Preston-based OSCAR Pet Foods wins a coveted Silver ‘Franchisor of the Year’ accolade at the nationally recognised 2019 bfa HSBC Franchise Awards.

The thrill of winning Silver in its 25th Anniversary year surpasses OSCAR’s excitement at being shortlisted for two categories. This special Silver Award shines a light of sparkling achievement on its hard working and highly respected network of franchisees. Achieving such success would not have been possible without their enthusiasm to pursue fact-based knowledge combined with the dedicated support of their Head Office Team working tirelessly to sustain such high standards.

Successful strategies to enhance business development within an ever-expanding industry remain one of the company’s greatest strengths – ensuring its business moves forwards with inspiring new agendas. Using education as a primary tool for progress by promoting the importance of animal welfare through a uniquely recognised qualification focussing on health, disease, and animal behaviour is paving the way to both franchisee and customer confidence.

The silver key to OSCAR's complete pet care service (alongside its range of high-quality products) unlocks the professionalism that every caring pet owner deserves by ensuring its franchisees deliver the highest standards of pet care in the industry.

Managing Director, Richard Martin explains: “We are constantly evolving and listening to ensure that OSCAR is so much more than pet food, and this accolade demonstrates external recognition of these efforts. The future of OSCAR Pet Foods rests in the hands of our talented network of franchisees and allowing them to thrive is essential to our business.”

Achieving this silver success adds to OSCAR's renowned credibility. Offering a franchise package based on personal choice of financial investment with bespoke business requirements means OSCAR fulfils every individual’s dream of self-employment.
