Training

The Signs Express franchise programme covers all aspects of the franchise model to help new franchisees acquire the skills needed to open their production centre doors with confidence.

The four-week residential training course is held at our custom-designed training facility in Norwich, where you will meet the support team and other franchisees. Once your centre is open, additional courses are available for both you and your staff and you will be regularly visited by our business development team.

The programme provides training in accounts, business development, human resources, IT, operations, marketing, technical, and national accounts management; as well as any further assistance in locating premises, centre set-up and fit-out, marketing materials, and staff recruitment.
