Premier Make 36 in the Top 100 Franchise Table...

We are thrilled to announce that Premier has been recognised as one of the Top 100 UK franchises in Elite Franchise’s 2018 EF100 list. At number 36, we’re delighted that our outstanding franchise model has been recognised as one of the Top 40 in the country.

The EF100 celebrates the greatest franchises that the UK has the offer. They are assessed on the support offered to their network of franchisees, the financial performance and heritage in the industry, their contribution to the community and how well they embrace and implement innovation.

We are incredibly proud of this achievement and will be working hard to ensure that Premier are even further up the table for 2019.

Partnerships and Train with Premier Update

We are now at the exciting stage with many National Governing Bodies where we are looking at firming up partnerships. The response so far that we have received has been fantastic and thank you to everyone who has instigated local discussions with NGB’s. Many of the partnerships will involve training and this is where we now need your help so that we can identify demand and prioritise the sports we are working with. This will then allow you locally to train more AP’s in the sports which are going to maximise your growth locally.

This is your opportunity over a cuppa and a mince pie to fill in the short survey to tell us more about your local requirements. Please take the time to fill this in and help shape the future.
