National Franchise Exhibition ( NFE ) - Birmingham

The National Franchise Exhibition ( NFE ) in Birmingham is the largest franchise exhibition in the UK.  Usually held on the first Friday and Saturday of October, so in 2008 is taking place on 3rd and 4th October 2008 the NFE takes place at the impressive National Exhibition Centre (The NEC).

With over 200 exhibitors, the NFE is an exhibition often used as a launch event for many new franchise opportunities, whereas, for established and well-developed franchise models, the NFE is an event that cannot be missed. 

Over the two days, thousands of NFE 2008 visitors gather huge amounts of information to take away with them, and makes the NFE an essential event to attend if your franchise research coincides with the timing of the NFE event.

It is not just franchise opportunities on offer, as a whole range of guest speakers talk on a range of topics associated with starting and growing your own business.  Other NFE 2008 exhibitors include essential franchise services, such as franchise lawyers, specialist franchise banking departments and accountants focussed on franchising.  There are also a number of organisations at the NFE that can help you to develop your own successful small business into a franchise operation.

In recent years, the NFE has also adopted the Growing Your Own Business Exhibition, for people looking to develop their own business model further

Further information about the 2008 NFE event can be found via the British Franchise Association, via this link.
