The Leeds franchise of graphic design and sign specialists,
Fastsigns, has been owned for the last 16 years by father and son, Chris
and Andy Simpson.
Chris Simpson says: “Our sales have increased in a tough economic
climate and we’ve achieved this through sheer hard work and by
continuing to invest in the business despite the downturn.”

At its recent annual conference, Fastsigns held an award ceremony in
recognition of the success of its franchise partners. The Leeds branch
was the only centre in the country to pick up awards in three separate
categories, taking away the Sales Achievement Award and Franchise
Partners of the Year Award. Senior account manager, Rebecca Holliday,
was awarded National Employee of the Year.
Simpson adds: “We have a team of long-serving, committed staff and
recruited two more people in 2012 who are really beginning to come on
now.
“One of the most important aspects of working in a competitive
business is making your business stand out from the crowd. Not only do
we take a lot of time to research new and upcoming trends, we’ve also
invested almost £200,000 on new equipment to keep us at the forefront of
technology.”
