New networking event for franchisees launched in Manchester this June

Being in business for yourself, but not by yourself, is one of the most commonly cited benefits of investing in a franchise. Typically this applies to the support of a franchisor and franchisees within an immediate network, but the potential of the franchise industry as a whole is often left untapped.

The Franchisee Networking Lunch on Friday 21 June 2019 will allow existing franchisees from a range of business sectors to connect, exchange ideas and identify transferable best practice from other brands.

Taking place within The Northern Franchise Exhibition at EventCity, Manchester, attendees will enjoy a complimentary lunch at noon before getting stuck into focussed round table discussions hosted by Aaseem Mulji. As founder of MallXpert which provides brands with low-cost, high-impact retail kiosks in walkways of shopping centres, Aaseem is uniquely placed to comment on retail trends.

Over the past 10 years, he has built up the business from scratch to the largest in-mall retailer in Europe. He’ll be sharing his thoughts on the evolution of retail, emerging trends and how franchisees can best leverage this knowledge to their advantage before opening up the floor for further discussion. 

Tickets for the event will also grant free access to The Northern Franchise Exhibition, so those wishing to make a day of it will be able to explore the wider event from 1.30pm.

Exclusively for existing franchisees, space at this event is strictly limited so for further information or to reserve your complimentary place email Anna.Booth@vmgl.com
