"Having been away from the workplace for some 18 years I was apprehensive about starting my own business. The support I have received from Recognition Express has been exceptional so much so that at the end of my first year I achieved all my financial targets and have made the transition to business owner. The business is going extremely well and the economic climate has not affected my business at all. In fact people are very aware of the need to promote the business and keep their name out there". Jan Chidley Recognition Express Hull & East Riding

"The on-going support from the franchisor is very comprehensive. Good initiatives and brochures are widely available to help you promote the business. New ideas and promotions are always changing to keep pace with the market place. It's this approach of constantly reassessing the market place which helps us maintain our position." Kevin Andrews Recognition Express Taunton

"I rate the support from the franchisor as very good - particularly in the areas of marketing and business planning; additionally sourcing is excellent - we have a good range of suppliers that can supply almost all items we get asked for". Alex Newman Recognition Express Coventry

"I started in April 2009 and am looking for as much growth as possible! Established some good key accounts in the first year and looking to keep the momentum going. At the end of year 3, I am aiming for a turnover of £200,000 to £250,000." Ian Marshall Recognition Express Wolverhampton & Telford
