Market leaders join forces to display far more….

Bury based notice board manufacturer Signconex Ltd has merged with Signscape Systems Ltd. as  part of an exciting new venture for the sign and visual communications market.

Following discussions earlier in the year, it soon became clear that both companies shared many similarities when it came to our approach to manufacturing and business. Both of us come from long established backgrounds in the sign and visual communications industry.

We’re all really excited about this opportunity, as we feel it will be better able to serve both sets of  our customers. The other plan is to launch some new products, whilst also continually improving our existing ones.

If anyone wants to know more, please contact me, or alternatively have a look at the Signconex website.

Sign & Digital UK is now over and it already seems like a life time ago. We all really enjoyed the show and it was great to see so many faces. Becci, Sue and I managed the stand all week. Thanks for everyone that popped onto the stand to say hello – hope you liked the Jelly Babies! (they certainly disappeared fast).

Delighted so many people liked the Solar Products and the new Digital Signs (in conjunction with Symon Dacon – it would certainly appear that lots of projects want more than static signs.

If anyone would like demonstrations, or for me to pop in to explain, just let me know. In the meantime, look out for our latest newsletter.

The project was for a private school in the Midlands, with a need to empathise with some of the very old buildings and new contemporary ones.  It was a great project to work on, despite the very exacting standards from the customer. The work required Main signs which were Infocurve, smaller signs that would be seen on foot, using Infocurve Lite, together with folded trays – all manufactured and powder coated at our premises in Bristol.

We’re hoping to go – its such a busy time of year for lots of people, being the end of the Financial Year for so many, but it is always worth the effort.  Signscape haven’t exhibited for a couple of years and am really looking forward to being up there this year. Jeremy and I are working on the content for the stand, but if anyone wants to anything specific from our Product Range let me know.  Once we have the stand drawn up I may post the stand design on the site to get some feedback.

It will be great to see lots of our friends and customers, especially as I don’t appear to be getting out of the office as much recently. I also hope their is plenty for everyone to see – I always come away with a few more ideas – mainly from our customers.  We will be definitely showing our new Solar Powered range, together with some of our traditional products, together with a few surprises – so looking forward to seeing you in April at the NEC.

Mike wishes you all a Happy New Year and looks forward to helping you this year (so give him a ring and say hello).

This year seems to have flown by – or is that what happens when you start getting older? We have lots of new things planned for next year and am looking forward to sharing these with everyone. Donna will be off on maternity leave at the end of February/beginning of March. We are also delighted to let you know Mike Sergeant will be rejoining us again in January.

We will be closing on Thursday 23rd December 2010 and re-open on Tuesday 4th January 2011.

I hope you all have a good holiday and are refreshed and invigorated for 2011, from all the team at Signscape Systems, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I thought I would share this with everyone – I’m sitting in the bow (top of your picture – with the brown woolly hat). This picture shows us at the Fours Head in London a few weeks ago. We also just raced in one of our local races at Avon and broke the course record – chuffed to bits. The race is about 7k and we completed it in a time of 25:58.56.

When we started the race it was -7 degrees, but warmed up to a balmy -3 by the end!

Back to training for races in February, will keep you posted – anybody else crazy enough to be on the water first thing in the mornings, or in the evenings then let me know

Thanks to all those that attended (& who nicked all the chocolate brownies??)

This was a short video Becci recently recorded, which shows our Signscape

factory in Langford. I think from now on I will let Becci do these, as she is clearly

so much better at filming than I am.  I know it’s not the same as coming to visit

us in the flesh, but at least it gives you an idea of all our manufacturing facilities.

It shows our Powder Coating line, as well as some of our products in manufacture

Post & Panel, Noticeboards, Fingerposts as well as our in-house fabricating.

Alternatively you can always pop down and say hello!
