Franchize Consultants Named Service Provider of the Year Three Times in Five Years

November 26, 2010 - Winning the Franchise Service Provider Award for the third time from four entries in five years is testimony to the expertise of Franchize Consultants (NZ) Ltd, the specialist franchising and licensing consulting, training and research organisation.

“But”, says Managing Director Win Robinson, “what made this year’s Award especially pleasing was an acknowledgement by Graeme Tait, Managing Director of Columbus Coffee, winner of this year’s Supreme Franchise System Award, of the contribution Franchize Consultants had made to the overall performance and success of their business.

Director Callum Floyd, added “It was an honor to win the top service provider award. We did not enter in 2009/2010 so were determined to win this year. We thank our clients and strategic partners for their support, and our loyal and innovative consultants who work very hard to make our clients successful.”

The Company is the leading adviser to the franchise sector on professional planning and implementation of new franchise systems for companies in growth mode, with services providing concept development, channel strategy, franchise strategy, franchise system design, systemisation and documentation, franchise marketing and training.

Advising international franchises coming to New Zealand, and assisting local franchises to expand off-shore is another important aspect of the company’s work.

Franchize Consultant’s research services cover consumer, prospective and existing franchisee and franchisor, and management research.

A new recruitment service draws on professional psychometric testing techniques to ensure a close fit between system and intending franchisees.
