Signs Express Reading Supports an Epic Journey for Charity

Signs Express Reading has been supporting local fundraiser Chris Cottam, who's taking on the unenviable feat of walking from John O Groats to Land's End, with 3 peaks thrown in! Chris will not only be doing the mammoth trek from the farthest post south to the farthest point north, he will also be climbing; Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis. The three highest peaks in England, Wales and Scotland, making this an incredibly challenging prospect.

Chris is on a mission to raise as much money and awareness for his three chosen charities, all of whom are very close to his heart. Breast Cancer UK and Cure Leukaemia, because Chris has had personal experience with both these charities and is a huge supporter of the work they do. He is also raising funds for Holt School Trust, of which he is a governor – he is passionate about education and making sure that organisations (like the research charities he has nominated) have the next generations brightest sparks to continue with the amazing work they do in years to come. In order to promote Chris's JOGLE (the official term for a walk from John O Groats to Land's End) Signs Express Reading sponsored the graphics for his Land Rover which will be accompanying him on the walk as his support vehicle. The graphics will help raise awareness for the three charities and the walk – ultimately helping to increase the opportunity of sponsorship. Ian Richards, Centre Manager for Signs Express Reading, commented: 'We've been delighted to be able to support Chris by supplying and applying the graphics to his support vehicle – which we hope he won't need! What he's doing will be an incredible achievement, the walk itself is over 1,000 miles, add to that the challenge of the three peaks as well, and it's certainly not a feat for the fainthearted! As a fellow hiker, I have to admit I am a little jealous. The sense of achievement, along with all the views and scenery Chris will get to see will be incredible – not to mention the amount of money and awareness he will be raising for his chosen charities.' Signs Express Reading is part of the UK and Irelands leading signs and graphics company, able to help you with all your signage requirements.

Signs Express were very helpful, understood my requirements and provided a quotation very quickly. When asked to deliver in 1 week rather than the quoted 2-3 weeks they delivered and installed within the 1 week. Excellent customer service.

Signs Express were quick at providing us a quote, that was very competitive compared to the others we had requested. The team were efficient at communicating, advising and providing quotes for varying possibilities to meet our restricted budget requirement. The installation team were brilliant, the install was well organised and all sorted on our behalf through the landlords. Turn around time was excellent. A great job all round.

We have recently had seven internal meeting room signs installed by Signs Express in Reading and we would like to compliment the team at the team on the level of service they provided. From quotation through to installation they were professional and thorough, with good customer service and they were the only company we approached who gave us a sense of competence and quality assurance. I would strongly recommend Signs Express Reading in the future to anyone with signage requirements.

The end result is fantastic, it has generated in excess of 50% of our leads equating to over 300 enquiries. The service was fantastic, we had a deadline to meet which was very tight but was met thanks to a great customer service. Potential purchasers were few and far between, but this new idea gained us many leads which to date has left us with only 9 to reserve out of 48 apartments.

The specification for the sign was particularly challenging as I wanted the sign not only to curve around the end of our building, but to curve around a fully glass fronted section of our building. Many companies did not look at the job let alone quote for the work, but Signs Express took on the challenge and met my needs with a tight specification. Though we were met with issues regarding the construction of the suspension poles, Signs Express were thorough to ensure what was eventually fitted was sustainable and with no future problems and implications to our business. I would like to thank the team for working so hard to ensure my needs were met.
