Terry has been shortlisted in the Olderpreneur Franchisee category, which aims to recognise those who have utilised their wealth of experience to run and grow a successful franchise. Other categories include best Young Franchisee, B2B Franchisee, Female Franchisee, Micro-Business Franchisee, and best Customer Service. Terry will also have the chance to win the coveted Franchisee of the Year Award, which will recognise an overall winner from the 19 finalists across all of the categories. Terry said: “I am very proud to have been shortlisted as Franchisee of the Year, which I won in 2007. I went to London last month and gave a presentation on what I have achieved from an entrepreneurial point of view, and the work that I do for the wider franchise network. I am really looking forward to the bfa award ceremony later this year, as it is a very enjoyable, slick and high profile event.” Brian Smart, Director General, bfa, said: “This year the finalists excel in their sectors, demonstrating business drive and ambition. The shortlisted business men and women showcase the talent in franchising in the UK across a range of commerce, small and large. Their successes deserve to be championed, and we’re all looking forward to the judging process.” 15 years in business Last month, Terry also celebrated 15 years with the Belvoir network. He opened his first Belvoir franchise in Peterborough in 1999 and has also owned Belvoir Cambridge since 2010. “My team recently presented me with a plaque to celebrate 15 years in business, which was fantastic, and I would like to pay tribute to them as I really could not have achieved any of this without them,” says Terry. “It is my team that gives me the space and time to be able to do the things I do and to keep on taking the business forward.” • Belvoir now have more than 160 offices nationwide.
