Children’s dance class franchisee wins prestigious Great British Franchisee Award
Charlotte Burgess, a diddi dance franchisee who has been teaching children’s dance classes across Shropshire since 2019, has won a whichfranchise Great British Franchisee Award.
The awards, now in their 5th year, celebrate business success and reflect the winners’ achievements in stability, growth, staff retention, customer satisfaction, community involvement, inspired leadership and their involvement in the franchise network.
Before becoming a diddi dance franchisee, Charlotte already had experience of what makes the brand so special as she worked as a teacher for the previous franchise owner. This experience gave her an understanding of the day-to-day running of the business, as well as the energy and connection needed to engage children and parents in each session. And ultimately led her to want a diddi dance franchise of her own!
It was this passion for the brand that really stood out to the judges. They could tell how much Charlotte loves her job and being part of the diddi dance family. She truly is a strong advocate for the importance of dance for children’s health and well-being.
Charlotte’s determination and hard work has paid off as she has had the biggest growth in the network in the past 12 months.
“I’m absolutely thrilled to be named a winner of the Great British Franchisee Award 2025,” commented Charlotte.
As franchisees, the day-to-day is often so fast-paced that we rarely stop to reflect, so the application process was a brilliant opportunity to recognise just how much has been accomplished over the years. To now receive this award is truly the highlight of my year. I’m so grateful to my franchisor and head office team for their support in putting me forward and I can’t wait to celebrate and share this achievement.”
Anne-Marie Martin, Founder of diddi dance commented, “Charlotte is a fantastic long standing franchisee here at diddi dance and we are so proud of her achieving this award.
She is so supportive to the network, great at communicating with head office, full of initiative and creative ideas and runs a brilliant area with special customer service and attention to detail. We are proud to have her in the diddi dance crew.”
Please join us in congratulating Charlotte on this outstanding achievement. She is a shining example of what it means to lead with heart, passion and excellence.
