There’s nothing like stepping away from the day-to-day to connect with like-minded people and reignite your thinking.

This year’s Australasian Expo in Melbourne was an incredible opportunity for our Speedy Signs and EmbroidMe franchisees to engage with industry leaders, explore global trends, and bring home fresh ideas to take their businesses to the next level.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended, contributed, and helped make the event such a success — your energy and involvement made all the difference!

Today, the Speedy Signs network is uniting for the 1000 Call Challenge!

Every call made today not only helps strengthen business connections, but also raises funds for Ronald McDonald House – supporting Kiwi families when they need it most.

One team. One day. 1000 calls for good.

What if one phone call could help a family in need?
Today, it can.

As part of the Speedy Signs 1000 Call Challenge, we’re proud to be raising money for Ronald McDonald House — a place that gives families comfort, care and a home away from home when their child is in hospital.

For us, today isn’t just about picking up the phone. It’s about lifting up the people in our community who need it most. Every call made today helps keep families close during some of the toughest times of their lives.

We all know how much it means to feel supported when things get hard. That’s exactly what Ronald McDonald House provides every single day — and why we’re so proud to get behind them.

📞 A thousand calls might sound like a big challenge, but together it’s a chance to show just how strong the Speedy Signs community can be when we rally behind a great cause.

So if you hear from us today, know that it’s more than just a call — it’s a call that helps make a difference. ❤️

Our Speedy Signs Hutt Valley team recently had the honour of supporting the incredible work for Stand Tū Māia, a charity that provides social services for vulnerable tamariki and whānau across Aotearoa.

In collaboration with Speedy Signs Manukau, the project included a custom 10mm brass plaque, along with a series of signage elements that brought identity to this new space.

It's a great example of what our network does best - collaboration, craftsmanship, and community impact.

We were honoured to host A.J. Titus, President of United Franchise Group, during his recent visit to New Zealand.

A.J. brought with him not only valuable insights but also an infectious energy and a genuine sense of pride in the incredible achievements of our Kiwi franchisees across the country.

"It was amazing spending time with the BFG team in Auckland. Visiting with franchisees and seeing the success first-hand was excellent. Per capita, New Zealand is a leader in the UFG family, and I'm excited to celebrate and see everyone again at the conference in September."

It was a proud and inspiring moment to reflect on how far we've come since launching in 1998—and how strongly connected we are as part of a truly global franchise network.

🌏 Happy World Franchise Day! 🎉

Today, we celebrate the incredible network of local business owners behind our two brands – Speedy Signs and EmbroidMe.

From opening our first location in 1998 to supporting over 40 locally owned businesses across New Zealand today, we’ve seen the power of franchising first-hand: local knowledge, shared ideas, and the strength of a national network.

Franchising contributes over 10% of New Zealand’s GDP – and we’re proud to be part of an industry that drives innovation, creates jobs, and helps Kiwis succeed in business.

To our amazing franchisees – thank you. Your hard work, dedication, and community spirit are the heart of everything we do.

Here’s to the journey so far – and the exciting chapter still to come.

Please join us in welcoming Jarrad and Shaun as they take over the reins at Speedy Signs Hutt Valley. With their enthusiasm and fresh perspective, we’re excited to see the bright future ahead for the Hutt Valley team!

Dom’s leadership has made a lasting impact, and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors.

We have an exciting announcement from our team today!

Dom and Kathy have decided the time has come to hand over the reins of Speedy Signs Hutt Valley to Shaun and Jarrad.

Dom and Kathy have committed 15 years to the successful running of Speedy Signs Hutt Valley building strong customer relationships, and fostering a positive, team-driven environment.

Despite this handover, it is business as usual here and Dom is still an integral part of our team. He will continue working in our sales department, maintaining strong relationships with his loyal customer base. This transition also gives Dom the chance to spend more time with his family. He and Kathy have recently welcomed their first granddaughter, and they’re looking forward to spending more time with her, their nieces, and the children.

Many of you will recognise Shaun and Jarrad already, as they have been working as lead members of the team here for many years. They are extremely committed to continuing the success of the business, with a focus on driving growth, quality service, and ensuring we remain a trusted name in the community.

Thank you everyone for your continued support!
