KD client scoops franchise award

Corinne Stevenson, the Rosemary Conley Diet and Fitness Clubs franchisee in Gloucester South has scooped the company’s top Newcomer of the Year 2009 Award after beating off competition from many of the 180 franchisees nationwide.

Rosemary Conley CBE presented the top accolade to Corinne from Longford, Gloucester, along with a cheque for £500, at an awards ceremony held at the Barceló Hinckley Island Hotel, Leicestershire on Friday 23rd October.

Each week, Corinne, who has been operating a Rosemary Conley Diet and Fitness Club franchise since September 2008, runs 11 classes in Gloucester South.

Says Rosemary Conley: “The Newcomer of the Year Award is presented to a new franchisee who has achieved the best performance in their first year and we are delighted to present Corinne with this award.

“In a very short time, Corinne has succeeded in building a very successful business. She has completed an intensive training programme and is fully qualified to teach exercise and nutrition.  She provides an excellent level of customer service for her members and in the past year, Corinne has helped hundreds of members to lose weight and become fitter and healthier.”

“Running her franchise doesn’t feel like work to Corinne; ‘she just loves it’. Customer service is a high priority to her and because of this, Corinne enjoys one of the highest levels of market penetration in the whole network – and this is in her first year! She has excellent organisational skills and a positive attitude, which have all proved to be invaluable in growing her business. 

Corinne added: “I am thrilled to receive the Newcomer of the Year 2009 Award.  Running a Rosemary Conley Diet and Fitness Club is incredibly rewarding and it is a terrific achievement to receive this award.”
