Partnership shows fast growth for franchise

It is an unusual set up but one which could lead to a long-term working relationship between two firms. FASTSIGNS have opened a new franchise in Banbury in conjunction with photography, design, and marketing group Ward-Hendry.

Mike Ward-Hendry, founder of the group, comments: “We’re extremely excited to be offering businesses in Banbury, Oxford and the surrounding areas a wide range of printing services.

“To support the launch of this new branch we needed impartial and technical advice to enable us to make the most informed choices about the equipment we required. We approached Josero and were very impressed with their knowledge and expertise, and in particular their understanding of our business requirements as we expand into new markets.

“They were keen to establish our short and long-term objectives and only then did they recommend the equipment they believed to be the best fit to achieve these.”

The new franchise has splashed the cash with Josero taking on a Bubble Free Pro Applicator, Graphtec cutter, Trimalco Apollo vertical cutter, and Kala Mistral Laminator.

Loic Delor, managing director of Josero comments: “We’re thrilled to be working with FASTSIGNS® Oxford North. This new venture for the Ward-Hendry group is fantastic and we’re keen to ensure the starting kit provides a good return on their investment. We believe that this is the beginning of a long term partnership between our companies.”
