FRANCHISE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

Gordon Patterson has been an active franchise consultant since 1985 in partnership with Gary Rigby operating Franchise Development Services (Southern) – FDS. Over these years he has gathered a vast knowledge of franchising through the successful development of now well known and established businesses. Gordon is a regular speaker at BFA (British Franchise Association) seminars and has been invited to judge on ‘The Franchisor of the Year 2007’ awards.

Gary Rigby has developed and been part of a team of a multi-million franchise as a Franchise/Operations Manager. He has acquired over his seventeen years in franchising, an extensive hands on and factual experience in successful franchising from setting-up, recruitment, marketing, training and development, business systems, legalities, in fact incorporating all aspects of franchising. In addition he has been involved in many franchise consultancy projects to-date.

It is one thing to provide professional consultancy to a client but quite another to be able, through the FDS media and our ongoing services, to create the best possible opportunity for an effective launch of a franchise, resulting in the appointment of quality franchisees.
