Nick Williams - Managing Consultant

Following a long career with Barclays Bank PLC encompassing senior management and with a particular interest in developing new businesses, Nick Williams joined Franchise Development Services (now Ashtons Franchise Consulting – AFC) in 2001 in a consulting capacity.

In his time there he covered most of the European International Franchise Exhibitions and of course those in the USA; gaining a good understanding of International Franchising and Master Franchise development.

Today he leads the Ashtons Franchise Consulting team. Nick works with PLCs, successful private companies, partnerships and sole traders. He is an Affiliate of the British Franchise Association (bfa) speaking on the benefits of franchising at bfa events, the major banks and also for AFC.

Still a keen squash player, though not very competent nowadays! Recognised as a purveyor of ‘dad jokes’ around the office! Enjoys socialising and more importantly the relationship with clients.

Nick loves hosting franchise seminars, and has held many over the years. Watch the video below to see him presenting a ‘How to franchise your business’ seminar at The National Franchise Exhibition.
