#137 Chatting about Franchising with Anna Neville

Woman Who Chat

Today I’m chatting to Anna Neville of Kindslingo, Solopreneur Award Winner 2024.

We chat about Anna’s background and business journey and how she started her business providing language services for children.

We also chat about how Anna grew her business, how she investigated growth models and franchised it in 2013. Anna now has over 80 franchisees. Franchising is a very common model in the children’s sector.

We chat about how important it is to learn languages from a young age, so much easier than when we’re adults. It’s now more common for languages to be taught in early years curriculum in nursery school

Anna was a deserving Award winner.

Here are the Judges words:

“The true embodiment of a ‘solopreneur’ – with a drive for passion and understanding in her franchisee relationships, you could see the joy and sense of purpose Anna gets from her work. The magnitude of setting up a franchise business of this scale should not be underestimated. She deserves every success on her continued journey..”
