Driver Hire has been shortlisted for two awards from Elite Franchise Magazine: the ‘Businesses for Sale Innovation of the Year Award’ and the ‘Elite Franchise Sustainability of the Year Award.’
The ‘Innovation of the Year Award’ category highlights franchisors who have shown marketing innovation within the franchise model. This might be in the development of enterprising new ways to recruit franchisees, in the promotion of franchise resales, as well as marketing the brand.
The ‘Sustainability of the Year Award’ honours significant contributions to environmental and social progress, including energy efficiency improvements, climate initiatives, and leading practices in sustainability.
Graham Duckworth, Driver Hire’s Franchise Sales Director, said: “This is great news. Elite Franchise ranked Driver Hire in the UK’s Top Ten franchises for the ninth year running, and these two new award nominations highlight our business strength.”
Elite Franchise magazine is regarded as one of the definitive platforms for the franchise sector. Winners will be announced at the EF100 Awards Ceremony in London on 12 March 2026.
