Prima Hatfield Director, Martin Wood, says:“Prima Hatfield Associates elected to join the BFA as it’s an industry recognised body that ethically guides and supports businesses like ours within the franchising arena. For us, it was very much a case of why would we not want to be part of the BFA. Our franchised element of the business will benefit from the ongoing support, as well as the networking opportunities provided, as we seek to continually develop the Prima Hatfield Associates brand and move forward with our UK growth strategy.”
Prima Hatfield Associates operates as a recruitment consultancy provide recruitment solutions to a range of local and national companies as part of a growing franchise network.

Its aim is to promote ethical franchising practice in the UK and help the industry develop credibility, influence and favourable circumstance for growth. As a result one of the BFA's main jobs is to help potential franchisees recognise the good, the bad, and the ugly franchise opportunities for what they are.
