To help integrate our new Core Values across PEG, the marketing team want to share the love and offer you five free ‘Core Values’ posters. This high quality poster should be visible in your office, to motivate you and your staff to go smash it, every day!

Why not? Purchase more posters for your partner schools and parents so they know what to expect from your team.

During the week we’ve been telling you about a number of enhancements to your BMS dashboard.

We’ll hand over to Group Marketing Director, Luke Miles to explain the enhancements we released Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week.

We hope you and your team find these developments useful? As always, if you have any feedback, please email us.

Early reports from the BMS show that this year, our elite club will rise so that 61% of the network have been trading for 3 years or more. Please ensure you meet the deadline of 30th November to submit your annual accounts in order to qualify for next year’s 100 club event.

Some stats to report –

• The average growth for franchisees in year 3+ this year has been £21.5k.
• The above figure is identically matched by franchisees in their second year of trading.
• The overall top ten performing franchisees (£ turnover) still lead the way with an average growth figure of £73k.

We hope you’ve had a chance to study the central Communications Plan we circulated in last week’s newsletter and begun integrating this into your 12 month Tactical Planner.

We can appreciate there is a lot of content to absorb within the plan, but, rest assured, we’ve been full steam ahead this week creating the scheduled Activity Professional and Active Schools newsletter set to go out next week.

Contact marketing if you want us to run our eye over your 12 month Planner.

This week, Conor Cinato successfully completed and passed his 1st4sport Level 2 Certificate in Supporting Learning in Physical Education and School Sport (QCF).

As part of the Combined Qualification, designed and developed exclusively for Premier Education Group in association with 1st4Sport, the Combined Qualification merges all of our core competency qualifications from the PEG training framework into one. At an exclusive cost of only £385 per learner, this is by far the most cost effective way of up skilling your Activity Professionals with fit for purpose qualifications.

Have you tried the ‘Make it Yourself’ section on the shop? It’s simple, fast and is getting more popular each day... franchisees love it!

You can see below what Danielle Groves from the Essex territory thinks of the shopping experience we’ve provided for her...

“The process was very easy - great to change and amend as you wish with the PDF's viewable instantly. So far so good, thank you Marketing Team”.

Premier Education Group is excited to welcome former Police Officer, Simon Gibbons to the Premier Sport network.

Along with five other new franchisees, he’s just completed the rigorous induction process at PEG Training Academy and will now launch his franchise in Grimsby, North Lincolnshire.

Simon is a Business Management graduate and for the last 12 years he’s been a Police Officer for the Humberside Constabulary.

Franchisee Andy Stevenson has been with Premier for 12 years and has achieved moderate growth over the years. Why? Andy would be the first to tell you its because he’s continued to work in his business delivering sessions, rather than working on his business structure and development. That was until 2015’s NTE.

After last year’s NTE and the ‘Capacity and Infrastructure Training’, he decided that he was going to adapt the new, recommended company infrastructure and come away from delivering within his business and instead build it. The difference this year has been amazing; he has grown his business by 116% and now qualifies for the 100 Club.

Good news. We’ve redeveloped your Premier Performing Arts artwork to make it better suited for the shop. It allows full customisation of materials for greater local relevancy and to offer instant proofs and artwork files.

You can now create bespoke holiday leaflets, posters, vinyls and pop up banners on the Irongate shop. You can also build your Premier Performing Arts Halloween literature on the shop too. To customise your own bespoke leaflets, please go to the shop on Monday and visit the ‘Make It Yourself’ section.

Keep in mind that if you need any product not listed, or a product in a different size, you can contact us and we will do our best to meet your request within five days.

More good news! We have new exclusive merchandise on your shop that includes Cadbury chocolates and biscuit tins that can be personalised to include Headteacher/PE Coordinator names.

It’s the little things that will ‘deliver wow’ to your customers.... who wouldn’t like a personalised biscuit tin for Christmas?
