The United Franchise Group is proud to announce that Nancy and Pete Bloomfield from EmbroidMe Frankston have been inducted into the EmbroidMe Hall of Fame. This prestigious industry award was bestowed at the United Franchise Group World Expo 2010 – the industry’s largest privately held vendor tradeshow – held at the Marriott World Center Orlando Florida in July 2010. EmbroidMe is the world’s largest embroidery franchise with over 400 locations in 15 countries.
“I feel like I’ve won an academy award,” said Nancy Bloomfield. “We are truly honoured to be selected to join this elite group of owners who represent excellence in the industry in every possible way.”
The 16 existing EmbroidMe Hall of Fame members inducted since Embroidme began 10 years ago choose new inductees into the Hall of Fame from over 400 businesses around the world. The EmbroidMe Hall of Fame award represents the best of the best in EmbroidMe franchises. Also honoured as Hall of Fame inductees were Kim and Gavin Unruh (Dodge City, Kansas USA), and Angelo Bonvino & Michele & George Hanken (Nanuet, New York USA).”
“Nancy and Pete represent everything we are looking for in Hall of Fame winners,” said Ray Titus, president and founder of United Franchise Group. “They have a highly successful EmbroidMe location, and they are excellent team players serving as mentors and leaders to guide other owners in our extensive franchise system.” Among other requirements for the Hall of Fame award, the franchise must have been in business for at least five years and reached $500,000 in sales for two consecutive years.
Pete and Nancy’s previous successes have led to their induction into the Hall of Fame recognizing achievement at the highest level. EmbroidMe Frankston’s previous awards include one International and two Australasian President’s Awards in 2007 and 2008, the International Mentor of the Year Award and a Top Quality Award in 2008. Also at the 2010 UFG Expo in Orlando, EmbroidMe Frankston’s Heather Salter became the first Australian EmbroidMe salesperson to be presented with an International Salesperson of the Year Award.
“Nancy and I are truly blessed to be part of the EmbroidMe family” said Pete. “They support our local business with the strength of successful international system.”
