Returning to Old Pastures
Dave and Anne Hitch join the growing Signs Express franchise network after purchasing the company's Peterborough franchise from its retiring owners. The Peterborough centre has been in operation since 1993 and employs three staff. Dave and Anne are very confident about the future and are looking forward to working with customers old and new.
After growing up in the Peterborough area, Dave was keen to move back to his home town. Following a career in the RAF and a long spell abroad working for British Aerospace in Saudi Arabia, Dave set up his own IT consultancy business in 1999. A desire to work with his wife and spending excess time away from the family working in London led to the couple looking into business opportunities in the Peterborough area.
Dave comments, I heard about Signs Express following a chance meeting with an old friend. He had been awarded a management franchise with Signs Express in the Grantham area after leaving the RAF and was getting on really well. He gave me the contact details for Head Office and I called them to find out more.
Anne continues, We found out more about franchising as a business venture and decided it would be the right avenue for us. Both Dave and I have considerable business experience and are looking forward to having the responsibility of making our own decisions whilst benefiting from the support network of a national company. I have recently completed a BA Hon. degree in Management Administration so am enjoying controlling the sales and admin support side of the business whilst Dave concentrates on overseeing the production side.
We were delighted when the Peterborough franchise became available. It is such a well established business with a large customer base we have been busy from the outset. Signs Express has an excellent reputation for customer service and quality workmanship and we are determined to maintain this in the Peterborough area.
We have received excellent training and support from Head Office. It is great that the back-up of a well established system is just a phone call away.
Signs Express is the largest sign company in the UK and Ireland with centres serving over 75 areas across the country.
