Nicola Adam, resident and deputy editor, The Lancashire Evening Post, said: 

“There’s an awful lot of investment in the area and because our great transport network a lot of business has migrated to the area, so there is a wealth of opportunity here.”

Lancaster and the surrounding areas are also a wonderful place to raise a family with a number of well-reputed schools that boast an ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted rating such as Lancaster Royal Grammar School and Lancaster Girls Grammar School.

Anne Somers, owner of Signs Express commented, 

“Thomas & I moved to Lancaster 20 years ago having no knowledge of the city or the immediate surrounding area. We settled in a lovely village a few miles north of the city where we have brought up our 3 children with the countryside on the doorstep, plus easy access to great schools and only a 15-minute commute via the Lune Valley to the city centre, shops, cinemas, sports centres, theatres and most importantly Signs Express!” 

Established in 2002, Signs Express (Lancaster) is an established, ready-made business that will enable a buyer to walk in from day one with no prior sign industry experience required. This exciting business opportunity offers a high-return investment with a diverse, loyal client base and long-standing team of highly skilled, reliable staff.

There are also tremendous growth areas still to be explored within the territories which the dedicated UK Franchise Support Centre will help you realise. 

“We have grown by 10-15% in recent years and it shows no sign of declining. If anything, we are growing faster than ever with 34% year to date. We have traditionally done little pro-active marketing, so there is massive potential that is currently untapped,” 

Thomas Somers, franchisee of Signs Express (Lancaster franchise territory) commented. 

If you are interested in living and working in an area that has a diverse customer base, strong community ethos and stunning landscapes, then Lancaster could be the ideal place to call home.
