Amid announcements of a £750k investment from the Gateway for
Growth Program to help create jobs in Swindon, and the sale of the
yet-to-open Regent Circus leisure and retail development for more
than £8m over asking price, Select Appointments, the UK’s leading
recruitment franchise business, is keen to add a particularly well
timed vacancy of its own to the growing number of opportunities
available in the town.
Select Appointments, a leading recruitment franchise business
has enjoyed considerable success in Swindon over the last decade.
We are therefore very excited that the Select Appointments
Franchise for Swindon has become available for sale. This is a
perfect time for someone from the area to capitalise on the buoyant
local economy and to leverage the brand equity that has been
developed by the previous Select Appointments franchisee within
Swindon and surrounding areas.
If you are new to franchising, it may be helpful to know that
the franchise industry is thriving right across the country as
local people realise the power of partnering with a national brand
to open their own businesses. When combined with the economic
upturn in recruitment and employment, this unique opportunity could
be life changing for the right person.
The Select Appointments success story is predicated on
providing high quality recruitment services, under the Select brand
but operated by local owners with local knowledge who are
passionate about supporting local businesses and communities.
Although this opportunity would appeal to experienced
recruitment or HR professionals, the quality of the training
programmes and support offered by Select means that people with no
prior experience of a particular industry can become successful
businesses owners in a relatively short period of time. This is
also because the business model and the operating systems have
already been proven and replicated across the country.
Graeme McKinnon, managing director of Select Appointments,
comments: “According to a recent research article by Bloomberg 80%
of entrepreneurs who start business on their own fail within 18
months. The British Franchising Association (bfa) on the other hand
has conducted research across the UK Franchise industry which has
found that 92% of Franchisees are profitable within 12 months. This
is exactly what is attracting new Franchisees to Select
Appointments and this is why this presents a serious opportunity
for any ambitious individuals who want to break free from corporate
life and reap the rewards they deserve. Swindon has
historically been one of our high performing territories and this
is why we want to speak to anyone in the Swindon area who feels
they have what it takes to run their own recruitment business here
in the town”
