Major expansion for Trade Signs UK

Sign manufacturer, Trade Signs UK, has completed a move to a new factory facility—presenting the firm with 33,200sq ft of floor space.

Boasting 38 staff, the firm has seen a growth in demand for its services during the past three years and was keen to expand in order to cater for this.

Director, Matt Driver, has paid tribute to the firm’s staff and loyal customer base for making the move possible: “All of our staff want the business to be successful, they all have a passion to learn and enthusiasm to work.”

Exceptional quality can be a fine art when it comes to bespoke fabrication and signage systems. We strive for perfection, and are always coming up with new systems and procedures to measure that”

The new factory boasts touch screen technology throughout the site, allowing staff to constantly log on and off jobs to help keep information up-to-date.

The data provided is used for the firm’s bespoke sign tracking system, SignTrack, which allows customers to track their order—from the artwork to the delivery stage.

Alongside the SignTrack technology, Trade Signs has also installed a HD camera system throughout the factory—again allowing staff to view jobs in a quick and easy fashion.

In addition, employees are able to take quality control photos using a company iPhone application, which automatically links to its internal customer order details on the company’s system—enabling staff to see how the goods left the factory.

“Exceptional quality can be a fine art when it comes to bespoke fabrication and signage systems. We strive for perfection, and are always coming up with new systems and procedures to measure that,” concludes operations manager, Haylee Benton.
