Hello and welcome to
EWiF North West and North Wales.

Georgie Clayton
North West Regional Chair
Georgie.Clayton@jmw.co.uk
I am Georgie Clayton, a Solicitor in the commercial team at JMW Solicitors in Manchester and EWiF North West & North Wales Chair.
As a Solicitor, I help franchisors and franchisees at all stages of their franchising journey every day, so I am excited to lead EWiF North West & North Wales and follow in the footsteps of my colleague, Rebecca Young, who has done a great job of running the region to date.
Our meetings are above all a safe space for people considering entering the franchising world, franchisors and franchisees (whether experienced or inexperienced). We build connections, we provide support, and we inspire others.
If you would like to attend a North West & North Wales meeting or would like to talk about franchising more generally, then please email me at georgie.clayton@jmw.co.uk
Bring-a-buddy
This year, we’re running a Bring-A-Buddy scheme, where we are inviting our ambassadors to invite a ‘buddy’ along to any of the EWiF meetings, to see for themselves what we’re all about. We want to encourage more women into franchising for themselves, one of the best ways we believe we can do this, is by expanding our inspirational army of EWiF Ambassadors. Connect your friends to an industry which could enhance their business, or benefit from their services, plus you could win EWiF Ambassador of the Month if your friend(s) becomes an EWiF member!
So, take a look at your inner circle or network. Who are you connected with, and what could they offer to the wider franchise community? Or, how could franchising inspire them to fulfil their true self? Then, just invite them along to the next meeting in your region. If we all invited just one person, and they, in time, invited someone else, through the power of connection EWiF’s impact could really grow in 2024!
