The International Franchise Show 2025: Record-Breaking Attendance, Unforgettable Moments, and Franchise Innovation

Liz Ainger

Last weekend The International Franchise Show returned to the Excel for it's 16th edition. We're incredibly excited to share that we welcomed a record-breaking number of attendees who utilised the resources on offer and celebrated with us.

We were also honoured to partner with International Franchise Association as well as NatWest where representatives exhibited at the show and hosted riveting seminars on everything you’d need to know about franchising. We’re so excited to see what the future holds with this partnership.

We're thrilled by the overwhelming positive feedback we've received from exhibitors, who have noted the exceptional quality of leads and genuine interest from attendees. One exhibitor said:

"Last day exhibiting at the International Franchise Show supporting our client. We had an amazing response from potential franchise partners for both UK and International markets with over 150 leads collected just yesterday alone. I have visited Franchise exhibitions for over 30 years and I have to say this by far is THE show that you need to attend or exhibit! Congratulations on another great show, with lots of new brand owners exhibiting, I’m already looking forward to 2026." - Nil Naik

Similarly, our attendees found the plethora of industries available inspiring which encouraged them to learn more about the franchise industry and seek out suitable organisations to invest in or collaborate with.

We’d like to thank our sponsors, the IFA and Natwest, our exhibitors and all of the fantastic attendees for such a successful show. It was definitely one to remember and we cannot wait for next year!

Join us again next year on the 17th and 18th of April 2026 for another exciting edition of the International Franchise Show.
