## Story

Kimisha Lewis is the new franchisee of Razzamataz Coventry and Brittany Arthur is the franchisee of Razzamataz Lancaster. Both have just opened after attending the company’s training where they attended sessions by a team of experienced professionals to learn every part of the theatre school business.

Both Brittany and Kimisha have received guidance and support throughout every stage, from initial enquiry about becoming a franchisee, throughout their early training and then regular support calls to enable them to have successful launches.

"The launch was buzzing with excitement, and we felt like a Razzamataz family from the minute our prospective students walked through the door,” says Kimisha. “We are so excited to bring Razzamataz to Coventry and share the curriculum, which is something new for the local community. After the launch I received so many lovely messages from parents saying how much they enjoyed the day.

One parent said: ‘You and your team were so professional, so friendly and welcoming and so very talented. My son loved it, and we are very excited for him to start his journey with you.’ I’m very excited to be part of the Razzamataz network and share all the amazing opportunities that the Head Office provides with my students and families.”

The Lancaster and Coventry schools are the first new schools to launch this year, with other schools and additional Razzamataz products on the way. In September, schools in Manchester, Dorchester and Billericay will be opened as well as a new franchise partner for our Derby school and a new partnership at our Sutton Coldfield school. This means there are five new schools with five new franchise partners joining the Razzamataz network.
