Why we’ve shot up in HSBC’s prestigious Elite Franchise Top 100 league table

3 min read

In 2023 we moved up the rankings to take 12th position in HSBC’s prestigious Elite Franchise Top 100 league table (see p140-145).

The EF100 is Britain’s definitive official list celebrating excellence in the franchise community. In 2022 we shot straight to number 17 despite never appearing on the list before, beating 900 franchises! And now look where we stand! No wonder our head of franchise marketing, Jenny Farenden, is celebrating!

Every single franchise is scrutinised by an independent panel of top judges who score entrants on core criteria that helps gauge their growth, ambitions and contributions made to franchisees and the community.

“Being recognised as one of top franchises across all industries and beating some incredible brands is a huge achievement! The company has invested millions over the last couple of years and it shows with our consultants making record sales every month this year.”

Unlike our competitors, we welcome people from all walks of life, training and supporting them to become travel entrepreneurs. Like former teacher Julie-Anne and musician Ross.

We also let franchisees work part time or in their spare time giving people the flexibility to enjoy an incredible work/life balance.

While some people work flexible 20-hour weeks and make £40, our top performers work full time and earn £100k plus, but the most rewarding part is seeing how we change people’s lives enabling them to make a living, travel and still enjoy time with their families and friends.

Franchisees who join on our Elite package get to jet away on two free mentorship retreats abroad (check out more about our latest Elite Experience in Florida).

Elite franchisees also get the chance to get their franchise fee refunded (like Dawn, Jennie and Michelle) with our Money-Back Challenge if they achieve a set amount of commission in their first 12 months.

These unique selling points have helped many franchisees start a successful business for free with franchisees saying they wish they joined us earlier!

“Hundreds of people are earning money doing something they love, living a dream life and enjoying a work/life balance they never believed would be possible. We are urging anyone who is considering joining us as a new franchisee to get in touch as soon as possible – there’s still time to train before the peak booking period begins in January and agents typically book four times as many holidays than any other time of the year.”

If you are interested in selling holidays, enjoying trips abroad and growing the UK’s fastest travel franchise get in touch.
