Signs Express announced as finalist in British Franchise Awards 2026

Signs Express has been named as a finalist in the Established Franchisor of the Year category at the BFA HSBC UK British Franchise Awards.

The announcement recognises the strength, stability and continued development of one of the UK and Ireland’s longest-standing signage franchise networks.

With more than 35 years of trading and 61 locations across the UK and Ireland, Signs Express has built a strong reputation, long-term franchisee support and sustainable network growth.

Franchisees remain with the network for an average of 17 years, with some having been part of Signs Express for more than 30 years.

The announcement comes alongside further recognition for the network, with Ian Furlong and Louise Sergent, owners of Signs Express Liverpool & Wirral, also named as finalists in the Community Impact Award category for their positive contribution to the local community.

Jonathan Bean, managing director of Signs Express, said: “Being named as a finalist in the Established Franchisor of the Year category is a proud moment for everyone connected with Signs Express. This recognition reflects the strength, commitment and resilience of our franchise network, as well as the dedication of our Franchise Support Centre team.

“To also see Ian and Louise from Signs Express Liverpool & Wirral recognised in the Community Impact Award category makes this announcement even more special.”
