@mfturnbull Well deserved, have a great Christmas

[Simon Bartholomew @722sab]

The awards are about to start and there is a buzz around the room #bfaHSBCawards2022

[Simon Bartholomew @722sab]

@jet2tweets not impressed, dumped at the end of the road in the middle of the night with poor directions to hotel where we waited a long time to find anyone to check us in. No welcome info and no way to contact a rep without a phone. Notice board useless no info except flights

[Simon Bartholomew @722sab]

Check every email you get from sky the agents lie. When you don’t get what you signned up for they just say the agent was wrong you should have read all the emails we sent. You can’t go back as the package l no longer exists. Conartists,no regard for customers #sky #poorservice

Last session of a whirlwind morning of presentations. So much to learn and great to be back face to face #Superbrand2022

[Simon Bartholomew @722sab]

A great presentation on the UK market by @GoldsteinLegal and @richadavies1 raising some great pointers. #Superbrand2022

Great to back with old friends and to make new ones #bfaconf21

The British Franchise Association AGM was different this year, being on line but when you look back at how the industry has supported so many local business owners through the year it makes you proud to be involved in franchising.

With lots of Shop Local campaigns running please remember lots of brand names are franchised units operated by local business entrepreneurs investing in their communities and employing local people. They need our support.#Franchising #localbusiness #FranchiseBusiness #franchisee

Heading into another National Lockdown the importance of the BFA will again beapparent. Helping us all to be informed. The franchise industry is one of the strongest business models in the current global situation. In business for yourself but not by yourself @BFA_UK #Franchise

[Simon Bartholomew @722sab]

Great to chat to other franchise folk today on @BFA_UK Powerhour and find out what’s going on in the industry. Would be good to see more people attend. 4:00 every Thursday. #networking #franchise

Why is it whenever you spend money on Mark’s and Spencer they immediately send you a 20% voucher for what you just bought. Do they deliberately want to annoy their customers #poorservice #marks #marksandspencer #M&S

[St Mary's Wistaston @maryandluke]

It was fantastic to be back in St Mary’s for the first act of Public Worship since 15 March. Our capacity is severely limited, we were ‘full’ at 20. Thanks to all who came. To book in for a 9:30am service please go to our website for full details. @ChesterDiocese @churchofengland
