Batchelors Motor Group MD Tony Denton and the 'a la carte' franchise

The answer is Tony Denton, Batchelor Group’s owner and managing director, who continues the food-related theme by saying he believes in treating the franchised business like an à la carte menu.

“If the franchise asks us to do something, we’ll do it, but if it’s not right we’ll talk to them about a solution to make it better for all parties,” he said.

“Providing you accept that with franchising, then achieving the targets and selling the cars becomes attainable.”
