Foundation Testimonials
Exciting Updates from the Bike Fitters’ Recruitment Drive With The Chantry Foundation! We are thrilled to share some fantastic progress with our recruitment efforts at Bike Fitters over the past six months. The response to our recruitment campaign has been overwhelmingly positive! We’ve received a high number of enquiries from passionate individuals eager to join the Bike Fitters family and Mike has been great at speaking with these people initially. Our discovery days have been bustling with energy and enthusiasm and we’re proud to announce we now have 2 franchisees trained and on the road, 2 more about to start and 4 or 5 in talks to take things further. This growth reflects the growing interest and belief in our mission and the exciting opportunities available within our organisation. Our partnership with the Chantry Foundation has been really positive. Working together, we have been able to enhance our recruitment strategies and provide additional points of contact for people enquiring about the franchise opportunity. We’ve been able to put our trust in the process knowing that people coming to a discovery day have spent lots of time talking to Mike and already really eager to continue the process. Everyone at the discovery days have all had nothing but positive things to say about their contact with Mike and the way he dealt with them from initial enquiry to booking them on a discovery day with us. The collaboration has allowed us to create a more robust recruitment system for the Bike Fitters which has been incredibly important As we reflect on where we thought we would be at this point, we’re pleased to report that reality has exceeded our expectations. We anticipated slow yet steady growth being a start-up but the level of interest and engagement has surpassed our initial projections. The industry’s response has been incredibly encouraging (both within the cycling and franchise world) and we’re grateful for the trust and enthusiasm shown by our new franchisees and the Chantry Foundation. We can’t wait to report back on what the next 6 months will have in store for us!! The Bike Fitters Directors.

“Since day one Mike and Chris have been extremely helpful and motivated to help us get 12th St Burgers & Shakes start our next stage of the Franchise Journey. We have been looking for a Franchise Consultancy to help us with our growth and after having met few companies out there we are extremely happy to have found the Chantry Foundation and made the decision to go with them. The idea was to work with a group of talented team that will handle setting up our Franchisee recruitment and streamline the whole process and I must say the Chantry Foundation have delivered exactly that. For us its early stages of our Journey but we have regular meetings and given regular updates, so we know exactly what stage we are at and what to expend next. I highly recommend the Chantry Foundation and their services. We are excited and looking forward to our continued business relationship and no doubt they will help us reach our Goal of becoming the no.1 new Fast growing Burger Brand in the UK.”

Overall Experience: We could not have asked for more from Mike and the team. It was clear from the outset that they wanted to succeed every bit as much as we did. This was evident on a number of occasions when Mike put himself out to support us beyond the contractual relationships. Our collaboration has been exceptional. From day one, the foundation has been a supportive and reliable partner, always committed to helping us succeed. Our pipeline is stronger than it has ever been both in number and quality of candidates.
Messaging: The very first stage led by Chantry was to review our messaging. The outputs from this were a step change from our initial thoughts and remained strong throughout, attracting the right level of candidate. The messaging you’ve developed for us has resonated well with our target audience, reflecting our values and intentions perfectly. It’s clear, impactful, and aligns seamlessly with BizSmart’s branding.
Lead Handling: Your team’s handling of leads has been super efficient, with a smooth and structured process that ensures every lead is followed up promptly and effectively. We have had full visibility of all enquiries enabling focused time
Marketing Spend Management and Planning: The marketing spend planning has been well thought out using decades of experience and relationships. Performance of the channels has been monitored and changes made to focus limited resources for maximum return. Mike has been able to arrange offers that would not have been available to us direct, enabling our budget to go further.
