A Celebration of Franchising Excellence
The AFA is delighted to announce its First Annual Awards Ceremony, celebrating the incredible achievements made not only by our members, but the wider, UK franchising community as a whole
With categories covering franchisors, franchisees, suppliers and partners, the AFA Awards will recognise and reward these valuable contributions, all of which are essential to the development and growth of this rapidly evolving sector.
This glittering, black-tie event is your exclusive opportunity to rub shoulders with the crème de la crème of the franchising sector, network and build relationships with other franchising professionals who can help you take your business to where you want it to be. The evening will kick off with a champagne reception, followed by a sumptuous, gala dinner and awards ceremony.

Why nominate?
Whether you’re a franchisor, franchisee or supplier, being nominated for and subsequently winning an industry award will help raise the credibility of your business and set you apart from your competition.
Nominating your franchisees is also an incredibly effective way of motivating them and highlighting their achievements, as well as promoting the success of your own franchise network.
If you’re a franchisee, why not nominate your own, inspirational franchise leader or a supplier who has supported you throughout your business journey and enabled your business to grow?
Why sponsor an award?
Sponsoring an award is guaranteed to raise the profile of your brand within the franchising community and position your organisation as a major player within the sector. As a supplier, award sponsorship will prove your commitment to the franchising sector and provide you with an invaluable opportunity to network and build relationships with influential business leaders from all over the UK.
If you are interested in sponsoring an award, please contact Claire Robinson at claire@theafa.org.uk.
