One of the things that makes our network so strong is the variety of backgrounds that our Franchise Owners come from and therefore the different strengths and transferable skills that they each bring. From accountants to midwives, from IT project managers to solicitors, from sales managers to swimming teachers, the love of the Puddle Ducks brand and swimming programme is what binds everyone together.
