Richard’s Journey: From Franchisee to Master Franchisor
On Tuesday 24 February (7–8pm), we’re hosting a virtual fireside chat with Chief Richard Uku, where he’ll share his personal journey with Club Pilates—from becoming a franchisee to leading the brand’s growth in the UK as Master Franchisor.
This isn’t a presentation or a pitch.
It’s an open, honest conversation for anyone curious about franchising and what it really takes to succeed within the Club Pilates franchise model.
We’ll talk about:
• Why Richard chose franchising and Club Pilates
• What went well — and what didn’t — in the early days
• Lessons learned as a franchisee
• Why he stepped into the Master Franchisor role
• His vision for Club Pilates in the UK and how the rollout has gone so far
There’ll also be plenty of time for live Q&A.
If you’re early in your franchise journey, exploring options, or simply curious to learn from real experience, this is a great place to start.
