It’s already nearly the end of January so I imagine you are already back up to speed after the break and already going great guns on your plans for 2025.

You’ve laid out exactly what you need to do and have your team 100% on mission. You’ve got high hopes for everything you plan to achieve this year, but then imagine something unexpected happens: one of your key executives suddenly hands in their notice.

Yikes.

It can happen in any business at any time. Even if someone is otherwise very happy in their job, there are plenty of perfectly good reasons why they might decide to move on. It might be as simple as a better salary or more flexible hours to fit into their desired lifestyle. It might be that they’ve been headhunted for a more senior position, or it could just be that they feel their current career has run its course and they want to try something completely different.

However, knowing it’s unavoidable doesn’t help you with the crisis they’ve just handed you. It’s just one of the many challenges you have to face, I’m sure, but it can come as a shock, and put a real spanner in the works.

Unless you’re prepared, of course – which is where I come in.

Whether you need someone new on your executive team now, or in the future, it’s worth understanding now what you can do to bypass the grind of advertising online and skip straight to the kind of top tier candidates you need.

Using my decades of experience in the industry, and the many contacts I’ve made along the way, I can act as your executive level matchmaker and source only the highest quality professionals for your franchise. By getting to know each other, and your needs as a potential future employer, a bit better now, you can avoid being blindsided by the unexpected further down the line.

So, why don’t we talk about how I could help? 30 minutes of your time now could easily save you days, if not weeks, of work later and make your franchise stronger than ever before.

Alternatively, if you’re at The British & International Franchise Exhibition at London Olympia on 31st Jan and 1st Feb, why not pop by for a chat? I’ll be at The Franchising Centre’s stand and will be very happy to talk.
