ComputerXplorers, the popular provider of children’s extra-curricular computing classes, is delighted to announce its recognition as one of the premier franchise opportunities in the UK. Standing out among numerous competitors across various sectors, it has secured a prominent position among the top 100 by claiming the no.65 position in the highly regarded Elite Franchise Top 100 (EF100) – a title it will proudly hold throughout 2025.  

ComputerXplorers is one of the world’s leading children’s computing education franchises, teaching over 30,000 children weekly in a variety of formats including after school clubs, holiday camps and schooltime lessons. It partners with leading technology brands to ensure students can benefit from learning about the latest age-appropriate software, coding languages and hardware in safe and engaging environments. 

Stuart Harley, CEO of ComputerXplorers, said: “ComputerXplorers is a growing brand with big ambitions and is committed to improving access to quality computing education for all children. We are delighted to have our franchise recognised within the top 100 in the EF100 awards alongside such well-established and successful businesses, especially in our first year of entering the awards. We are always on the lookout for new franchisees to join our supportive and innovative network and help broaden our reach across the UK and internationally, bringing our classes to even greater numbers of children.” 

Since 2017, the EF100, sponsored by HSBC UK, has become a significant fixture in the UK franchising calendar. This ranking evaluates franchisors on numerous criteria, including the scale and speed of their growth, their support to franchisees, and their contributions to community prosperity. Such initiatives are essential for the advancement and evolution of the franchising industry.   

Franchisors strive tirelessly to innovate and improve, aiming for a place in this esteemed league table. Now in its eighth year, the competition is fiercer than ever, with a distinguished panel of judges setting rigorous standards and introducing a new People’s Choice award voted by Elite Franchise subscribers.  

Anita Roberts, Franchise Director at HSBC UK, commented: “The resilience and innovation shown in the face of all the challenges the British business environment throws at us is truly commendable.”   

Despite a turbulent and ever-changing economic landscape, ComputerXplorers has thrived over the past year, thanks to its robust business model and resilient operational structure.  

The ComputerXplorers team is proud not only of providing outstanding computing education for children across the UK and internationally, but also of being recognised as a top-tier opportunity for aspiring entrepreneurs.
