Exterior Signage
We partner with main contractors, designers and architects to design, manufacture and install outstanding exterior signage.
Help your Brand stand out with Exterior Signage
Signage is used to improve the visibility and presence of your brand.
Can exterior signage withstand changeable weather conditions?
We specify exterior signage from materials specifically chosen for their durability against rain, wind, sunlight, and extreme temperatures.
We want to ensure your message remains visible, secure, and in good condition for as long as possible, regardless of the weather.
How customisable are exterior signs?
Exterior signs have a vast range of customisable options and are made completely bespoke.
From size to shape, material and colour, we work closely with you to ensure your signage perfectly aligns with your brand’s identity and the architectural aesthetics of the surrounding area.
Do exterior signs require maintenance?
We aim to produce exterior signage that requires minimal maintenance and purposely design them for longevity and durability.
Semi-regular cleaning by professional cleaners is required to keep the sign in excellent condition, although more extensive cleaning may be required in locations with extreme climates.
Is it possible to update the content on an exterior sign?
This depends on the type of signage you choose. Certain sign types, such as digital displays, graphic signs, or changeable letter signs, do allow for easy content updates to keep your exterior signage fresh and relevant.

Exterior Signage that creates instant impact.
Reinforce your branding to customers, employees and visitors with exterior signage design that showcases your working environment.
Exterior signs are often the first thing a visitor or potential customer sees. They should promote a positive initial reaction, and should re-enforce the company branding and core values. Outdoor signage must be weather-resistant and able to stand the stresses of the elements.
We manufacture exterior signs from a range of materials to meet the clients needs. Our design team works with architects, specifiers and brand managers to help realise the vision.
First impressions last. Exterior signs are the first thing visitors look at and they express your brand and values. Exterior signs can reinforce a message and give visitors and staff a sense of well-being and comfort.
Research shows that external signage has more branding power than having a social media presence. There is something permanent and long-standing about using physical materials to represent company values and ethos.
Exterior Signage provides a long-standing landmark.
External signage that becomes recognisable plays an important role in the community.
Advertising that pays for itself
External signage is a cost effective marketing strategy that has little ongoing costs after the initial investment but continues to pay dividends.
Digital advertising can be blocked or lost amid the vast amount of online content, but a physical sign continuously promotes your business, day after day, out in the real world where it can’t be ignored.
Make your business a landmark
Any bland external sign can increase your business’ visibility, but creative, bespoke architectural signage has the potential to become an iconic landmark.
When an external sign becomes familiar to local inhabitants, it becomes more than just a sign for a business – it becomes a landmark people recognise.
Forge a memorable brand identity
Consistent and attractive signage helps to reinforce brand identity and make it memorable to current and potential customers.
A distinct, masterfully produced sign, not only captures attention but the ongoing visibility nurtures a sense of familiarity and trust, encouraging customer loyalty and repeat business.
Uninterrupted brand ambassador
Exterior signage provides value to your brand 24/7, providing continuous exposure of your business to the public.
When the sign illuminates at night, external signs are capable of reaching a wider audience over time, regardless of the day, time, or opening hours.
Exterior Signage plays a role in promoting Brand Identity.
A key part of a marketing strategy is the use of exterior signage to improve brand recognition.
“Can we have a logo that is illuminated white at night and black during the day?” We like a challenge! Our outdoor signage solutions can include a range of materials and fixing methods.
Stainless steel is a popular choice for exterior signage, due to its resistance to corrosion. We can help to specify numerous options to clients to help meet the brief.
Fitting exterior signage can be a logistical challenge, especially when we need to organise access. Our project team has organised the fitting or large signs over dual carriageways and in busy city centres.
