Franchising in the UK is an industry on the rise, with the latest economic figures showing that the UK market is currently worth £18bn and is expected to grow to £20bn by 2024.

In amongst that growth are a number of positive trends including almost a third of all franchisees in the UK being under 30 and more women are taking up investment opportunities than ever before.

Steve Lampshire lauded the fitness brand for its work empowering women and hopes to see 30 Minute Hit continue to inspire positive and progressive franchising trends.

He added: “We are seeing a number of fantastic trends in franchising at the moment including more women than ever being involved in the industry, with recent figures from NatWest showing that women make up 37% of UK franchisees.

“30 Minute Hit gives another great platform to continue that trend and is the perfect franchise opportunity for entrepreneurs who want to build a business that helps and empowers women.”

The collaboration with 30 Minute Hit comes not long after Platinum Wave added more awards to its collection with a big win at a national awards show.

The global franchising consultancy scooped up two awards recently at the NatWest Encouraging Women into Franchising (EWiF) Awards.

It beat stiff competition to take home the Service Provider of the Year award, which celebrates organisations which have helped their clients with significant growth over the past year across a variety of industries.

Alongside that honour, Platinum Wave founder and CEO Suzie McCafferty was awarded ambassador of the year.
