Among numerous contenders spanning various industries, Barking Mad has ranked 59th in the esteemed Elite Franchise Top 100 (EF100) – a title it will proudly hold throughout the duration of 2024.
Sponsored by HSBC UK, since 2017, the EF100 has evolved into a cornerstone of the annual calendar in the UK’s franchising arena. It meticulously assesses franchisors across a myriad of criteria – spanning the scale and velocity of their growth to their vital contributions in empowering franchisees and enhancing the wellbeing of the communities they serve.
“When assessing candidates, we take a comprehensive approach – considering factors such as their revenue, expansion metrics, and the quality of their training and support systems for franchisees. In this year’s judging, we also factored in how well brands have weathered the challenges posed by the ongoing financial crisis. Achieving a position on this list is a clear testament to the extraordinary achievements of the brands that consistently set the gold standard for franchise management,” said Anita Roberts, Franchise Director at HSBC UK.
Even in the face of a challenging and constantly evolving economic environment, the past year has witnessed franchises such as Barking Mad endure and flourish, thanks to its resilient operational framework and proven business models.
“We are so thrilled to have been recognised for the 6th year running, as one of the UK’s Top 100 franchise opportunities. Despite the challenges of the past few years, we continue to work tirelessly with our franchisees to help them grow and develop their businesses, as well as welcoming many new members to the network.
We consistently seek partnerships with entrepreneurs who share a passion for dogs, allowing us to extend our top-rated dog care services to new regions throughout the UK and Ireland. Our franchise owners build prosperous and thriving ventures, benefiting from the guidance and experience of our fantastic support team and leading national brand.
