Stars of Signage to Be Recognized at Top Awards

Global sign and graphics specialist FASTSIGNS, will be holding its annual UK convention from Friday 1st – 2nd December, where the winners of its annual awards will be revealed at a grand gala dinner.

The convention event is the pinnacle of the FASTSIGNS UK network calendar and aims to bring the network together, reward and recognise the successes of 2017, share corporate updates and showcase the latest technology advancements in the signs and graphics sector to FASTSIGNS’ integrated network of 22 UK franchisees.

During the event, franchisees will be able to engage in peer to peer learning, education through seminars and will have the opportunity to network and meet with industry leading trade suppliers that are both new and existing within the FASTSIGNS supply chain.

This year, the supplier showcase is set to be the biggest yet, with 30+ businesses exhibiting, eager to make new connections and demonstrate how they can support FASTSIGNS centres in meeting their clients’ needs.

Making the special trip to attend the event, global CEO, Catherine Monson, will fly in from the USA to open the convention. In addition to delivering a series of keynote speeches sharing her insights into the franchising world, Catherine will also be announcing the prize winners at the glamourous awards ceremony which will be held on the Friday evening.

The hotly anticipated accolades include the coveted comprehensive customer solutions of the year award, which recognises the centre that has delivered the most impressive full service signage, graphic and visual communications solution project for a customer. Other awards recognise the supplier of the year, project of the year, employee of the year and the pinnacle of the awards presentations will be the recognition for the ‘Franchisee of the Year’.

John Davies, UK managing director for FASTSIGNS, believes that the awards are the perfect way to reflect on the year just passed, prepare for the year ahead, and give well deserved praise to the hard work of all of the franchisees and their teams of colleagues.

“2017 has been a dynamic year for the FASTSIGNS UK network; we have experienced growth, not only in physical centres but also in revenue generated across the whole network. The awards attained are testament to the hard work of each and every one of our franchisees and their centre teams.

“We aim to make the convention informative but also enjoyable, to thank all of our franchisees for their dedication in developing their own businesses and thereby strengthening the entire UK FASTSIGNS network. I am incredibly proud of them all.”

This year the convention and awards ceremony will be held in Grade I listed country house hotel, Rushton Hall in Kettering, Northamptonshire.
