New franchisee planning second van after just a few months in business!

March 25, 2025

In September 2024 Simon Dugan became one of Countrywide Signs’ newest franchisees, taking on the very promising Bristol & Bath territory.

Following his training in October he has been able to leverage franchise’s reputation to immediately set up some work with quite a number of local estate agents. Just as well, as he also has 3 adult sons who want to get in on the action as soon as the business has grown big enough!

In 2025 he is still doing incredibly well. In just his first two full months in business, he’d started working with 27 different local agents, and invoiced more than £3k for December 2024 alone. He’s already reached around 80% of his workload capacity, so he is now seriously considering taking on a 2nd van and driver to help meet demand. The work just keeps pouring in!

Simon has always been very ambitious about growing his own business, and the Countrywide Signs franchise is helping him do exactly that. His goal was to be part of a management franchise where he could eventually oversee at least 4 or 5 vans and really tap into every scrap of the vast potential of his new territory.

With the start he has already had, we’re very confident he will succeed!

Even bigger things lie ahead for Simon in 2025….and maybe for you, too!

Countrywide Signs franchise has been chosen as the approved supplier of property signage to Purple Bricks, the UK’s largest online estate and letting agent, which means even more business for every single franchise owner in every location around the country.

We’re talking 100s, if not 1000s, more signs for every franchisee to add to their work schedule.

Do you live in or near any of these areas?

Simon’s territory in Bristol & Bath is definitely proving to be a serious money spinner, but all Countrywide Signs franchise territories are calculated to provide equal opportunities for success. However, with this incredible new deal coming in, they are especially keen to find franchisees for the following areas to make sure they can meet this huge, new demand:

Gloucestershire
Oxfordshire
Luton
Scotland
North Wales
South Wales

If you, or anyone you know, is hoping to open their own business in one of these areas, I definitely recommend you get in touch or forward this email onto them.

Now could be a great time for you to learn a bit more about the Countrywide Signs franchise, and how it could work for you. So, why not get in touch so we can schedule a call.
