Recently, the team helped three very different local businesses – Everyday Thai, Occasion Cakes & Catering, and Period Pieces – each looking for signage that would catch the eye and express their unique personality.

Bristol’s retail scene is one of the most diverse in the country. From its colourful streets to its creative communities, it’s a place where brands big and small compete for attention.

“Your shopfront is often the first conversation you have with a customer,” says Ben Walker, Managing Director of Signs Express Bristol. “It tells people who you are before they even step inside.”

Ben and his in-house designer, Josh Elliott, worked closely with each retailer, combining fresh ideas with practical design experience to deliver signage that felt true to each brand.

Every element of these projects was handled in-house — from the initial concept sketches right through to production and installation. This included fascia signs, projecting signs, and window graphics, all tailored to suit the client’s budget and space.

Our Bristol team is known for its hands-on approach. We plan installations carefully to minimise disruption, often working outside normal business hours so that clients can carry on as usual. Each job is carried out with precision, using high-quality materials that look great and last for years. Whether it’s a small independent café or a growing retail brand, Signs Express Bristol brings creative design and expert craftsmanship together to help every client stand out in a competitive marketplace.
