Meet Pink Spaghetti business owner, Abbie Akinfenwa 

From Corporate High Flyer to Pink Spaghetti Franchisee 

When Abbie Akinfenwa joined Pink Spaghetti Franchise in 2016, it was the start of an exciting new chapter. Having held a very senior role in IT in London - complete with extensive international travel - Abbie was ready for a change in direction. With her youngest daughter about to start university, it felt like the right time to reassess her career and lifestyle. 
 
“I had thought about becoming a virtual assistant,” Abbie explains. “I wanted to find a concept I could do myself, but then I decided to see who was already doing it.” That’s when she discovered Pink Spaghetti. Drawn to the approachable ethos and affordable entry point, Abbie realised Pink Spaghetti offered exactly what she needed to make her next move. 
 
Why Abbie Chose Pink Spaghetti 
Abbie was looking for a franchise that would help her build a business without starting from scratch, and Pink Spaghetti delivered. “Pink Spaghetti is an awesome franchise to be part of,” she says. “The training and support you get to get your business up and running is brilliant. It’s really comprehensive and accessible.” 
 
From the outset, Pink Spaghetti provided Abbie with everything she needed to succeed: 
- Comprehensive training to help her establish her business. 
- A supportive network of franchisees sharing advice and experiences. 
- Ongoing mentoring, regular webinars, accessible resources, and a direct support line for any questions. 
 
The Best of Both Worlds 
One of the things Abbie values most about Pink Spaghetti is the perfect balance between independence and support. “You’re given all the procedures and tools you need, but you also have the independence to run your business your way,” she explains. “It’s the best of both worlds.” 
 
This approach has given Abbie the freedom to grow her business at her own pace, with the confidence that she’s never on her own. 
 
Advice for Potential Franchisees 
For anyone considering a franchise, Abbie has one message: “Pink Spaghetti is up there in terms of streamlined procedures and giving you all the tools you need to run the business yourself. I would highly recommend joining Pink Spaghetti.” 
 
Abbie’s journey highlights how Pink Spaghetti’s proven model and supportive network empower franchisees to turn their transferable skills into thriving businesses - all while enjoying a flexible, fulfilling career.
