On 24th February, IRUN held a Continual Professional Development day for its franchisees at the conference and training venue, Eynsham Hall in Oxfordshire. The CPD day gave IRUN franchisees the opportunity to get to know each other, especially as there were a number of new faces, as well as sharing their experiences of the market in these challenging times. The agenda included topics such as:
- Key business drivers
- Planning and resources
- Vertical marketing strategy
The day concluded with prize giving and awards, followed by a social gathering in the evening held at the White Hart in Eynsham.
A selection of the comments received from the IRUN franchisees:
“Brilliant – I always come away from the IRUN CPD days with a great ‘buzz’ and got a lot out of the day. It’s great to know that IRUN is always planning ahead and constantly moving forward in a dynamic way. What I found effective and exciting is that everyone is able to provide input for the content of the day.”
Paul Bourdillon - IRUN Canterbury
“The format of the IRUN CPD days is improving all the time. The past two CPD's have been the best that I have attended. As always, I found them to be great value, the break-out groups, in particular, are a great way to really understand the issues and to get to know the other members of the IRUN team.”
Peter Lisney - IRUN Telford
"When I have attended previous CPD days I have always come away feeling encouraged by new products or services. However, from this CPD day I came away feeling encouraged and excited about the number of new faces and at how the company is growing – best of all it is tremendous to know that we are not only getting quantity, but the new arrivals are really great quality as well.”
Paul de Ridder - IRUN Docklands
“I am gutted as I could not attend this time, but Ian Scott did attend to represent IRUN Bedford, his feedback was totally positive, he came back ‘supercharged’.”
Robert Umpleby – IRUN Bedford
