Pet Industry Fields Two Franchise Finalists

Two UK Pet Industry franchisees are to compete in the final of this year's British Franchise Association, (BFA) Franchisee of the Year Awards 2007. Barking Mad franchisees Stewart Collins & Tina O'Connor join Cliff & Tracy Marsh from Oscar Pet Foods to battle it out against ten other franchisees at the International Convention Centre (ICC), in Birmingham on Thursday 4th October. The winners will be handed a share of the £10,000 prize money put up by HSBC bank.

Organised by the BFA and sponsored by HSBC and Express Newspapers. The BFA awards recognise the importance that franchisees have put upon customer loyalty and customer care.
