diddi dance Finalist in Workbuzz 2021 Best Franchise Awards

October 29, 2021 by Helena Rigby

We are thrilled to announce that we are Finalists in the WorkBuzz 2021 Best Franchise Awards, sponsored by Lloyds Bank 🌟

These awards are unique because they are based on feedback from franchisees – meaning they highlight the best franchises out there!

To be considered, Franchisors must have taken part in the Franchise Satisfaction Benchmark programme alongside Franchisees completing a confidential online survey, rating their Franchisor on qualities such as initial training, ongoing support, their relationship with the franchisor, and whether they would recommend the franchise to a prospective franchisee.

We are proud our Franchisor was top-performing and has been put forward as a finalist in the Best Franchise Awards 🤩

Thank you to our diddi dance crew for your time completing the survey and congratulations to Anne-Marie Martin, founder, for becoming a finalist 💚💗💙
