Adam Davison and David Kerr Signs Express
Signs Express is delighted to introduce two new members of staff to their team at head offi ce. They have joined the management team to strengthen the company’s central franchisee support system. Adam Davison is taking up the role of northern regional manager and David Kerr is fi lling the role of national sales manager. As regional manager, Adam will support the
northern territories by focusing on the everyday running of each individual business and driving efforts to secure new opportunities. Joining the Signs Express team from another franchise, Cartridge World, where he worked for more than six years before becoming their system development manager, Adam is experienced in helping businesses to reach their full potential. He is also well versed in the challenges faced by franchisees and is a British Franchise Association QFP. National sales manager David has dedicated his career to the sign-making industry and he collaborated with a Signs Express centre during his previous role. Switching from his position at Baillie Signs in Edinburgh, where he was responsible for the complete management of signage rollout programmes, David’s remit at Signs Express is to support the network by helping to grow both national and regional sales. Craig Brown, managing director of the Signs
Express franchise, elaborated on the strategies behind these developments: “We are always looking for ways to meet the shifting needs of our franchisees as well as the demands of our marketplace. As a result, these new additions to our team mean that we are better positioned to aid our franchisees in the day-to-day running of their businesses.”
