Our huge commitment to excellence in training was rewarded at the National Training Awards where we were presented with the South East Training Award for Medium sized Employers. Dream Doors Franchise and Operations Director, Kelly Chambers, stated “It is a fantastic achievement and clearly recognises the quality and depth of the training we offer to our franchisees. It highlights the importance Dream Doors places on training franchisees and the benefits we are receive from it. Dream Doors training programme is an award winning programme we are very proud of and will continue to strive for excellence. The judging process was very in depth facing two judging panels and a 5 hour interview at head office. Obviously meeting Colin Jackson was an added bonus last night!”
"When the factory was taken over, they introduced new cost cutting measures, which included multiple redundancies left, right and centre, I became frustrated and decided it was the ideal time to pursue my dream of becoming my own boss. At the time, Glyn was working in furniture sales - he was keen to progress his career so agreed to join me in business."

One of the bfa's main jobs is to help potential franchisees recognise the good, the bad, and the ugly for what they are. Another is to help businesses involved in franchising to secure their own position amongst the "good" operators.
