Our Guildford franchise is up for sale - meet current owner, Anthony...

"My wife and I are both actors and wanted to start a business of our own, one that would use our skill base; pulling funny faces, jumping up and down, using funny voices - that sort of thing! But we also wanted to run a business that made a difference. Knowing we didn’t have the time or experience to set up our own business from scratch, we decided to look into franchising options..

In case you're considering whether or not buying a Pyjama Drama franchise is for you, we wanted to introduce ourselves. After all, if you choose to run a business with us, we'll be working very closely together!

We're only halfway through January and what a month it's turning out to be!

At the beginning of the month, Directors Sarah and Rachel flew to Holland for a meeting with our American colleague Sarah Rijnen, to firm up our plans for taking  Pyjama Drama into schools in California. We then met with our Malaysian colleagues for a catch-up and brainstorming session about Pyjama Drama in Kuala Lumpur.

Sarah then spent three days in Warwick training Play Makers...

Last weekend our franchisees packed their bags and made their way to Manchester for our Annual Seminar, flooding the city with a sea of red. Setting out from all corners of the UK and even California, they arrived raring to go, each determined to make the very most out of our two days together - to meet new franchisees, catch up with old friends and most importantly to learn how they could continue to grow their Pyjama Drama businesses. And boy did we learn a LOT!

We have been delivering magical, exciting drama classes for over ten years, and for the past seven of these have managed a team of talented and enthusiastic franchisees across the UK, and more recently in Australia and Malaysia. Over the years we’ve learned a lot from the children we teach, and from the franchisees we work alongside. As a result, our business has flourished and our award winning franchise has gone from strength to strength.

Anthony and Ana-Maria are both experienced actors, are engaged to be married this coming autumn and have recently combined their passion for drama and working with young children to go into business together running a Pyjama Drama franchise in the Guildford and Surrey Hills area.

It's human nature to like praise, to get that pat on the back that lets you know you're doing a good job. When you're running your own business, when you're the boss, sometimes those pats on the back can feel few and far between! That's why the testimonials that our franchisees get from parents and teachers mean so very much, and why being shortlisted for a business award, having been nominated by those very same customers, means more than you can imagine!
