Signarama southern Africa franchisor, represented by Kurt Tyack, received the award for the Master Partner of the Year as the top performing Signarama country network in the world (outside of the US and Australian markets) at the World Expo held in Cancun, Mexico from 23-27 October.
‘This award is testament not only to the work put in by everyone at the Signarama support office in South Africa to develop and grow the brand, but also the hard work put in every day by our incredible network of franchisee partners’, explained Tyack.
The World Expo is a meeting place for Signarama franchisor and franchisee partners from around the world; is an opportunity for everyone to learn the best practices across various aspects of the business; to receive motivational messages from top international business experts; to receive updates on the latest global technologies in the signage and branding industry and to recognise the top achievers in the Signarama network.
Pretoria North franchisee Francois Schoeman was admitted to the Signarama Global Million Dollar Circle. Schoeman, the current Signarama Franchisee of the Year in South Africa, was in Cancun to accept the award. The Million Dollar Circle is an exclusive club of Signarama franchise owners who have exceeded sales of R14 million (US $1 million) in a calendar year. In the process of achieving this, Schoeman has achieved several milestones in South Africa. His recent move to a larger 1200sqm manufacturing facility has allowed him to improve service and turnaround times for his clients.
‘Being part of the Signarama brand has really helped me to grow a successful, profitable business’, said Schoeman. ‘I was extremely proud to accept the award on behalf of my team at Signarama Pretoria North. The Cancun trip was a real eye opener, and being able to learn from the franchisor and from other franchisees and share their success has ignited the fuse for our future growth. We have a plan to double sales and profitability within 24 months.’
