The plan emphasizes operational excellence and long-term growth, building on the results-driven approach that is UFG's foundation. The realignment leverages each member's expert skills to continue driving the company forward, with Ray Titus focusing on vision, culture, investments and long-term strategic direction as Chairman, CEO and Founder.

Ray Titus, Chairman, CEO and Founder of the company that shares four decades of franchising expertise with its entrepreneurs, explained that this is not a great departure from what they've always done but rather a more focused, intentional approach.
