ActionCOACH Bolton is thrilled to announce that our Managing Director and Head Coach, Paul Limb, is a finalist in the Community Hero category at the British Franchise Awards 2020..

Sponsored by HSBC UK, this award recognises individuals within franchises who help local businesses thrive. The winners will be announced on 30 November 2020 at The Vox in Birmingham.

Paul’s nomination highlighted his efforts during the Covid-19 lockdown. He generously offered spare coaching slots and conducted free webinars and workshops for over 450 business owners. He also provided expert advice through private Zoom sessions and set up a WhatsApp group for local business owners. Additionally, he shared valuable resources on the ActionCOACH Bolton website.

Paul expressed his gratitude, saying: “It’s an honour to be recognised for our efforts to help local businesses during these challenging times. However, we don’t see ourselves as heroes. The true heroes are those in the blue light services and public sector who have worked tirelessly throughout the pandemic. We’ve also seen incredible support within the business community, and they deserve recognition too.

Supporting these businesses has been incredibly rewarding. I’d like to thank everyone who nominated us for this award.”

Paul has over thirty years of experience in sales, marketing, team management, and commercial leadership. He has worked in both public and private sectors. ActionCOACH Bolton is committed to helping business owners and their teams grow throughout the local region.

The British Franchise Association, established in 1977, has set high standards for UK franchising. They offer a leading education portfolio and a platform for franchisers, franchisees, and professional advisers to connect.
