Local Businessmen Launch First ‘One Stop Shop’ Branding Solution Store in BOP

 Speedy Signs/EmbroidMe Rotorua team

Speedy Signs Rotorua franchise owners Richard Haigh and Darren Burborough have opened the region’s first EmbroidMe store, combining the two shops as the only complete branding solution provider in the Bay of Plenty.

Darren says, “With some re-arranging of our existing location at 1198 Arawa Street we have combined both businesses under the same roof. Having both businesses operating from the same shop is a first for the Business Franchise Group.”

Richard and Darren intend to build on the success of the Rotorua Speedy Signs store, which they opened in 2007.

Greg Longstaff from the Business Franchise Group says, “They have already proved their success in building the Speedy Signs business as a start-up venture, and now they can tap into a similar market with their existing clients.”

Richard and Darren were both born and raised in Rotorua, and after travelling the world together returned home to settle in the Bay of Plenty with their families.

As proud locals, they support many charities and sports teams including the local chapters of Diabetes NZ, The New ZealandBreast Cancer Foundation, BOP Rugby, RotoruaStock Car Club and Springfield Golf Club. Richard and Darren firmly believe in supporting the community that supports them.

From the first day of opening EmbroidMe, Richard and Darren discovered a strong demand for high visibility work wear and uniforms for local sports teams. With Rotorua being a popular destination for national conferences they believe they will also have many opportunities to support out of town organisations.

Richard and Darren have invested in setting up top quality multi-head embroidery machines and a separate workstation. With excellent supply deals with all the best corporate wear and promotional product suppliers, EmbroidMe is all set up to deliver affordable prices, fast turn-around times and a friendly, local service.

You can reach Richard and Darren on (07) 349 1000 or 0800 773 330 or for further information contact Greg Longstaff (021) 677 992 or greg@businessfranchise.co.nz

Building a successful franchise

Speedy Signs is a well known name in New Zealand. The franchise system has been here for 12 years and has 23 outlets. It has just arrived here in Tauranga and the next Franchise Association of New Zealand meeting is being hosted by the Tauranga franchisee.

Speedy Signs is a member of the worldwide Sign*A*Rama Franchise Network, which since being created in 1986, now has over 900 outlets in 50 countries.

National Bank business banking manager John McKinley, Harris Tate solicitor David Foster and Speedy Signs franchisee Joanne Newcombe.

It is quite staggering what they are able to make and no doubt this ability, together with the skill to recruit and train the right franchisees, has led in no small way to the growth of Speedy Signs

At the next meeting of the Bay of Plenty branch of the Franchise Association we shall learn from our host, amongst other things, why she chose a Speedy Signs franchise.

We shall also learn from Grant Archibald, the chief executive of Business Franchise Group Ltd how a master franchise operates and the practicalities of running two franchise systems – Speedy Signs and Embroidme.

This is going to be a most informative evening, where you will hear what a prospective business owner finds appealing about a particular opportunity and how a franchisor makes and runs two successful franchises.

For those who wish to immerse themselves in a full two days of franchise experience, enroll for the Franchise Association Conference to be held in Rotorua this year. This is going to be a fantastic conference – they seem to keep on getting better every year and the opportunity to learn about ‘how to do’ franchising property will be unsurpassed – at least until next year’s conference.

Press Release

Speedy Signs makes any type of sign for any business including building signage, vehicle graphics, illuminated signage, banners and flags, neon and LED signs and much, much more – all designed to give customers greater brand recognition.

The company has a good understanding of the importance of having consistency in branding, and helping their customers create a good first impression. Joanne Newcombe opened the Tauranga store in April 2011 and is very pleased with her first month of trading. The latest addition to the Speedy Signs Group is located on the corner of Marsh and Chapel Streets very close to Tauranga’s CBD and also has easy access to the neighboring Mt. Maunganui.

Joanne is very proud to have an award winning designer Dwayne Coles on her team taking care of all the production and design aspects of the business.  The customer response from the business community has been very positive “the clients have  been very supportive” says Joanne. With a background in graphic design herself, Joanne is very familiar to the design and print industry.

Joanne and her husband Andy have previously run a successful business as an independent BP service station and have a great understanding of running good business systems. This is why they finally settled on Speedy Signs for their current business venture. Grant Archibald of the Business Franchise Group (NZ Franchisor) was very helpful when we initially enquired about the business; and we discovered the group has won many different business and sign awards over the 13 years in operation. We finally made up our minds to go ahead after talking with Darren Burborough & Richard Haigh the owners of the Speedy Signs Rotorua. Joanne says, “Richard said to me, follow the system and you won’t have a problem. That’s when I knew this was the right opportunity for me.”

Joanne say’s customer service is her key focus and she looks forward to the exciting challenges of her new business venture!  For further information you can find Joanne and the Speedy Signs Team at 35 Chapel Street Tauranga or Phone 0800 773 339
