A Gathering of Minds and Opportunities in Bristol
On May 1st, 2024, the vibrant city of Bristol became the hub of inspiration and innovation as we hosted our Annual Franchise Forum (AFF). This much-anticipated event brought together our franchisees from all corners of the nation, celebrating their successes, and sharing invaluable insights.
Why Franchisees Love activ – the best marketing franchise in the uk?
Franchisee Satisfaction at an All-Time High
The forum kicked off with a bang as it was revealed that activ boasts an impressive 82% franchisee satisfaction rate, according to a survey by WorkBuzz. This high satisfaction rate speaks volumes about the support and resources available to every franchisee, ensuring that they can thrive and feel content within the activ community. For potential franchisees, this is a strong indicator of the positive experience awaiting them.
