Twice a year CfBI franchisees meet to compare notes, share experience and find even better practises in delivering our consortia.

Following this we open the meeting to a wider group of 'friends' who are tempted by the idea of taking on their own new franchises.

Discussion spills over to dinner in a nearby restaurant.
