FDS offer experienced franchise consultants and we would be happy to point our customers in their direction so they receive the best possible advice. At NatWest/RBS, we have had a very good relationship with FDS for many years. This is mainly due to the fact that we have seen some good advice being given to franchisors, both new and established, over a very long period of time. FDS are a very well respected franchise consultancy and have been trading very successfully for 30 years. We certainly have no hesitation in recommending them to existing franchisors or to new businesses that are thinking of franchising - this is because of the excellent service that they give to those clients. I have worked alongside FDS Franchise Consultant Gordon Patterson for 14 years, and in this time, Gordon has helped me to successfully franchise two domiciliary care businesses: one of which is Caremark. As the managing director of a business that has launched a franchise network within the last 12 months, I can empathise with those currently considering franchising as a means of expansion. "I had toyed with the idea of franchising the Mahmoods business for quite a while," recalls Tariq Mahmood. "However, I could not find a company I liked or trusted enough to help me take the next step. I visited the National Franchise Exhibition held at Birmingham NEC and met Franchise Development Services (FDS)." "Jo and I sought help from FDS North when we decided we wanted to franchise the Puddle Ducks business model," explains Tracy Townend. "We needed help developing the franchise package so that we could offer prospective franchise owners a 'business in a box'." In 2005 we engaged FDS as consultants to create the CeX franchise opportunity and from the beginning found them to be open, innovative and flexible in their professional approach. Following three years of profitable trading, our Fleet Mobile Tyres business was firmly established and ready to be franchised. Finding the right consultant to help us franchise our business was crucial, I interviewed several leading consultancy firms before deciding on Franchise Development Services (FDS), who we met at the National Franchise Exhibition at Birmingham NEC. FDS were by far the most superior in terms of knowledge and experience. 'We decided to franchise our business because we required a stronger hold on our growing network. We sought advice from FDS because they had an excellent reputation. FDS were incredibly supportive and helpful- identifying areas for improvement and suggesting ways of developing our business model in order to ensure we could franchise our business effectively and appeal to a much wider audience." Within the first three years of trading our domestic cleaning company Well Polished experienced rapid growth, to the point where the business was receiving more and more enquires from outside of the area it operated. "Northwood was established by Andy Goodson in Portsmouth 1995 and now has 68 branches across the length and breadth of the United Kingdom. Andy decided to franchise the business model in 1999 when it became clear what an incredible success it had been." "FDS Northern has been a critical part of the franchise process for us, helping us to decide where we wanted to go and how to get there. Tony and his team understood our business and our passion for the product and put the foundations in place to help us grow." Richard Wood "Having been in franchising for some time, I commissioned FDS Southern to undertake a consultancy work programme for LMI. The period of working together proved of immense value to strengthening our franchise system. I only wish that we had commissioned FDS Southern at an earlier stage. The services provided were very professional and of immense help in enhancing our own franchise growth and development programme." Ray King, Managing Director 'I have used The Franchise Magazine now for seven years in my role as Sales Director for ServiceMaster and during this time I have spent around 20% of my budget year on year. If The Franchise Magazine had not lived up to my expectations of leads I would have readjusted my budget downwards. I will continue to use The Franchise Magazine in the future and recommend any franchisor who is looking to increase leads to do the same.' Ken Dennis, Franchise Sales Director "The Franchise Magazine has given Snack-in-the-Box an extremely positive response. Investing in it is money well spent."
