network Performance &amp; Strategy Manager:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d like to take this opportunity to send my best wishes to our incredible franchise network, valued clients, and trusted partners \u2013 I hope you all enjoyed a very happy Christmas and new year period.
