The countdown is on. It’s time to nominate for this year’s Top 30 Franchise Executives report.
This annual report is a showcase of the trailblazers who underpin the success of Australia’s franchised brands. Nominating someone in the sector to be listed in the report is a brilliant way to give the franchise industry’s most impactful leaders the recognition they deserve.
We are looking for the high-performers who have moved the needle on business growth, innovation, and financial performance. Whether they are navigating the complexities of franchise recruitment, revolutionising training protocols, or driving record-breaking commercial success, these leaders are the backbone of franchising.
Help us celebrate the outstanding passion, dedication, and performance that drives the best of the franchising industry’s high performers.
How to nominate a top franchise executive
You can nominate anyone who works for a head office or support role in a franchise operation including but not limited to the following roles: product development, marketing, training, business development, operations, franchising and leasing, as well as founder and CEO titles.
And don’t worry, if you’ve got a long list of top franchise executives, there’s no need to choose. You can nominate multiple people for the 2026 Top 30 Franchise Executives report.
Once nominated, eligible nominees will be asked for an online submission; sumbissions will be judged by a line-up of cross-industry experts to find the final top 30 executives.
Franchise Executives will reveal the Top 30 in May at a report launch.
Ready to nominate? You can nominate now – nominations close 10 February 2026.
