ars and it doesn’t look like they’re slowing down! This year, the UK arm of the global franchise is celebrating their 50th anniversary and they’re kicking 2015 off by hosting two large tool fairs for franchisees to come together and support each other’s businesses.
The first tool fairs of the year took place in Gatwick and Manchester. Over 370 attendees attended and all were given the chance to attend training sessions on topics such as using technology to help with their businesses, growing their businesses by introducing an assistant and how to close deals on toolboxes. Throughout the day, franchisees also had the opportunity to purchase great products for their businesses. The day’s events were followed by an awards ceremony and black tie evening dance to help franchisees unwind and celebrate everyone’s successes.
With over 430 franchisees based in the UK and Ireland, Snap-on have a successful, proven business model and they’re looking to continue this success and expand their network over the next 50 years and beyond!

“I was young when I started so franchising was the best option I had to start my own business. I’d dealt with Snap-on before so I knew it was a good product because I was already a customer. As soon as I’d been on my first van ride and had been introduced to the system I knew that I wanted in!” adds Steven Scott, Lanarkshire franchisee.
And it’s not just the franchisees who enjoy the benefits and rewards of the Snap-on brand. In an independent industry survey, Snap-on was the clear number one choice of the professional technician. For 80% of respondents, Snap-on was the top choice for hand tools and 65% chose Snap-on for tool storage. With a global franchise system of over 4,700 franchisees selling over 22,000 products, you can have complete confidence that partnering with Snap-on means partnering with the best.
