Franchisee Award X-Press Legal Services Owner of X-Press Legal Services franchise office for Central, South West, and North West London, Tom Mannion, has been named as a finalist for the ‘Next Generation’ category at the bfa HSBC British Franchise Awards.

This award is for franchisees 35 and under. The judges are looking for a young franchisee, who has established a profitable franchise and achieved success beyond their years.

Lynne Lister, X-Press Legal Services managing director said, “We are delighted for Tom and his team. Being shortlisted in this category is wonderful, as it celebrates younger people in franchising.  Here at X-Press Legal we believe in the power of all ages being able to set up their own franchise business. Everyone can learn from each other and we are proud that our network of 27 offices all work so closely together.”

Tom set up his X-Press Legal franchise six years ago, aged just 23. He has recently developed his business by providing specialist agricultural and landed estates searches. These searches are far more complex than a standard residential search with issues such as public rights of way and road closures.
