The team taking the helm has invested in high quality equipment to enable them to deliver an exceptional service to their customers.
The team that will be managing the new franchise is part of school photography, creative design and marketing group Ward-Hendry Ltd. Jon Tremlett, who has been with Ward-Hendry for 7 years, has been appointed as the Centre Manager.
Over the past few months the team has purchased a range of finishing kit from print equipment specialist Josero, including:
- Josero’s flagship Bubble Free Pro Applicator for mounting and laminating a wide range of materials in super fast time whilst eliminating the danger of bubbles or creases.
- A Graphtec cutter, a stand-alone cutting plotter for kiss-cutting lettering, contour cutting stickers and cut-through for sign applications.
- A Trimalco Apollo vertical cutter, a revolutionary multi substrate vertical cutter offering a high degree of performance and accuracy.
- A Kala Mistral Laminator, a heat assisted, top roll laminator offering single-sided lamination and simultaneous lamination.
Mike Ward-Hendry, Franchise Partner, commented, “We’re extremely excited to be offering businesses in Banbury, Oxford and the surrounding areas a wide range of printing services. To support the launch of this new branch we needed impartial and technical advice to enable us to make the most informed choices about the equipment we required. We approached Josero and were very impressed with their knowledge and expertise, and in particular their understanding of our business requirements as we expand into new markets. They were keen to establish our short and long-term objectives and only then did they recommend the equipment they believed to be the best fit to achieve these.”
The team from Fastsigns Oxford North witnessed the equipment in action at Josero’s head office in Cambridge, where they were given the opportunity to trial the kit and ask numerous technical questions.
Fastsigns Oxford North will be offering a variety of printing services such as exterior and interior signs, window graphics, exhibition displays, PVC banners and health & safety signs. Their target audience is small and medium businesses and specific markets they will initially be concentrating on are manufacturing, construction, retail and the hospitality sectors. Their strength lies in a knowledgeable, committed and experienced team who know how to provide a high level of service and products.
Loic Delor, Managing Director of Josero commented, “We’re thrilled to be working with Fastsigns Oxford North. This new venture for the Ward-Hendry group is fantastic and we’re keen to ensure the starting kit provides a good return on their investment. We believe that this is the beginning of a long term partnership between our companies.”
