EWiF South Regional Meeting October 2026

We hold regional meetings around the UK on a regular basis to allow franchisors, franchisees and those thinking of becoming a franchisor or franchisee to meet, network, discuss best practice and hear from a range of industry experts.

Guest speaker will be Lyndsay McLoughlin, who will talk about her Athena story - from member to franchisee (territory resale) to adding a second franchise (a virgin territory) to selling one after the other, and now working with the Franchisor run by Jacqueline as Franchise Recruitment Director.
