Aspray qualifies for excellence

Aspray celebrates as one of its key staff earns a prestigious qualification.

Property insurance claims management franchise Aspray has set itself apart from its competitors as one of just a few companies to have its own Qualified Franchise Professional (QFP).

The franchise’s head of legal and compliance, Richard Loasby, spent three years working towards the difficult qualification. As well as studying in his own free time, Loasby had to attend workshops, seminars and conferences, pass exams on specific areas of franchising and complete two written papers. In addition, he had to have nerves of steel to get through a challenging panel interview with senior members of the British Franchise Association (BFA), which sets and upholds the standards of franchising excellence.

Thanks to Loasby’s dedication, Aspray is now one of just 150 franchisors to have its own qualified franchise professional. It will set the company apart from its competitors, as just 73 of these businesses are within the British franchise sector, meaning new franchisees can be assured that Aspray is the right company to start their franchising journey with.

Loasby was presented with his prestigious qualification at the BFA conference and he explained why he felt the hard work was worth it.

“It was important for Aspray to communicate its dedication to quality and high standards, but also to demonstrate to potential franchisees that we care about their journeys as they build their property claims management, loss-assessing businesses and have the in-house specialists who will assist them every step of the way. Aspray, as a business, upholds and promotes the standards of the BFA and having a QFP in-house is a further demonstration of this.”

He added that he hopes prospective franchisees will see this as an endorsement of the insurance franchise’s commitment to excellence, honesty and ethical practice.
