LMI UK Franchise News – March 2025
Welcome to the March issue of LMI UK Franchise News, giving you further insight into the world of LMI and the partnership opportunity.
Another award – Franchise Direct Top 100
Last month we shared the news that for the 6th Year in a row, LMI had won the Entreprenuer Franchise 500 award for No.1 in Training Programmes. Hot on the heals of this fantastic 3rd party recognition, the world’s most renowned franchise awards came out, the Franchise Direct Top 100. We are excited to share that LMI made the list at #37, the highest for any training/coaching/business advisory organisation.
Leadership Lunch at Birmingham City
Mark Tonks has been an LMI franchisee for more than 20 years and has established a fantastic reputation during that time for serving clients with passion and integrity, and for helping them achieve life-changing results in their personal and professional leadership. One of Mark’s most important activities has been hosting leaderhip events, the latest of these being a prestigious Leadership Connect event at Birmingham City, St. Andrews where around 60 senior leaders met together to learn and inspire one another. The undoubted highlight was keynote speaker Jeremy Dale, CEO of Birmingham City F.C. who shared incredible stories from his time at Motarola, Orange and Microsoft, and now with a vision for transformation of not just a football club, but an entire city!
The Careers Podcast
As I write this it is National Careers Week, something we have been a big supporter of in recent years. One way in which we support the development of young people is through The Careers Podcast – an LMI UK initiative that for the last 4 years has been interviewing people doing all sorts of interesting jobs and asking them “what would you like to have known when you were 17?” From web designer to retail, builder to audiologist, with contributions from Richer Sounds, Centrica, Auditel and The Railway Association, The Careers Podcast has become an incredible compendium of careers and personal development information.

Foundations of Success Workshops
In these monthly newsletters we always share a little about these 2-hour online introduction sessions to the ideas and practical tools that LMI have been using for 60+ years to help people become more purposeful, organised and effective. They continue to be the best way for LMI UK team members to develop positive, lasting client relationships. Our standing offer of 2 free places to every UK organisation makes the ‘selling’ part of establishing your franchise business simple, friendly and, above all, non-salesy! If you’ve not been to one of these yet, you are welcome to attend (& invite a friend/colleague too)!
Here are a couple of recent reviews:
“The Foundations of Success workshop was engaging, enlightening and has revolutionised the way I approach my day-to-day planning.” Georgie
“…an excellent event. Over the years I have attended quite a few similar workshops talking about planning, goals and work prioritisation, but I’d say this one pulls it all together in an understandable and immediately applicable way for anyone who needs some help!” Peter
Upcoming dates (all 9-11am via Zoom):
- 18th March
- 11th April
