Agency Express

Agency Express is the UK's largest provider of estate agency board services. Our nationwide network of estate agency board operators erect and maintains over 60% of all estate agency boards in the UK. Our background Agency Express was set up in 1998 to offer a nationwide professional board service to both corporate and independent estate agencies. Traditionally, boards had been erected by agencies'​ own staff or by local sign companies offering a limited standard of service. As an ex-estate agent, Stephen Watson, the company's founder and Chairman, saw the need for a reliable nationwide sign service. Our comprehensive network With sustained growth, our company now has over 117 established centres covering the UK from Scotland to Kent and Cornwall, a growing network in Ireland and overseas, and is the recognised leader in the board management field. Our operators benefit from comprehensive training to ensure consistently high standards, and our fleet of smart liveried vans complements the professional image of estate agents. Our dedicated team Based at our international head office near Norwich, we have a large dedicated team covering all aspects of the business, from training to design and accounts. It is our centralised accounts department that enables clients to make one single payment for all their board work nationwide - a significant benefit for corporate and any multi-branch agency.
