20 Years and Counting!

Card Connection

Martin Cameron, Card Connection’s franchisee for Tonbridge knows a thing or two about greeting cards.

Having reached the milestone of 20 years with his franchise, he’s handled literally thousands of cards across thousands of different designs.

The business has changed immeasurably, from the early days supplying just small spinners to today’s extensive card range merchandised across multiple fixture types.

With his turnover having doubled during his franchise, he currently services 148 outlets, 52 of which are National Accounts for Card Connection.

Over the years he’s become a very detailed businessman, aware of every inch of the business always looking for efficiencies in time and best practice and mining every inch of profit from his area.  During the process his relationship with his shop owners is exemplary, with some of his current supplied shops stretching back all his 20 years. 

There is no greater testimony to a solid, excellent business than keeping customers for two decades.  And Martin has indeed done just that. Congratulations Martin!
