What happens when you turn your mistakes into somebody else’s roadmap to success?

I became a franchisor at 22. I loved it, but if I’m honest, I was probably winging it!

I went on to become a franchisor for a second time, this time in recruitment, and over the years I learned a lot about what it takes to build and grow a franchise business.

By 2008, I realised I could put that experience to good use by helping other franchisors navigate the challenges, avoid costly mistakes and build their businesses with the right support around them, and that’s why I founded Platinum Wave Franchising.

When you’re growing a franchise network, having the right guidance can make all the difference. You don’t have to figure everything out on your own, or learn every lesson the hard way.

That’s still what drives me today, so it’s lovely to see Platinum Wave recognised in the Franchise Support Partner of the Year category at the BFA HSBC UK British Franchise Awards 2026.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that the experience you gain along the way can be one of the most valuable things you share with others.

Franchisor burnout is real.

Growing a franchise isn’t easy. You’re running your own business while helping other business owners succeed, too.

When you have 5–20 franchisees, it can feel like everyone needs you at once. But you can’t do everything yourself.

The answer? Build the right team, put good systems in place, and use the right technology so you’re not the answer to every question.

Looking after yourself is just as important as looking after your franchisees.

A stronger support system means a stronger franchise.

What’s the biggest challenge you face as a franchisor?

A great discovery day requires a two way conversation.

Too often, discovery days become an opportunity for the franchisor to present, impress and sell.

A great discovery day should be a two-way conversation.

It should give prospective franchisees the opportunity to ask the questions that matter, understand the realities of the business and hear directly from people already in the network.

It should also give you the chance to assess whether they’re the right fit.

Remember, the goal isn’t to convert everyone who walks through the door.
It’s to help the right people say yes, and give the wrong people the confidence to say no.

Both outcomes are a win.

How do you approach discovery days in your franchise network?

Turning one shop into an international franchise network isn’t something I just learned from a textbook, I lived it.

I know first-hand what it feels like to take a business from a single retail shop in Edinburgh to more than 70 franchised outlets across 6 countries.
It was exciting. It was hugely rewarding. And, at times, it was absolutely terrifying!

As we grew, so did the need for stronger systems, processes, brand standards, auditing and support, and with every new country came different cultures, languages and ways of doing business.

That experience has shaped everything I do today through Platinum Wave.

Whether you’re considering franchising your business, looking to grow your existing franchise network, or thinking about international expansion, my team and I can help you navigate the journey, with advice grounded in having been there ourselves.
