A FASTSIGNS franchise located in Chelmsford is celebrating 20 years in business this month.

To mark the occasion, Fastsigns Chelmsford, located on Victoria Road in the town centre, has released some impressive performance figures. The company has established itself as one of the top five performing graphics and visual communications centres out of the 20+ strong UK network since it opened, and has also expanded its staff to a team of 11 with two new appointments in 2016.

“We’ve been shaping the signage industry in the whole of Essex and East London for 20 years, supplying a range of sectors including education, manufacturing, government, construction and retail. It’s fantastic to bring Fastsigns Chelmsford so positively into its 20th year”, commented Roselyn Itopa, owner of Fastsigns Chelmsford.

“Being part of the local community is very important to us here. As part of our celebration we’ve also been fundraising for Farleigh Hospice, a local charity that helps people affected by life limiting illnesses.

“We want to thank everyone in the Chelmsford area and of course our fantastic staff who have enabled us to reach this milestone in our centre’s history.”

Commenting on the anniversary, Fastsigns UK managing director John Davies said: “We’re all delighted for Fastsigns Chelmsford. It’s a huge achievement for the entire team there and they have a lot of activities planned to celebrate as well as fundraising for a worthy cause.

“The centre has seen a lot of changes over the last few decades and we can’t wait to see what the next 20 years will bring!”

Fastsigns Chelmsford has also recently invested in new technology such as a flatbed printer to create more signage and displays in-house.

The centre will be hosting an open day in December for people to join in the special occasion and is also holding several lunches for its clients.
