The crème de la crème of the franchising and licensing industry were recognised and awarded at the annual regional Franchising & Licensing Association (FLA)Awards 2015 held at the Marina Mandarin hotel. This year, the Awards saw a 20% increase in entries with an upward trend in participants hailing from unconventional sectors, such as property, retail and health & fitness, even as veteran industries, such as F&B and education remained strong in the franchising & licensing playing field.
Anytime Fitness bagged the top prize for two award categories, mainly top ‘Franchisor of the Year’ and ‘International Franchisor of the Year’, reflecting the growth and popularity of unconventional industries within the franchising and licensing scene. At the same time, traditional industries like the Food & Beverage sector remained strong, with Louisiana-style eatery, Dancing Crab, being crowned the overall winner in the ‘Promising Franchisor of the Year’ category.
Other winners include 7-Eleven, Kumon, Pezzo, Seoul Garden and ECG Property Services.
