For the third consecutive year, FASTSIGNS are finalists for one of the prestigious BFA HSBC Awards. This year, we’ve been shortlisted for the ‘Franchise Support Award’.

When it comes to supporting our franchisees, there’s not much we wouldn’t do for them… within legal parameters! So, to have been nominated for the British Franchise Association’s Franchise Support award is the cherry, on the top of an ice-cold sundae, in the summer heat. It’s not our goal to have it, but it’s a nice touch.

That’s because our goal and our focus is and always has been, to support our franchisees throughout the lifecycle of their business. From the moment you make an enquiry, to the moment you’ve sold and exited your business – and even then, we don’t believe in stopping our support if you’re navigating new areas!

The Franchise Support award assessed entries on the evidence of franchisee results, in a demonstration of how our support ensures a great growth trajectory for all franchisees. Something we truly focus on, throughout all aspects of our franchisees’ lifecycle. The Support team, here at FASTSIGNS UK are passionate, committed and work hard daily, performing their roles to the best of their ability, to provide all types of support our franchisees need. This creates an environment of success that people want to be part of.

So, to have been selected as finalists for this award, is a real testament to the value we place on our franchise network and the growth of their businesses. As John Davies, FASTSIGNS UK’s Managing Director says, “At FASTSIGNS we have four key strategic objectives to ensure our franchisees succeed. Every action, decision, or development made by the UK-based support team is framed by these objectives and tailored to each franchisee, no matter where they are in their ownership lifecycle. To be shortlisted for this Franchise Support award, is a testament to our commitment to our network and how we prioritise the achievement of our objectives, to benefit everyone within the FASTSIGNS UK operation”

CEO of the BFA and one of the Award judges, Pip Wilkins, commented: “This year’s entries demonstrated well-thought-out strategies, forward-thinking innovation and growth for franchise brands. My enormous congratulations to all finalists. We hope this award will give you the recognition you deserve as the best in British franchising.” 

We’re excited to have been successfully selected for this award and will continue to support our franchisees to enjoy the growth of their business, whilst keeping everything crossed for the awards event on November 6^th! It’s in our DNA!
