Husband and Wife Team Launches FASTSIGNS Gloucester

After 15 years working in the sales and communications sector, David Riddell and his wife Carolyn felt it was time for a career change and have opened their own sign and graphics business, FASTSIGNS^® Gloucester.

David and Carolyn will manage the centre, located on Bristol Road, with design and production manager Ross Godding, and office manager James Hemming. The company specialises in supplying signs and graphics solutions, such as indoor and outdoor banners, vehicle graphics, safety and identification signage and trade show displays.

The couple first considered buying a franchise after attending a trade exhibition. "I was looking for a fast start for my own business and felt that the support a franchise could offer would be a way of achieving this," David says. "I chose FASTSIGNS because it provides expert training and services for its franchisees, and is in a sector that has excellent market potential."

"Gloucester is a city of huge opportunities presented by current and future developments, which can ensure a buoyant outlook for businesses that offer the latest technology and can adapt to market requirements. At FASTSIGNS Gloucester, we offer a fast, reliable and enduring product to the community, which is underwritten by the FASTSIGNS guarantee."

Garth Allison, managing director of FASTSIGNS in the UK, says: "Franchising provides an excellent opportunity for people looking to start a business for themselves with its proven business model and extensive support network. David and Carolyn are talented, enthusiastic and committed to their new business. I've no doubt that they will manage the franchise successfully."
