Anna Neville, Kidslingo’s franchisor, has won the prestigious Woman Franchisor of the Year title at the Encouraging Women in Franchising (EWiF) awards 2025 – alongside 2 finalist places in other categories.
Anna has earned a strong reputation for her dedication, innovative approach, and ability to inspire those around her — qualities that have not gone unnoticed. On Thursday 15th May, she was officially recognised by the UK franchising industry. Several other inspirational industry leaders were nominated for the award, but Anna shone above every other finalist in the judges’ eyes, at the prestigious event at the NatWest building in London.
Every year, the EWiF annual awards celebrates the achievements of women in franchising. Over 100 franchising professionals travelled from across the UK to applaud the successes of women in business. Franchising was, traditionally speaking, dominated by men, which is why the organisers of these awards believe it’s so important to honour women, specifically.
