Signs Express sales director Tony Marsh joined the board of British Franchise Association (BFA) and sits on the quality and standards committee.
He said: “Being approached about the position and then being voted in really focused my thoughts on the franchise industry as a whole, and what I could achieve as part of the board. As someone with a vested interest in franchising, I’m excited to sit on the board and am looking forward to playing a part in the changes we hope to see in the industry.”
Founded in, 1977 by major franchise companies in the UK, the BFA was formed to act in the interests of the industry as a whole in assessing and accrediting franchising companies. Historically, the BFA has been seen as a trade association for franchisors, but with more franchisees joining it is moving towards a much more wholly encompassing representative body.
