Signs Express reaches new heights
27 June 2005
When leading logistics and shipping company A.V. Dawson wanted to replace the signage on its high profile Commercial Headquarters in Riverside Park Road, Middlesbrough, Signs Express (Teesside) were delighted to take on the challenge.
Signs Express has provided a complete service, supplying comprehensive signage for the interior and exterior of the premises including large fascia signage for the outside of the building, an illuminated sign for the entrance gate as well as corporate interior directional and departmental signage, even health and safety signs.
Signs Express centre owner Dave Metcalf explains, “The exterior premises sign was a particularly exciting challenge for us as it was installed at over 200ft high and comprised of 56 individual panel sections, each spanning over 1.5m wide. The overall effect is very striking as the building is such a prominent statue on the riverside.”
The A.V Dawson logo as well as the company’s strapline – road, rail, land, sea were incorporated onto the main exterior signage which has been replaced following company rebranding.
Managing Director Gary Dawson said, "When you consider that this 21mx6m sign would be visible throughout Teesside and in place for many years to come, it was essential that no mistakes were made in the design, the choice of materials, or the fixing. Signs Express Teesside were competitive on price, but most importantly investigated all of these areas in significant detail, giving AV Dawson confidence in their ability to deliver the finished product to our exacting specification".
Signs Express (Teesside) is based on Riverside Park Industrial Estate in Middlesbrough and works to provide all forms of signage from interior and exterior signs to vehicle graphics, exhibition and display products and window graphics.
