One of the real strengths of this partnership is how we’ve been able to use our branch network to deliver signage across the country. It means we can manage everything centrally here in Exeter, but still get jobs completed locally by teams close to each Met Office site. This setup saves time, reduces transport costs, and keeps the carbon footprint down — which fits nicely with the Met Office’s environmental focus. It’s also great for quality control because each branch works to the same standards.

Our first job together was the main entrance sign at the new Exeter HQ. It turned out so well it actually won an award — not a bad way to start! Since then, we’ve done all sorts of work for them: vehicle graphics, directional signs, health and safety signage, internal branding, exhibition pieces — you name it. Each project brings its own set of challenges, but that’s what keeps things interesting.

Another job was updating the meeting rooms along what’s known as “The Street.” The idea was to add privacy and give the space a fresh, branded look. We printed double-sided window graphics using clear-vision film and white primer. This meant people inside could still see out, but the graphics gave enough privacy for meetings. We ran a few print tests first to make sure the finish was spot-on.
