Having been involved in the exciting world of franchising for 21 years, at Revive! we have both seen and felt the impressive growth the sector has had over the years. We have worked hard to grow our network of SMART repair franchises from initial one man in a van ventures to management franchise opportunities capable of generating over £2m in turnover annually.
Our franchisees are the heart and soul of Revive!, without their support and dedication to their customers Revive! could never operate on the scale we currently do. This is why Revive! are proud to celebrate World Franchise Day alongside the British Franchise Association (bfa) and the World Franchise Council to promote the dynamic world of franchising and the exciting and important impact it has on local communities and national economies.
The Impact of Franchising
Franchising continues to play a pivotal role in the UK economy, contributing £19.1 billion annually. This impressive figure reflects the financial viability of franchising as a business model, with an average turnover per franchised unit standing at approximately £400,000! Not only that, BUT the UK franchising sector remains a significant employer, providing jobs for approximately 770,000 individuals. This figure illustrates the importance of franchising as a major contributor to the UK job market, supporting diverse industries and communities. Notably, one in five franchise units employs 11 or more staff members.
Over its 21-year history Revive! is proud to have supported the growth and development of over 50 franchisees, this has included four £1m franchises, one £2m franchise and still includes the three original franchisees who started the ball rolling all the way back in 2004. We have won various awards in the franchising sector including the prestigious Franchisor of the Year Gold award 2022 from the bfa , the Leadership & Culture award 2023 also from the bfa and have recently achieved 5 stars in the Workbuzz Franchisee Satisfaction Awards 2025 for the fifth year running. The company has also ranked among the best franchisors in the country in the HSBC Elite Franchise Top 100 league table currently sitting at 10th on the list.
Ain’t no stopping us now!
The growth of Revive! is showing no signs of stopping, having launched four new franchisees in the first half of 2025 with more already in the pipeline for the second half of the year. Revive! are strongly pushing towards our overall target of £40m by 2028 with franchisees regularly breaking records and hitting their personal best months to date. Revive! is dedicated to ensuring the continued success of our franchisee network, offering tailored, bespoke support and training packages to our 50+ franchisees. Revive!’s head office support staff are also available for 1 to 1 power hour sessions to tackle any franchisee issues head on.
Overall, Revive! would like to thank our franchisees for their unrivalled determination and unwavering commitment to showcasing the our core values to their customers: Technical Excellence, Unity, Integrity and most importantly Outstanding Customer Service. Without their loyalty to the Revive! way the company simply wouldn’t be the same.
