Signs Express Snaps Up New Franchisee

Signs Express, the UK’s leading signs and graphics franchise, is celebrating 25 years of franchising this year and has just welcomed their newest franchisee, Ben Walker on board. The brand-new Bristol centre opened in October and is already off to a flying start.

“It’s been a busy month, getting my premises perfect for the launch of the business and I am so excited to get out in the community I love and start making connections.”

Ben has a wealth of experience across many industries from diagnostic sales to most recently running his own Snap-On-Tools franchise, which is already serving him well as the 66th centre within the nationwide Signs Express network.

Managing Director of the Signs Express group, Craig Brown, stated, “Ben is a very hands-on franchisee and is so enthusiastic that we have the utmost confidence in him. His unit looks fabulous and with his background as a previous franchisee at another company makes him the perfect leader for our new branch in Bristol.”

Ben moved to Bristol ten years ago and has a strong affinity to the county, which he is excited to begin operating in. Based on Avonbank Industrial Estate, Signs Express (Bristol) is a newly furbished unit with industry-leading technology, such as the HP Latex 365 wide-format printer that offers faultless print results and the versatility to print on more substrates than ever before.

Ben Walker has also benefitted from the unique offering Signs Express have for all brand-new centres by investing £30k into the business. But reinvesting their entire franchise fee and adding further investment, Signs Express help new franchisees hit the ground running from day one!
