Thank you, Pepe & Gill, and welcome Scotland!
There have
been plenty of changes at Mail Boxes Etc. UK & Ireland this year,
(following the acquisition by our global master licensor, MBE Worldwide
network, joining Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Poland and Portugal as a
directly operated country) and September was no different!
We have
reacquired the area license for Scotland from the former Area Franchisee
Abbanoy Logistics, owned and operated by Pepe Bascetta. Pepe and his wife Gill
have provided sales and operational support to the individual franchise centre
owners for many years.
Whilst all
centres will remain under their current ownership Mail Boxes Etc. UK &
Ireland will provide Network Support directly to the Scottish centre
franchisees from October 1st. However, as part of the handover Pepe and Gill
will continue to offer their guidance and assistance throughout September,
which includes undertaking our annual Business Quality Assessments with
franchisees.
Francis Laryea, managing
director of Mail Boxes Etc. UK said:
“Pepe and Gill have done an
incredible job ensuring the franchisees had everything they needed to become
successful, and we really want to thank them for that. Going forward we’re
looking forward to working closely with our franchise partners in Scotland to
replicate the great support they have been given.”
Mail Boxes
Etc. is now looking for a dedicated network support team member to provide top
quality sales development advice and operational support to the store owners.
