The bfa Female Franchise of the Year Award showcases and celebrates female franchisees who demonstrate passion, drive and commitment that has led to exceptional results.

This year’s bfa awards for both Franchisors and Franchisees will be held together for the first time at their Annual conference and looks set to be an amazing night.

Competition has been intense and Germaine retains her focus on what she wants to achieve.
