WE ARE FAMILIA

We’ve been there. We get it. We’ve built it.

We’re Familia. A franchise growth consultancy specialising in scaling networks and recruiting franchisees. Founded by Julie and Martin Clabby, we bring over 25 years of commercial experience as marketers, brand builders and franchise operators.

We’ve built and scaled a successful UK franchise brand of our own – growing from 1 location to over 50 franchised sites and winning the BFA Emerging Franchisor Award in 2016. That means we know what it takes to grow from the inside, not just advise from the sidelines. Whether you’re launching your first franchise or accelerating recruitment to scale faster, we help you move with confidence and avoid the mistakes we learned the hard way.

OUR APPROACH

Real experience. No fluff. Focused on results.

We work as an extension of your team. That might mean collaborating with your people, supporting your existing suppliers or stepping in where you need an extra pair of hands. Everything we do is shaped around your goals. Whether it’s a long-term growth plan or a short-term recruitment push, we stay focused on what works.

We don’t hand over a document and disappear. We stay involved, track performance and help you keep up momentum. Because growth is about action, not just ideas.
