Follow the leader W
ith Theresa May becoming the new prime minister of the UK, Jeremy Corbyn facing an increasingly bitter contest for his position at the helm of the Labour Party and Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton trading blows in their bid for the US presidency, leadership has definitely been on a lot of people’s minds this last month. But a strong guiding hand is is not only important in the political sphere. Having spent much of his early life out on the rugby pitch, Mark Llewellyn is certainly no stranger to how great leadership can help you climb the league tables. But it is his journey growing the
SMART vehicle repair franchise Revive! that marks him out as a true luminary, having helped define the standards for industry and growing the company’s network to 65 franchisees on target to turn over £8.5m this year. There’s a great deal we can learn from Llewellyn and entrepreneurs like him. Following the shining example set by the sector’s brightest success stories can help guide the way for the next generation. And, whilst our political leaders would rather scrap over territory, the franchising industry is at its best when we’re all heading in the same direction.
