About The Wilsher Group

The Wilsher Group works with organisations to help them to meet the challenge of change. Our combination of consultancy (providing senior level analysis to the root problem) and implementation (actually delivering programmes designed to permanently change attitudes and behaviours) is uniquely able to deliver ongoing behavioural change within our clients’ organisations. By specialising in the "people" and "attitudes" area of change, and by applying the senior skills of our franchisees in this area, we enjoy exceptional success-rates that are several times that of the industry norm. At the Wilsher Group, our values focus on quality of life, caring relationships and support, profit for all and re-investment in the community. We like these values to permeate our whole approach and find that they achieve results for those who deal with us.

Our history

The Wilsher Group was founded in 1989 by Simon Wilsher, with Geo Roberts joining him soon after. Together they designed products, an approach and a culture that built on their 15 years experience as franchisees of an international training group. In October 2002, Simon and Geo launched The Wilsher Group franchise. As ex-franchisees themselves, they really understand the challenges and opportunities of franchising. They remain passionately committed to making their values the foundation of everything we do and find clients like this approach.

Our track record
 

The Wilsher Group has achieved great things over the past decade. Our clients value the impact we make on people's lives. They include many small organisations and larger blue-chips, such as Cambridge University Press, Company Barclaycard, Domino Sciences, Osborne Clarke, Orange, Virgin and Visa.

We guide you through setting up and developing your operation. Everything is included: training skills, programme overviews, use of our training management software.

Finance

The Investment
You will need funding of around £45,000 to become a Wilsher Group franchisee. The initial fee is £27,500 and we recommend you have access to an additional £17,500 working capital to draw on as you build your business. The initial fee, payable to Wilsher Franchising contributes to a package including your development, management software that helps you run your business, a starter pack and a franchise fee.

Your Income
Your income opportunities are good; £50K after the first year. Clearly there is scope to exceed these income figures. Income in the first year maybe lower as franchisees will be spending time training and developing their networks.
