To me, being a part of Worldwide is belonging to an organisation that has resources that include the personnel, know-how, capital and drive to keep at the forefront of technology within our respective markets. It is enabling us, as franchisees, to get on with the business of attending to our customer's requirements at a very high standard, without having to think of all the constraints and admin downtime of being in business on your own.”
Alan - Owner,
Worldwide
I have been a Franchise owner for 22 years. Worldwide to me, means family. I often refer to my colleagues as my Worldwide family. The support, encouragement and also, friendship, that I receive on a daily basis is fantastic. Don’t get me wrong - Worldwide also pushes the owners out of our comfort zone for the greater good of growing our business. I do not believe that there is another Franchise Network that is more caring of their Franchisees
Mandy – Owner,
Worldwide
I wanted to be a Worldwide Franchisee as I saw the added value that Worldwide provides their customers through its technology solutions, it's what I love about running my own business and working for my customers. Our customers express how happy they are with the technology solutions, and they're often surprised at the positive feedback that they receive from their consumers from using our tailored customer journeys; the key is receiving personalised communication that is easy to use.
