High profile Mancunian sign shortlisted for national award

A recent project coordinated by sign and graphics experts, Signs Express (Manchester), has been shortlisted in the Construction category at the British Sign Awards.

Organised by the BSGA (British Sign and Graphics Association), the British Sign Awards are designed to celebrate the outstanding work of sign businesses in the UK with awards presented in 15 categories. Manchester’s extensive Citylabs sign project lent itself well to the Construction award category with Signs Express managing and overseeing several roles, including design, testing, coordinating, manufacturing and installation of the striking signage. The project saw two high level illuminated signs installed on the glass face of Citylab’s 1.0 building in the city centre, plus a ground level monolith sign complete with internal illumination powered by its own integrated solar panel. Those shortlisted for the national awards have been invited to join the BSGA for their annual awards event held, this year, in Leicester on 9th November, where the winners will be unveiled at a gala presentation ceremony. This award shortlisting tops off a year of celebrations for the Manchester-based sign company, with 2017 marking their 20th anniversary of providing premium sign and graphics solutions to the region. If you’re looking for an expert sign maker or vehicle graphics specialist in the Manchester area, then get in touch with Signs Express (Manchester) today by calling 0161 865 0200.

External shop sign and also window transfers: service and installation were first class. The personal, face to face consultation process, prompt correspondence and regular status updates were excellent as was the cost. Would 100% recommend them.

I've always been very impressed with the level of professionalism of the team at Signs Express - they've always been prepared and able to deliver the highest standard of work, sometimes at a moment's notice, and have been prepared to tackle some of the more unusual requirements we have.

Signs Express have provided an excellent service on a number of projects for Portfolio, the majority for local government accounts. We had particularly good feedback from a full colour vehicle wrap for a Children's Service in Bolton. I have been really impressed with the way these projects have been dealt with and the fitters on site dealing with our clients have been courteous and professional which is reassuring when 3rd parties are involved.

Signs Express provided us with a most professional service, we were able to discuss our artistic needs directly and had extremely good personal service throughout. We had visits to discuss where the signs were to go and many phone discussions regarding materials ways of positioning /hanging to attract people's attention. All extremely important factors for an Art Centre and even more so for one where signage needs are perhaps more unique than ever, as we are both a visitor centre and one that provides arts training for the visually impaired. The signs have taken us forward dramatically and enhanced the already award winning architectural grounds and buildings, whilst being extremely sympathetic to such unique surroundings.

Just a quick note to say the signage looks spot on at Springwood. More to the point, the guys on site were quality. The external installation was quite temperamental due to having to drill through the VERY EXPENSIVE tiles we had installed around the portico, so we were concerned in case they got damaged, but your guys had the right tools for the job and done a fantastic job. I think sometimes the guys installing aren't given the credit they deserve, customer service was bang on point also.
