Client Overview
Longstanding client relationships are something we really value at Signs Express Manchester, and Carswells Fire Engineering is no exception. Having worked with them previously on vehicle graphics, they returned to us with an exciting new challenge - one that would lay the groundwork for a bold new chapter in their fleet branding.

Objectives
The project brief came through clearly in the client’s very first email: “I’m looking for something really striking and modern. This design is to be the basis for all our future vans, so I want to get this first one perfect.”
From that moment, we knew the visual impact of this vehicle would be doing a lot of heavy lifting - not just in advertising, but in brand storytelling. It needed to reflect ambition, quality and confidence, and become a visual signature on the road.

The Brief
Thankfully, the client was clear and collaborative right from the start. He provided everything we needed to hit the ground running, brand guidelines, colour palettes, logos, and a helpful explanation of the look he had in mind. That level of clarity made the design process efficient, enjoyable and creatively fulfilling.

Our Solution
With a strong brief and a supportive client, we were able to get creative. We developed a concept that balanced bold graphics with a clean, professional finish. One of the most exciting design choices? Using two different brand colours on either side of the van - a distinctive twist that brings real visual energy and ensures the vehicle stands out from every angle.
The client loved the first design we presented. After a couple of quick tweaks, we were ready to move forward to production.

Our Role
This was a fully managed project from start to finish. We handled:
- Consultation and creative design
- Quoting and client communication
- Production of modular printed vehicle graphics
- On-site installation by our experienced team
Seeing a concept through from first idea to final installation is always satisfying, and this one was especially smooth, thanks to great collaboration at every step.

Challenges and Solutions
We’ll be honest, this one was refreshingly straightforward. The client’s vision was clear, communication was strong, and there were no unexpected hurdles along the way. Every part of the process flowed well, and it was a genuine pleasure to work on.
