Testimonial from Séverine and Emma

The story of Séverine and Emma

A family duo reinvents itself with PANO Toul

A tandem ready to take on a new challenge

At the age of 42, Séverine, a former dietician and then childcare assistant, and Emma, 23, a recent graduate with a Master’s degree in finance after two years’ work experience in a bank, decided to turn a new page in their professional lives. Complementary and complementary, they shared the same desire: to work together in a dynamic and buoyant sector. Their choice was visual communications, a world where creativity, technical skills and customer contact come together.

A carefully considered career change

After spending over twenty years in the medical sector for Séverine, and starting her career in finance for Emma, they both wanted to move towards a more varied and manual activity. Signage was an obvious choice: a complete profession combining graphic design, manufacturing, installation, project management and customer relations. Their complementary skills are a real asset: Emma’s rigor and sense of analysis and management combine with Séverine’s human experience, energy and taste for challenge.

A decisive meeting with PANO at Franchise Expo Paris

It was during their visit to the Franchise Expo Paris that they discovered the PANO teams and their concept. Contact was immediate. They found a network that matched their expectations: professional, structured, welcoming and available. This meeting confirmed their desire to be supported in their conversion and gave them the confidence they needed to get started. They particularly appreciate the comprehensive training offered by PANO, the ongoing support, the mutual assistance between dealers and the possibility of undertaking their own business while retaining their independence and benefiting from the network’s 40 years of know-how.

A human and entrepreneurial adventure led by a united duo

After several months of preparation, PANO Toul opened its doors on November 23, becoming the eleventh branch to open in 2022. Thanks to the network’s support, Séverine and Emma were able to benefit from comprehensive assistance to launch their business: administrative help, training, technical support and installation of essential tools. Today, they put their complementary skills, dynamism and desire to learn to work for local companies, craftsmen, retailers and local authorities. Their agency has established itself as a trusted local player, able to support every customer in the creation, manufacture and installation of visual communication media, in a spirit of proximity and professionalism.
