HUDDERSFIELD FASTSIGNS® SIGN AND GRAPHICS CENTRE OPENS;IS SIXTEENTH FASTSIGNS® LOCATION IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

HUDDERSFIELD, England, April 21, 2005 -- A new FASTSIGNS® sign and graphic centre in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire has opened and is targeting business customers in and around West Yorkshire.

Trevor Davies and his son, Mark, are the owners of the new centre at 517 Leeds Rd, Unit 7 in the Hoyer Industrial Park, which is part of the FASTSIGNS International, Inc., franchise of sign and graphic centres. The Davies’ centre is the 16th FASTSIGNS® location in the United Kingdom and the third new U.K. centre to open since fall 2004. There are more than 460 FASTSIGNS® centres in six countries.

Trevor Davies brings 25 years of business ownership experience to the centre. He previously owned GB Bakery Supplies of Barnsley, a food industry company. Trevor will handle sales and marketing operations at the FASTSIGNS® centre. His son, who will work in the centre in design production and general management, is a racing driver who recently raced for Renault Sport U.K. Mark Davies raced for the ELF Renault Clio Cup, which sports enthusiasts say is watched every race weekend by the U.K.’s biggest motor sport crowds. The Clio Cup is considered to be a proving ground for drivers aiming to graduate to Touring Car racing.

The father and son recently completed an intensive training course at FASTSIGNS International, Inc.’s headquarters near Dallas, Texas in the United States. “At our new centre, we will provide faster, quality signs to all types of businesses,” said Trevor Davies. The centre has installed new digital printing equipment so that it can produce large-format, full colour signs and graphics.

When Trevor and Mark decided to branch out into franchising, they researched a number of franchising opportunities before selecting FASTSIGNS®. Trevor Davies said they decided to open the FASTSIGNS® centre because “We wanted a service-led business which would utilize the skills of Mark and myself in an exciting, growing industry. We chose Huddersfield because of the outstanding commercial and residential growth in the area.” Trevor and Mark live in Mirfield near the centre.

The new FASTSIGNS® centre will offer local businesses, organizations and events a complete range of sign and graphics solutions, including full colour graphics, exhibitions, vehicle graphics, banners, exterior signs, point-of-sale displays and menu boards. Race Team graphics will be a specialty.

The new Huddersfield centre is the latest in FASTSIGNS International’s aggressive U.K. expansion programme, which is headed by Garth Allison, the company’s director of franchise sales in the United Kingdom. “We have wanted to expand our presence in West Yorkshire for some time,” said Mr. Allison. “Trevor and Marks’ interest in opening a new centre couldn’t have been timelier. Given their business experience and the location of the new centre, Trevor and Mark are certain to do well.”
