The Virtual Franchising Awards has attracted hundreds of nominations since entries opened in May 2022. As the UK’s first virtual awards, the event started in 2021 sparking the rise of digital franchising events and has since soared in popularity. Since 2021 we’ve seen countless virtual franchise exhibitions, webinars and now, back for its third year, the Virtual Franchising Awards 2023.
We’re delighted to have Worldpay from FIS as headline sponsors of the Virtual Franchising Awards this year, and it’s fantastic to have too, Barclays (Franchisee of the Year) and Azura Technologies (Franchisor of the Year) sponsoring for another year. We also welcome Cymphony as sponsors of the Best Franchisee Support category.
The past few weeks have been nail-biting for the hundreds of nominees taking part. The QFA board team have spent hundreds of hours over the past few weeks reading through nominations and exploring supporting documents from each of the entries, but the time has now come to announce the finalists of the Virtual Franchising Awards 2023!
For each of the 8 categories of excellence, there are 8 finalists making it through to the winner announcement on Tuesday 31st January 2023, at 1pm UK time…
…and here they are! The finalists of the Virtual Franchising Awards 2023.
