FASTSIGNS® of Worcester, MA, a locally owned and operated sign and graphics company, was recently acquired by the King brothers, Charles T.O. King IV and Charles D.B. King II.
Charles T.O. King IV is a dedicated professional with nearly 30 years of experience with wireless leader, Verizon, in Customer Service, Sales & Marketing, and Finance where he leveraged data to inform business leaders to maximize business performance in a highly-competitive, data-driven and solutions-based environment.
Charles D.B. King II’s background is in marketing, e-commerce, sales and business management. He wields an International M.B.A. from SNHU and has demonstrated success in growing sales and brand visibility across multiple channels across numerous industry segments throughout his professional career. CDB is looking forward to utilizing that expertise to assist businesses and organizations in the greater Worcester market with their visibility, branding, and sales strategies.
The team at FASTSIGNS® of Worcester, MA also includes Shelby Gamache and Brian Wiles.
Shelby Gamache, Project Manager, brings five years of experience to her role in addition to training in Graphic Arts. Her project management skills will be a vital component to the center’s success as she helps customers navigate the complexities of their sign, graphics and marketing projects.
Brian Wiles, Design and Production Manager, is a veteran to the industry who has worked in signs, graphics and printing post-graduation from UMass Lowell in 2008 in Graphic Design. With over a decade of experience, his talent has created many of the sign projects seen around Worcester.
The King brothers’ decision to acquire the business was favorably impacted by the promising greater Worcester market’s emerging reputation as an innovation hub. Central Massachusetts is undergoing unprecedented economic development. The region's sustained growth over the past several years has been spurred by the continuing partnership of the public and private sectors. Worcester is proving to be increasingly attractive to businesses and organizations across multiple industries, including healthcare, construction, hospitality, retail, education, events and more.
“After finding success in sales, marketing and business operations, we know that it takes a proven business model to engender success,” said Charles T.O. King IV. “We, therefore, gravitated toward a business that had a system in place we could implement and build upon.”
The King brothers, who immigrated to the United States during the country’s years of civil unrest, are looking forward to becoming actively involved in their business community as members of the Worcester Chamber of Commerce and the Webster Square Business Association. They will also be continuing the center’s philanthropic efforts by supporting the annual UMASS Cancer Walk, which was recognized in the Show Us How you Care initiative by FASTSIGNS International, Inc. in 2018.
FASTSIGNS® of Worcester, MA is located at 120 Stafford Street, located at the edge of the Webster Square area, and is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
