This year saw a record number of entries submitted across all categories, leading to an overall increase of nearly 30 per cent compared to 2020.

Despite what has been a challenging 18 months for most standalone businesses, the franchising sector has shown strength and resilience. As a result, many bfa members have reported their highest ever level of franchisee recruitment and one of their most successful years for profitability and business development.

This category represents franchisees that have built empires using franchising, with a clear passion for business and a mastery of management.

Pip Wilkins, CEO of the British Franchising Association, congratulated Kash Group boss Kashif Jaffar. He said: “Facing numerous challenges within the last year, Kashif has overcome them with ease. Since embarking on this journey, one of the biggest challenges he faced was being able to adapt to different cultures.

"He and the Kash Group team has successfully achieved this with a diverse portfolio of businesses.

“Kashif and his team should be really proud of this nomination and we look forward to seeing the result.”

Andrew Brattesani, Head of Franchising, HSBC, said: “Kashif's story of his journey and all he’s achieved is really inspiring. He puts family values front and centre throughout his franchise. This can be seen in the way he treats his employees and the dedication to reward them for their hard work and support.”
