About This Video
In this Board Shorts episode, Agency Express managing director Ben Brooks answers a simple question, who are Agency Express and what do they actually do. He explains that Agency Express is the UK's largest board service provider, erecting, servicing, maintaining and managing the for sale, to let and commercial signage used by more than 7,500 estate and letting agents every day. Ben describes the scale of the operation, with the franchise network making around 120,000 property visits across the country as boards go up, change status and come back down. He sets out why the humble board remains such a powerful marketing tool, both advertising a property to nearby buyers and promoting the estate agent once a sale or let completes. Because each property is typically visited three times through its life cycle, and every customer is repeat business, the model creates a steady, reliable income for franchisees. He also traces the company's history from its 1998 launch in Norfolk under founder Steve Watson to a network of more than 250 franchisees, and points to newer services such as Agency Express QR codes that open up further earning opportunities. It is a clear overview for anyone curious about how the business works.
