A look back at our annual conference

Bringing together connection, celebration and collaboration at our annual conference

 

Our highly anticipated annual conference took place in May and once again proved to be a resounding success amongst our franchise network.

 

Bringing together our franchisees from across the country, the conference was an opportunity for connection, celebration and collaboration. 

 

Held at Cranage Hall in Cheshire, the conference saw our franchisees share best practice and stay informed on the latest updates, innovations and our forward-thinking vision.

 

From engaging sessions to hands-on workshops, our network was immersed in a program designed to strengthen performance and inspire ongoing success.

 

The conference also served as a platform to celebrate achievements from the past year. A highlight being our awards ceremony, where outstanding performances were recognised across multiple categories such as the maintaining of strong finances, having a focus on growth and the ability to lead a strong team.

 

Long-serving franchisees were also honoured for reaching key business milestones such as 5, 10 and even 15 year anniversaries. 

 

We also crowned our ‘Franchisee of the Year’ Ellie Cawdell, who picked up the accolade for a second time. It’s Ellie’s commitment to achieving in all areas of her business and supporting the wider network that earnt her the title once again.

 

New franchisees were warmly welcomed into the community, receiving introductions and support as they prepare to launch and grow their businesses under the award-winning Puddle Ducks brand.

 

Of course, it wasn’t all business - there was time for some light-hearted team building as well. A lively burger-making challenge had everyone showing off their culinary creativity!

 

As the event wrapped up, the mood was one of renewed energy and optimism. With clear goals, a supportive network and a shared commitment to excellence, this year’s Annual Conference set the stage for even greater success in the year ahead.

 

Jo Stone, owner of Puddle Ducks commented: “We’re proud to see such passion and commitment across our network. This conference not only reinforces our shared values and goals, but it also reminds us of the power of coming together as a team.”
