Make the Most of your Business Potential
Exhibiting at January’s British Franchise Exhibition on stand S100, Signs Express enrols the expertise of franchise veteran Ken Bevis to talk about his personal experiences as a successful franchisee.
Established in 1989, Signs Express has grown into the UK & Ireland’s largest sign and graphics manufacturer and has developed into one of the leading forces in the franchising arena. Exhibiting at the forthcoming British Franchise Exhibition on 25 & 26 January on stand S100 at the G-Mex Centre in Manchester, Signs Express offers a B2B management franchise package with comprehensive training and ongoing support.
Franchisees work from custom designed light industrial production units with dedicated vehicle application bays, which provide more flexibility than retail environments and are better suited to the lucrative B2B environment. The management franchise package includes comprehensive training and ongoing support covering all areas of the business. Experienced sign-makers and specialised equipment ensure client requests are completed to the highest standards. From here on, the franchisee receives ongoing support and advice from a dedicated team of over 25 industry professionals at Head Office; covering all disciplines including technical support, accounts, marketing, IT and operations.
Signs Express (N & NE Lincs) centre owner Ken Bevis will be on hand at stand S100 to talk about his franchise decision and the development of the business over the years.
When Ken decided to change his career after being in the army and running an international refrigeration transport company, he was eager for a fresh start and a new challenge. He became one of Signs Express’ first franchisees in 1992 and has developed and expanded his business to become a leading centre within the Signs Express network.
“The franchise option was a tried and tested idea and could provide me with the vital start I needed to develop my own business. After a comprehensive training program I have received support every step of the way. Even now, I receive advice on all matters including accounting, sales and marketing and technical issues,” Ken added.
“I have now been open for 15 years and business couldn’t be better! The brand image has had a big impact on the contracts we’ve obtained and represents the high quality service we provide. Over the years I have seen Signs Express grow to 80 franchises nationwide and I am delighted that I’ve been part of the journey. The company’s success must be attributed to its excellent training and ongoing support programmes, as well as of course, smart business sense and proven concepts.”
