COOK, who won Franchise of the Year in 2012, offer ready meals 'using the same ingredients and techniques that a really good cook would use at home'. When Marcus Farthing approached Signs Express (Peterborough) looking for new van graphics, as fellow franchisees, the sign makers felt they could appreciate the on-going challenges of the business and were delighted to be asked to complete the work. The installation took place in Peterborough's dedicated vehicle bay by highly qualified staff, ensuring an excellent long lasting result. Marcus has commented: 'I found the service and quality of the work to be of a very high standard and am very pleased with the results' Signs Express (Peterborough) has been established for over 10 years and has recently invested in machinery to be able to offer engraving as well as braille and tactile. The centre are dealers of the Modulex Optima range and are able to supply and install Pacifc, Ocean, Messenger Infinity and Macer products.
