The British Franchise Association (bfa) is the regulatory body for franchising in the UK and seeks to promote ethical franchising, not only to its members but also to the franchise industry as a whole. The bfa has several categories of membership including ‘affiliate’ members which are the professional advisors to the franchise industry. This includes solicitors, banks, accountants, consultants, marketing specialists and other related advisors, newspapers and publications.
Birketts is an affiliate member of the bfa and our franchise specialists have been actively involved with the bfa for many years.
Ed Savory, Legal Director and Head of Franchising at Birketts, commented: “We are delighted that Vicki has been elected as bfa Affiliate Forum Chair. We agree strongly with what the bfa seeks to achieve and believe the affiliates add a great deal of value to the bfa and its members. Vicki’s appointment is a clear sign of the firm’s ever-growing reputation in the franchising sector.”
Vicki added: “I am thrilled to have been elected and look forward to promoting the excellent engagement of the affiliate members and to providing a bridge between the affiliate members and the bfa.”
