Charles Wells

Clients >> Case Studies

Early in 2006 we were given a brief from Charles Wells Pub Company to produce a signage guidelines manual. The guidelines were to be used as a re-branding tool for the Charles Wells estate to ensure consistent quality throughout the design, manufacture and installation period. It was necessary for the guidelines to serve not only as a technical guide for sign manufacturers but also as a 'catalogue' for use by Project Managers during liasons with tenants. After several months of preparation, meetings and revisions the guidelines were finally signed off in the summer of 2006. The roll out of schemes commenced autumn 2006 and continue to…

Cadwaladers, Trafford Centre

Clients >> Case Studies

Pre-Christmas 2010 we were invited to provide a practical solution to a design proposal for large awnings. These awnings needed to incorporate signage and lighting and be wind resistant. Working closely with the client, designer, shopfitter and structural engineer we submitted a package of costs, technical drawings and 3D visuals which were approved and the order was placed. To ensure an exact fit into the available apertures production of the awnings could not commence until the new shopfronts were in place. This reduced the programme time. Also, it was essential that the awnings were installed before the Christmas period - the…

Phones4u

Clients >> Case Studies

Commencing late 2009 through to the summer of 2010 we successfully completed a UK-wide programme of supply and installation of internal signs and graphics to almost 200 stores. The stores needed to trade during the day so installation was limited to the evenings and overnight. At the peak of activity three fixing teams were fitting out three stores per night each with the stores re-imaged and ready to trade the next morning. The work involved the use of our in-house screen printing process, large format digital printing, CNC routering and digital graphic services.

Costa Terminal 5

Clients >> Case Studies

In September 2007 we were commissioned by Costa Coffee to manufacture a prestigious sign structure - some might say sculpture - to be installed within Heathrow's Terminal 5 building in time for the opening in January 2008. The first challenge was to bring the Architect's concept sketches to life by preparing detailed construction drawings. A scale model was produced. This not only benefitted our client but also gave us a better understanding of the structure. After discussions between ourselves, the Architect, BAA and the Structural Engineers the project was signed off for manufacture. The six week construction period involved most…

EFC Timeline

Clients >> Case Studies

During the summer of 2010 we were invited to attend a meeting at Everton FC Design department to help configure proposed timeline signage. The timeline was to be a continuous band of panelling, over 1 metre deep, fixed at fascia height to the perimeter of the stadium. The graphics would illustrate the history of the club from 1870 to the present day. The first challenge on this unique project was to position the graphics correctly in relation to the fabric of the building. We had to consider the positions of turnstiles, recesses, protrusions and other anomolies of this venerable stadium.…
