Signage and visual communications specialist Fastsigns UK has expanded its reach across the Midlands in England with the launch of a franchise in Northampton, according to a company press release.

Located on Bunting Road, the center will be spearheaded by married couple Tunde and Laide Sodipo, and marks Fastsigns' 25th U.K. franchise.

Launched to help meet high customer demand for quality signs and graphics solutions in the area, the center will provide a range of products and services, including digital signage solutions and graphic designs created in-house.

"The city of Northampton has a thriving business community, with a wealth of opportunities, making it the perfect location for us to launch our new center," Tunde Sodipo said in the release. "Laide and I have both had successful careers in our own right up until now, but we wanted to build something for ourselves, but not by ourselves. And this launch will allow us to do just that.

"When we researched available franchise opportunities, Fastsigns UK stood out from the crowd as a business that's scalable, with a network that's at the forefront of the market sector, and it's exciting to be a part of that."

The Sodipos have a background in the finance and accounting sectors within several multinational businesses.

"We're thrilled to welcome Tunde and Laide Sodipo to the Fastsigns UK network. They both bring many years of business expertise to their roles and share in the Fastsigns vision, so are really well placed to help us realize our ambitions for the U.K. network over the coming months," John Davies, managing director for Fastsigns UK, said in the release "Northampton is a city that boasts a rich and diverse business landscape, and is a location that will help us cement our presence in the Midlands. So this launch is an exciting step for the whole network."
