Sign-making specialist Signworks, are celebrating this month after the successful installation of their largest ever sign.

To promote the £6 million new Knight’s Bridge Apartments development in Lancaster, property developer Tudor-Whelan Property Holdings approached Signworks to create a 425 square foot full colour display. The sign was directly printed onto PVC board, which provided the most cost-effective way of making such a large statement.  A digital print process was the best way to show off drawings of the property and give a good representation of how the finished apartments will look.

Knight’s Bridge is a situated on the south edge of Lancaster city, overlooking the canal. The development consists of 32 luxury two-bedroom apartments and penthouses. The contemporary-designed accommodation offers balcony views over Lancaster and penthouse living that will suit even the most discerning of buyers.  

Head of the Company Chris Tudor-Whelan knew it was important to create the right impression for this new multi-million pound development. And he thinks the sign looks fantastic. Tudor-Whelan use Signworks for all their signage requirements, as they believe their designs are the best in the business. Signworks will also offer advice on the best materials to use to create the right image, whilst being cost-effective and fit for purpose.

Other projects Signworks have undertaken in just the last few weeks include new internal and external signage for a biochemical company in Carlisle, in conjunction with a corporate re-branding exercise, implementing a new signage and way finding programme at three holiday parks near Southport for Harrison Leisure UK Ltd and the installation of several new hotel and leisure club signs throughout the North West.

Based in Grange-over-Sands, Signworks specialise in custom-built signage for companies wanting to create the right first impression. Managing Director, Simon Orr comments “We help organisations to look good and promote the ‘right’ image for their business. We have an excellent in-house design facility and provide free initial designs to customers. We also specify the best possible materials for the project; using quality materials for signs which need to look good for several years, as opposed to cheaper ones which can quickly deteriorate and look untidy.”

Signworks celebrated ten years in business last year, proving that this approach seems to be working well.  Since their formation, they have grown from a small, local client base to over 100 customers across the UK, including well-known brands such as Scottish & Newcastle. They now have a vast amount of experience in providing signage to a diverse range of industries, from the leisure and hospitality sectors to property and retail.  

Each individual sign or signage programme is designed specifically to suit a customer’s needs and Signworks have been asked to fulfil a multitude of different requirements. To date projects have included corporate signage for a group of private schools, and others range from traditional pub signs for a North West brewery to contemporary LED illuminated signage for a leading Manchester city centre hotel, where Signworks liased with architects and the hotel’s branding and marketing company in the design and specification, and relevant planning authorities to complete a professional installation.
