Simon celebrates a career in franchising spanning over 25 years. 

​

From 1997 to 2005 he was the Deputy Director-General of the British Franchise Association (bfa), responsible for membership recruitment, marketing, standards, education and revenue growth.

Inspired by the success of the ethical franchise community and with a determination to provide a better future for his young family, Simon resigned from the bfa, ‘put his money where his mouth was’ and invested in a Driver Hire Recruitment Franchise which was based in North London. 

​

His recruitment business thrived built on a reputation for 'the best candidates and customer service’ and a genuine enthusiasm and commitment to put the right people in the right ( driving ) seats.

​

After eight very successful years as a Franchisee, and with his love of ethical franchising and recruitment still very much intact Simon sold his Franchise and set about building FranRec.

​

The Franchise industry was crying out for a dedicated Staff and Executive Recruitment Agency. One that understands Franchising, understands both sides of the equation and has the Franchise talent connections too.

​

FranRec has delivered and we have become the franchise staff recruiter of choice for many many franchise brands at every stage on the Franchisor development life-cycle.

​

​

We set out to be different and to be a useful resource for Franchisors -  its fitting that one of our valued customers has the last say: "... just wanted to say how fantastic it is you have created a dedicated recruitment business for the franchise industry. Throughout the growth of our global franchise, I consistently struggled to find good recruitment support that was specific to the franchise industry. It’s brilliant you’ve identified that problem and created a definitive solution for franchise businesses...."
