Colchester - Laurie Jennings
Laurie Jennings has taken over our Colchester franchise.

Having worked in the retail field for nearly twenty years running a busy newsagent, then with a change in her personal circumstances found herself being employed again which she hated. Then moving to a new area to live, Laurie decided that she would again like to have her own business.

Laurie felt the best way forward was to take on a franchise where she would still be her own boss but have the back up of the franchisor as a safety net. After the many years in the newsagent trade she enjoyed the greeting card side of the business so felt this was the area to start looking at. She found that OPC were advertising a suitable area for sale and after making some background checks and meeting everyone at OPC she felt that being a well established and proven company, OPC would be able to give her the backing that she needed to start all over again.

The Original Poster Company welcome both franchisees to the company and believe that they will be able to improve on what are already successful franchisee territories.
