#1 For 6th Year in a Row!

Every year since 1980 Entrepreneur publish their Franchise 500 listing which recognises the best Franchise opportunities in the world. About the listings, they write:

“Over the four-and-a-half decades since then, the franchise industry has seen a lot of changes, including trends that have come and gone (and sometimes come again!) and new regulations. But through it all, the franchise model has remained resilient. It continues to be an increasingly attractive avenue for people interested in starting and running their own business.

There’s one more thing that hasn’t changed since 1980, and that’s the goal of this list— to recognize the franchise companies that are doing it best.”

We are therefore incredibly proud to once again be recognised on this Top 500 list and, for the 6th year in a row, be Number 1 in Training Programmes. This is a fantastic accolade which sees LMI returning strong results for Cost & Fees, Size & Growth, Franchisee Support & Brand Strength.

LMI President Jonah Erbe dedicated this achievement to all those who make up the incredible global LMI community:

“Without our amazing team of leaders around the world in nearly 90 countries, this would not be possible. Thank you to each and every one of our team members, partners, clients, and mentors who change lives every day. 2025 will be the best year yet!”

Marcus Haycock, Finalist ‘Best Service & Solution Provider’

Marcus became an LMI Franchisee in 2024 following a highly successful career in leadership and business consulting in the Medical Aesthetics industry.
Having recognised a huge opportunity to serve those in the industry he knows so well though offering world-class leadership development programmes, Marcus has quickly made a name for himself as the go-to leadership provider for the UK medical aesthetics community. Building on his existing reputation for outstanding results and genuine care for his clients, Marcus has already established himself and become a regular keynote speaker and in-demand panel guest at various industry events in the UK and further afield, with a growing number of repeat business from happy clients.

Marcus was nominated by one of those clients for ‘Best Service and Solution Provider’ at the Annual Aesthetic Awards 2025 and in recognition of those early successes, has been shortlisted as a finalist. Congratulations Marcus! We are looking forward to the awards event and the tension of that golden envelope reveal on 15th March.
