Newark Health Centre

Newark Health Centre

Signs Direct was approached by the NHS to provide signage at the newly constructed Newark Health Centre. We were able to draw on the experience of past Health Centre projects such as Clifton, Balderton, Stapleford, Hyson Green, and Carlton to provide a comprehensive schedule of signs.  These included: the Main Entrance, Door identity signs, Way-finding directories and suspended signs, Braille and tactile toilet plaques, Fire exit and Safety signs.

The schedule and quotation were accepted and our ability to meet the tight completion deadline ensured that the order was placed.

We were able to design, manufacture and install the signs including some last minute additions within the required time frame, and received positive feedback from our client.

Bentley Bridge

Published December 8, 2010 by Steve Hallam

We have recently completed a contract at Bentley Bridge Shopping Centre in Wolverhampton

The site has had three replacement "Totem" style signs erected. Our brief was to add graphics for each of the retail tenants on the park, including Dorothy Perkins, Boots, Next, Argos and Burtons to name a few.

The challenge of this installation was access, as two of the totems were 7 metres high and in a very busy location, we overcame this using a cherry picker from Platform Hire.

We removed the blank acrylic panels and applied vinyl graphics using a mobile laminator, a challenging procedure to achieve on site, however the operation went very smoothly. I was very pleased with the end results.
