Weight Loss Franchising Business Opportunity plans to expand in Ireland with creation of 100 jobs
in 2011. Motivation Weight Management Clinics runs an Irish network of 23 clinics countrywide, with over 120 employees. Owner Paul Connolly is in negotiations to develop new franchise opportunities in the west, midlands, and north of Ireland.

Connolly established his first clinic on Dawson Street in Dublin 6 years ago, and added a second clinic at the Beacon in Sandyford in recent years. Between 600 and 700 clients are seen at these two clinics each week. The franchisees of the Limerick clinic opened a new Tralee facility, while a 25th one has opened in Maynooth. ‘‘We get a couple of enquiries every week from people interested in establishing clinics, including previous clients or friends of theirs who have seen their success," Connolly said. ‘‘We are big on quality control, however, and meet any interested people around six or eight times before we decide if they are suitable. They then go through a training process in Sandyford."

Connolly is currently examining other franchise opportunities across Ireland in Sligo, Clonmel, Ennis, Wexford, Castlebar, Roscommon, Carrick-on-Shannon, Monaghan, Thurles and Tullamore.
There are also currently negotiations with interested parties about bringing the brand to the North.
Connolly also believes MWMC can be exported to Britain and further afield, and is shortly introducing a new programme for teenagers. The clinics are based on the premise that being overweight and over-eating are psychological. To search Franchises for sale in Ireland, please click the Home link.
