Prontaprint: Take a starring role in the next chapter

When you choose a franchise you want to be part of a success story - and they don't come much bigger than Prontaprint, as they explain here

We've always been a market leader - ever since our founders Edwin Thirlwell and Ken Clement opened their first Prontaprint centre way back in 1971. Now you could play a part in building on that success.

Prontaprint now has a network of 175 franchised centres across the UK and Ireland - many with a turnover in excess of £1 million a year.

From the start our story has been one of constant progress. We helped to found the British Franchise Association and were the first-ever print company to be awarded Business Superbrand status by the Brand Council - the world's leading independent authority on branding.

We've always been ahead of the pack in using the latest technology and these days we focus our sales effort on the lucrative market for business print.

Today, we're a £50 million organisation with many blue-chip clients including Hush Puppies, British Airways and Dixons. And although we're at the top, we're not standing still. Right now, we're preparing for the next chapter of our success story - and you could be a part of it.

Prontaprint has developed a new brand positioning - one which really stands out from our competitors and is designed to have maximum appeal among our business clients. And not only does Prontaprint look different, it feels different too. Our design and print services have been enhanced and we've worked hard to ensure our standards of support for all our franchisees are better than ever before.

As a franchisee in the next generation of Prontaprint, you can trust us to support you every step of the way in all aspects of training, operations, technical assistance, marketing and sales. Most of all, you'll be able to draw on a business model that's been proven time and time again - as well as the support of fellow Prontaprint franchisees who will willingly share their know-how.

We're looking for business professionals with the right mix of entrepreneurial spirit and individual flair to reflect our new face and drive our success story even further.

This is your chance to write your own story armed with a proven commercial formula honed over 35 years in an expanding market. The market for the type of services we provide is set to grow by 12 per cent by the end of 2007 (source: Cap Venture) and today's Prontaprint network offers clients the broadest-ever range of design and print service and expertise.

Prontaprint is a brand with big ambitions. If you think you've got what it takes to start a whole new success story, just get in touch.
