"We are delighted to be included in the FTSE AIM UK 50 index from today. This marks a significant milestone in Franchise Brands' journey and is testament to the Group's substantial growth. Since IPO in 2016, the business has built on the strength of its franchise model to scale up to seven brands in ten countries and has increased its market capitalisation to almost £300m.

 

"We would like to thank our dedicated team and wider franchise community for their incredible dedication to continuing to build on the progress made so far. We are even more committed today to building a stronger, more integrated Group through our 'One Franchise Brands' initiative, maximising opportunities across all our brands and delivering sustainable growth for our stakeholders. I am excited about the next stage of our development and look forward to the future with great optimism."
