and success of both our franchisees and our corporate

team' following the ranking

Fastsigns has been named top of the sign and graphics sector list in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 rankings. It is the second consecutive year that the US magazine has ranked the sign-making franchise company top of its category.

"Every day, our franchisees help businesses and organisations visually communicate their products, services and philosophies to their clients and employees through a countless array of graphics, visuals and messaging in multiple formats. Being ranked number one in our category is a significant honour," comments Catherine Monson, Fastsigns chief executive.
