Description
Agency Express was established in 1998 to provide a daily ‘For Sale’ board service to the 18,000 estate agency companies in the UK. A market which is worth an estimated 20 million a year.

Today, the company is the UK’s only national ‘For Sale’ board company with a network of over 90 franchisees providing service to over 20% of all UK estate agency offices. The company also has franchisees operations in Ireland and further overseas expansion is planned. Agency Express currently conducts an average of over 4,300 ‘For Sale’ board movements a day.

At any one time there are approximately 1.5 million ‘For Sale’ and ‘To Let’ boards displayed on the streets of the UK & Ireland, each one of these will have to be erected, serviced, changed to display ‘Sold’ when a sale is agreed and finally, be removed. In short a multi million pound service industry, the results of which can be seen on virtually every street.

Whilst nationally, in excess of one in every five boards will have already been erected by an Agency Express operator, others are still erected odd job men or by local sign companies that offer very limited geographical coverage and generally offer a poor standard of image and service.

Agency Express was founded specifically as a franchise business to fill this all important gap in the marketplace – a marketplace which continues to grow year by year but is not affected in any way by the ups and downs of the property market itself.

The service is much in demand by both corporate and independent agencies, who are attracted by the smart image, quality service levels and the company’s unique centralised accounting system, whereby the larger agencies can receive a single invoice for all nationwide board work – thus reducing their overheads and simplifying their admin.
