Sales and Marketing Specialist Joins FASTSIGNS® Franchise Business Consultants Team
FASTSIGNS® has appointed Bob Elks as a franchise business consultant, providing sales and marketing support to the organisation’s 23 UK centres, which specialise in signage and graphics products. He will be based at FASTSIGNS® UK head office in Chesterfield.
Bob, who lives in Belper near Derby, comes to FASTSIGNS® from the Pannell Group in Nottingham, where he served as a sales manager. He replaces former FASTSIGNS® franchise business consultant, Andy Simpson, who stepped down from the post to focus on running his family’s FASTSIGNS® centre in Leeds.
FASTSIGNS® franchise business consultants work in an advisory capacity with franchisees to help develop their businesses. Bob has spent his entire working career in sales and marketing and brings considerable expertise to the FASTSIGNS® team.
Commented Garth Allison, FASTSIGNS® UK managing director, “We’re delighted to welcome Bob to FASTSIGNS®. One of the major selling points of our franchise is the quality of ongoing business support and advice centres receive, and Bob’s experience in sales and marketing will further strengthen this service.”
Added Bob, “My new role is completely different to anything I have done before. I had reached the stage in my career where I wanted a new challenge, and FASTSIGNS® presented the opportunity to help others develop their businesses. I look forward to working with franchisees to expand their businesses by providing the back up knowledge and support necessary to win larger contracts.”
