Complete Signs

If you run a franchise network or are opening a franchised unit, Complete Signs makes and fits the signs your brand manual calls for, and says it installs anywhere in the UK. Its franchise page describes acting as the single sign supplier to a franchisor’s network, with a unit price agreed with the franchisor so each franchisee knows their sign cost before opening. You can compare other firms under signage and vehicle livery and the wider franchise marketing section.

What franchisors and franchisees get

The company describes three kinds of franchise job. When a franchisor appoints it as national supplier, every new franchisee receives the corporate identity sign pack, a fixed unit cost and a delivery timeline for their opening. For a single franchisee, it gives the example of a ten-week run-up to opening, with the sign pack and local planning consent included. For a network refresh, it cites a franchisor that requires a new look every seven years, rolled out to all franchisees at fixed unit costs.

Drawings go to the franchisor for brand approval, and its planning team makes the local advertisement consent applications that illuminated external signs need. The company says it holds approved supplier status with several franchise brands (not named) and offers to introduce itself to your franchisor’s operations team. It lists food and drink, retail, service, automotive and residential services franchises as the sectors it works in. Our guide covers how franchisors keep standards consistent across a network.

Installation, upkeep and track record

Its own fitters install each sign at a time arranged with you, and a maintenance team handles later repairs and updates. The gallery holds 310 photographs of signs it has designed, made and installed, including a pharmacy and a hospice charity shop. A retail client quoted on its home page from a Google review says the company has rebranded more than 30 of its shops over 25 years.

The website says the business has made signs since 1982 and lists offices in central London, Docklands, Croydon, Crowthorne, Bournemouth, Brighton, Crawley, Milton Keynes, Epsom, Horley and Worcester Park, and it travels across the United Kingdom for projects.
