The project was then finished off with a pair of 4m wide window graphics. Good luck Pauline and Gary and thanks again for the business, it was very much appreciated.

Well, we finally got there. Embarrasingly we've been so busy over the last few years we neglected to make a great sign of our own but finally we can say that we practice what we preach. I believe we've redeemed ourselves by producing a beautiful 6 metre sign, consisting of red bevelled aluminium pan, decorated with stencil cut illuminated letters, 3 dimensional halo lit stainless steel letters and finished off at each end with stainless steel caps.

Another fine, fine example of a built up, 3D, polished steel lettering sign with halo effect blue lights, measuring approx 1 metre x 2.5 metres.At first glance you could be forgiven for thinking it's neon, it's not, it's a low voltage, NONE MAINTENANCE, extremely bright LED system, that if need be, could be left switched on and would continuously work for upto 9 years, yes 9 years. No more high voltage, no more firemans switches, just a 24v transformer and a plug it's as simple as that. Goodbye neon!!. The letters sit on a black aluminium composite box.
