WORK HISTORY

ABOUT TOM HEPTON

For over 10 years I’ve helped franchise brands expand across the UK & internationally, focusing on one simple thing, finding the right franchise partners, not just filling territories and hoping for the best.I’ve worked with brands such as Shell, Ben & Jerry’s, Concept Claim Solutions, Jackson Fire & Security (plus a fair few others), supporting thoughtful, strategic expansion that’s built to last, not rushed growth that causes headaches later.My approach combines tried and tested marketing with modern digital tools, including AI-powered advertising, SEO, Google Ads, PR, videography and content creation. In short, I use the right mix to attract people who are genuinely interested, engaged and aligned, not just casually browsing.What I enjoy most is the people side of franchise recruitment. Where I can I stay hands on throughout the journey, qualifying, educating and guiding prospective franchisees so everyone knows exactly what they’re signing up for. When expectations are clear and values align, partnerships tend to work a whole lot better.Along the way I’ve built trusted relationships across the wider franchise community, allowing me to support clients beyond franchise marketing alone. Through these partnerships I help ensure every aspect of their growth journey is backed by experienced, reliable industry experts.
