The conference also saw Allison take part in the judging process for the Fastsigns Franchisee Awards, using the event to pay tribute to the staff and partners, saying: “We are incredibly proud of the achievements of all our franchise partners and it is good to have the opportunity to recognise all of their efforts.
“We all know it is an incredibly tough trading environment at the moment but our organisation keeps going from strength-to-strength.”
Awards were handed out in seven different categories, and Fastsigns Leeds, owned and run by Chris and Andy Simpson, was the only centre in the country to pick up three separate categories.
