Award Winning Franchise Seeks Partners In The Middle East
Winner of this year’s British Franchisor of the Year Award, Water Babies, is looking for franchise partners in the Middle East Region.
Water Babies is the biggest and most professional baby and toddler swimming programme in the world. With international success in the UK, Ireland, New Zealand, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands and now China, the company is experiencing phenomenal growth globally.
Established in 2002, the company’s 65 franchise business partners teach some 47,000 babies and toddlers every week! Babies are taught to swim from birth and it is the only baby swim programme with a nationally recognised diploma for teachers, endorsed by the UK’s national governing body for swimming.
To expand in the Middle East region, the company is looking for experienced and successful individuals or companies preferably with franchise experience and connections or direct business interests in the leisure sector. Master Franchise or Regional Developer partnerships are sought in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Qatar.
Co-founder Paul Thompson said: “This is an ideal opportunity for someone who may already be operating franchise brands in the Middle East and looking to expand their portfolio. Or it may suit someone already in the children’s activity market or indeed those running a leisure complex with excellent swimming pool facilities with the ambition to maximise the many additional revenue streams available to a Water Babies Master Franchisee – swimming lessons, merchandising and underwater photography.”
He added: “Our franchisee package is second to none and provides a turnkey business with fantastic business management systems, high levels of training and support and marketing resource from the UK headquarters. If you have the drive to succeed, the business connections, are passionate about swimming and want to help children and their families learn a valuable and life saving skill, then this is the master franchise opportunity of a lifetime.”
Paul said, “We are incredibly excited about Water Babies international journey and none more so than the potential we can see in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Qatar – they could be some of the most incredible Water Babies centres anywhere in the world!”
