In the dynamic world of franchising, it’s not just about keeping up with the pace but setting the pace. Over the past two years, CMC has not only kept up but has propelled forward, achieving milestones that reflect our commitment to excellence, innovation and positive impact for our franchisees. Here’s a glimpse of the journey we’ve had, outlining achievements both big and small.


Accreditation from the British Franchise Association (BFA) 

Our commitment to maintaining high standards and ethical practices in franchising has been recognised with accreditation from the British Franchise Association. This achievement not only validates our operational excellence but also reinforces our dedication to ethical business practices. 

Supporting Emerging Talent 

In collaboration with the Staffordshire & South Derbyshire Business Awards, we proudly supported the “Most Promising New Start Up Business.” Our comprehensive package, including 12 months of mentoring for the winners, VCTC, and a substantial cash injection, contributing to their success and helping build entrepreneurship and growth in the local business community. 

Driving Business Transformations 

CMC has played a pivotal role in numerous business transformations, with one notable success resulting in a remarkable 24% increase in revenue and an impressive 161% rise in operating profit. These transformations demonstrate our ability to bring about positive change and drive sustainable growth for our clients. 

Business Awards UK: Biggest Commercial Impact 

One of our business advisers, Jon Corns, received recognition as a recipient of the Business Awards UK for achieving the Biggest Commercial Impact. This is a testament to the tangible and positive influence CMC has had on businesses under our guidance. This acknowledgment motivates us to continue making a significant difference in the commercial landscape.

Comprehensive Re-branding 

Embracing change and evolution, we embarked on a comprehensive company re-branding. This included the launch of a new website, presenting a refreshed and modern identity that aligns with our forward-thinking approach. 

Introduction of CRM System 

Staying ahead in the technological landscape, we also introduced a new Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. This enhancement has helped streamline our interactions, enabling us to provide more personalised and efficient services to our clients.
