We are incredibly proud to announce that Olivia Crawford, our Marketing and Franchise Development Manager, has become a finalist in not one but TWO categories in the prestigious NatWest EWiF Awards 2022.
With a mission to educate, inspire and empower more women into franchising, EWIF has just announced its 2022 finalists today.
Olivia has been announced as a Finalist in the following two categories for the NatWest EWiF Awards:
- Woman Franchise Employee of the Year 2022, sponsored by Boddy Matthews
- Young Woman in Franchising of the Year 2022, sponsored by McDonald’s
The annual Awards ceremony celebrates the achievements of women across the franchising industry.
Announcing the news, EWiF commented that,
“This year we had record numbers of entries and the standard was the highest in the twelve years of the EWiF Awards, so well done on getting through to the final.”
Huge congratulations to all of the other deserving finalists for your fantastic achievements.
2022 is looking to be another exciting year for Olivia who, at the age of 26, joined Bridgewater Home Care as Franchise Development Manager with no prior experience in the home care or franchise sector and has already made a huge impact on the success of the franchise business.
Olivia was thrilled and very honoured to be shortlisted as a finalist for these two awards, commenting,
“Firstly, I would like to congratulate everyone who has been shortlisted for such prestigious awards. Thank you so much to the EWiF for the recognition of what I have achieved to date.”
She then went on to say,
“After leaving a career in Finance and joining the Home Care sector in 2020, I was so humbled by the strength and teamwork shown by the management team of Bridgewater Home Care and the dedication of the care team in providing continuity of care to our home care clients and delivering a vital care service in our communities. “
Having joined such a dynamic, ambitious franchise in Bridgewater Home Care, Olivia felt inspired to see where she could take the franchise model.
Olivia added that,
“Bridgewater Home Care takes pride in being able to give back to the communities that we serve. I developed the idea of adapting the franchise model to create a ‘franchise for franchisees’ where the focus would be on adding value for the franchise owner, providing efficient processes and systems and creating the best resources possible to facilitate a good work-life balance.”
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of the sponsors of the EWiF Awards :
Boddy Matthews, the sponsor of the “Woman Franchise Employee of the Year 2022” award and who is particularly supportive of Encouraging Women In Franchising and is an active member of the EWiF group to develop the industry in the future.
