Minister visits growing franchise

The Minister for Small Business and E-Commerce, Patricia Hewitt MP, together with David Taylor, the MP for North West Leicestershire, visited Colleen Denby, an FSB member, at the launch of her successful Village Green franchise. Village Green is a domestic PA service specialising in house and animal sitting, daily pet visits, house-keeping and gardening and has been identified as a business with high growth potential. At the visit, Hewitt presented the first local franchisees with their certificate to trade. Denby hopes to develop the brand into 100 franchise areas around the country.
