Signarama and Fully Promoted are two brands ramping up their expansion across Australia under the guidance of a newly-appointed dedicated franchise development manager.

The two brands are part of global organisation United Franchise Group, an affiliated family of brands and consultants.

Franchise development manager Susana Hands will be responsible for opening up brand new sites around the country, and she brings personal experience as a franchisor and franchisee to the role.

Susana says “One of my biggest passions and joys is seeing others succeed. I’ll bring a unique perspective to potential franchise entrepreneurs as well, having experience both as a franchisee and as a franchisor.

“Joining United Franchise Group is extremely exciting as  there are not many franchisors out there that can say they been doing this for over 35 years.”

Susana’s previous experience includes the franchise growth manager role at HR Dept; she was also the founder and franchisor of Created by Hands, and a franchisee in a baby products business.

Timothy Smith, managing director of United Franchise Group – Australia, says he is thrilled to have someone of Susana’s calibre and experience on board.

“We are extremely enthused with the high quality franchise candidates enquiring about our brands. Combine this with Susana’s natural ability to communicate with people at all levels, and her genuine interest in helping people pursue their entrepreneurial dreams, we cannot wait for the future of  2022 and beyond,” he says.

United Franchise Group has achieved record sales across its franchisee network during the pandemic.

Signarama is a full-service signage business operating in more than 100 outlets across Australia.

Fully Promoted is a marketing and promotions business, formerly Embroidme, that provides embroidered and print branding solutions for uniforms and apparel, and also has a range of promotional products.
