Manukau franchisees in global Top 10

Sign-A-Rama has over 1,000 locations in 40 countries, making the achievement of Bruce and Lynette all the more impressive. Their Manukau business was ranked in seventh place worldwide, having achieved more than $2 million in earnings in 2014.

Grant Archibald, CEO of Speedy Signs in New Zealand, says, ‘Speedy Signs has a distinguished group of extraordinary franchisees who work closely with their customers to help grow their business. Bruce and Lynette are truly outstanding. They exemplify not just premium sales volumes as a top 10 performer for 2014, but also consummate their expertise in the form of knowledge and time to other franchisees as members of the Franchise Advisory Council.’

With brand recognition and local advertising becoming vitally important to small businesses, the company says local business owners increasingly rely on Speedy Signs and its trained specialists who understand their unique advertising and marketing needs.

‘We offer personal attention to the business needs of our clients and help them to build their brands and grow,’ says Bruce Hopkins. ‘Being included in this accomplished group of achievers was a complete shock to us.'

'We worked diligently during 2014 with our heads down, so it felt like a “heads-up” moment when we heard the announcement. I’m so proud of my team and our valued clients who made it possible.’
