Already named as the UK\u2019s number one automotive franchise and sixth best opportunity overall for 2021, Snap-on Tools now adds another award to its already impressive collection. The \u2018HSBC Elite Franchise Exceptional Performance Award 2021\u2019 was presented at a virtual ceremony in March. <\/p>\n

All 100 franchise brands that made the now prominent \u2018EF100\u2019 list were eligible for the award. But demonstrating over a century of success, dedication to its franchise network and continued commitment to innovation, Snap-on stood out to the judges. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re incredibly proud to have Snap-on Tools as the first ever recipient of the Exceptional Performance Award,\u201d said Andrew Brattesani, Head of UK Franchising at HSBC. \u201cWe chose Snap-on as a business that has been exceptional for so long and one that is still demonstrating strong innovation and support for its franchisees to enable them to be successful operators. And this really has come to the fore in the current crisis. Massive congratulations to the whole team.\u201d <\/p>\n

The EF100, established in 2017 in association with HSBC, is the franchising list to watch. It recognises the sector\u2019s brightest businesses and ranks them according to a broad range of criteria; from their financial performance and heritage, to their contribution to the community and the way they embrace innovation. <\/p>\n

The franchise industry contributes over \u00a317billion to the UK economy and more than 700,000 people are employed in franchising across the country. Despite a difficult economic climate, the last 12 months has seen franchise brands like Snap-on Tools survive and thrive thanks to their robust infrastructures and proven business models. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis award truly demonstrates that Snap-on Tools has performed exceptionally and has shone out amongst any other brand in HSBC’s eyes,\u201d said Scott English, Brand Director of Elite Franchise. <\/p>\n

Snap-on UK Franchise Manager, Lisa Law, took delivery of the prestigious award at the brand\u2019s UK head office in Kettering. \u201cIn the last few months, we\u2019ve been named Franchisor of the Year by the British Franchise Association and number one automotive and van-based franchise in the EF100. This latest award really does show that the effort and passion we channel into supporting our franchisees is industry-leading and makes a difference. The award isn\u2019t down to any one person, it\u2019s an absolute team effort and we couldn\u2019t be prouder.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the first quarter of 2021 alone, Snap-on welcomed seven new franchisees into its already 400-strong UK network. In response to the global pandemic, the brand moved its US training to a dedicated, covid-secure location in the UK and new franchisees are currently averaging healthy sales each week. Thanks to ongoing marketing and support initiatives, sales to customers for the UK franchise network as a whole are up for Q1.<\/p>\n
