Signs Express (Nottingham): Business Transformation Journey

With a big focus on his team and staff retention, Paul encourages and supports the personal development of his team and looks to promote from within, firmly believing that your team need to be trained, empowered and valued to be on the journey with you to succeed.

Alongside supporting his own team, Paul also assists his fellow franchisees through sharing of best practice and in recent months, has also helped potential franchisees with visits to his centre, allowing them to get a feel for ‘a day in the life of Signs Express’ and has spent valuable time talking them through the process, the ups and downs and the journey he’s been on.

Lastly, Paul is a big advocate of the Signs Express brand and actively supports and promotes its proposition and brand value. Paul values the support from the Franchise Support Centre and the expertise we can offer, however he also understands that the day-to-day running of his centre is down to him and his team, and along with the tools we can provide, he can drive the business forwards and create a centre to be proud of. 

“We’re thrilled to see Signs Express (Nottingham) recognised for their fantastic contribution to the signage industry and the franchising sector. As an extremely valued team within the Signs Express network, we want to say thank you and a massive congratulations to Paul and his team on a very well-deserved award after what’s been a transformational few years for the business.”
