Testimonial
“We are a US franchise concept that’s been running in the UK for over 10 years. We had a few franchisees that were simply not paying their royalties and attacking the business behind a competitive agenda. We used a number of franchise lawyers but none of them seemed to grasp the issue.
Andrew Pena took a strategic approach whereby we picked them off one by one and then focused our energies on the ringleader. I am happy to say that the approach worked really well – we took decisive action against the ringleader which sent a really strong message to our network which we’re still benefiting from now. A great result to a very difficult situation.”
