Signage and visual communications specialist, FASTSIGNS UK, has expanded its reach across the Midlands, with the launch of its new Northampton franchise.
Located on Bunting Road, the new centre is to be spearheaded by Tunde and Laide Sodipo, and marks FASTSIGNS’ twenty fifth UK franchise.
Launched to help meet high customer demand for quality signs and graphics solutions in the area, the centre will provide a range of products and services, including digital signage solutions and comprehensive graphic designs - created by innovative and cutting-edge in-house technologies.
The new centre brings a raft of new job opportunities to the city, including the upcoming appointment of a sales executive and designer, with plans for further recruitments over the coming year.
Between them, Tunde and Laide bring a wealth of experience to the new franchise, having both had successful corporate careers in the finance and accounting sectors spanning many years, within several multinational businesses. However, the Northampton launch marks a special one for the husband and wife co-owners.
Explaining more, Tunde Sodipo, said:
“The city of Northampton has a thriving business community, with a wealth of opportunities, making it the perfect location for us to launch our new centre. Laide and I have both had successful careers in our own right up until now, but we wanted to build something for ourselves, but not by ourselves. And, this launch will allow us to do just that.
“When we researched available franchise opportunities, FASTSIGNS UK stood out from the crowd as a business that’s scalable, with a network that’s at the forefront of the market sector, and it’s exciting to be a part of that.
“Now open, we’re looking forward to helping businesses across Northamptonshire and beyond with all their signage and visual communication needs.”
John Davies, managing director for FASTSIGNS UK, added:
“We're thrilled to welcome Tunde and Laide Sodipo to the FASTSIGNS UK network. They both bring many years of business expertise to their roles and share in the FASTSIGNS vision, so are really well placed to help us realise our ambitions for the UK network over the coming months. Northampton is a city that boasts a rich and diverse business landscape, and is a location that will help us cement our presence in the Midlands. So, this launch is an exciting step for the whole network.
“The opening of any new centre is always a really special one for us, and the arrival of the Northampton centre is just one of a number of new centres set to open their doors this year. Like many others, the signage industry has gone through an exceptionally challenging period, but what’s remained unwavering, is businesses’ need for visual communications that help them get the right messages to the people that matter.
“We wish Tunde and Laide the very best as they embark on this exciting new journey.”
