Testimonials
"I decided to open my own franchise for the independence and the challenge! After researching a lot of companies, Signs Express were the most professional. On making the trip to the Norwich Head Office, I was absolutely delighted with the set up as it re-enforced my initial thoughts. The organisation and advice from Head Office throughout my training and the set-up of my production unit have been invaluable."
Michael O'Hara, Sligo
“We’ve doubled our turnover from £240k to £500k and we’re still seeing steady growth.”

“Starting in business from scratch really gave us a sense of achievement. When we started looking there wasn’t much scope for buying an already established franchise so we were lucky that our local area was still available. It was ideal and fitted well with our requirements.” Nick Baxter-Sibley, Franchisee, Exeter.
“Financial security is the main reward along with the freedom of being my own boss and the pleasure of seeing my business grow.” – Nick Dawes, Franchisee, Ipswich.
“The business has allowed me to spend more time with my family and gives me the freedom to choose my working hours.” – Jayesh Patel, Franchisee, Twickenham.
