Signs Express Peterborough invest in youth training and development

We are proud to announce the recruitment of Kai Chilvers, 17, who becomes our new Signage Technician Apprentice.

Kai, who lives in Hampton Hargate, has recently started his 2-year apprenticeship with us, which is supported by Walsall College of Birmingham.

"
We are delighted to have Kai join us. We really believe it’s time for companies to step up and start investing in the proper training of young people, not only for their benefit but for the benefit of our industry too."
Michael Tame, Owner of Signs Express (Peterborough)

The apprenticeship will see Kai be one of only a limited number of people gain the Level 3 Sign Technician qualification. There are few official qualifications within the signage industry, meaning that any support provided by companies is essential.

"
I’m really grateful for this opportunity and to begin developing my skills in a real working environment. There aren’t many people who take on this qualification so I’m proud to be one of only a few leading the way for the industry.”"
Kai Chilvers

We have worked with Signs Express (Peterborough) for approximately 10 years and their support in fulfilling our clients' signage requirements is very important to us. They are very reliable and appreciate that the service they offer to our clients needs to be conducted in line with recognised professional practices and standards to not only protect their reputation but our business's reputation also. We place a lot of trust in the suppliers we use and if they didn't meet our high but realistic expectations of delivering a no-fuss, efficient customer service at all times, we wouldn't use them.

Would definitely recommend to anyone who is thinking of having signs put on their vehicles in the Peterborough area. I had three vans done on three different days, they were quick and efficient, and we're very quick at getting designs done and sent to me for proofing, once I approved the design they were able to fit the vans in on the days I wanted. The vans now look very professional with the designs on them. Overall very good service at a reasonable price!

No delays, mistakes or accidents. They provided us with our signs ( of varying types, sizes, materials and some with elements of extreme technical difficulty) as described, within the price and timescales quoted. The team was amazingly friendly and helpful and the lads who came to fix the signs were quick and efficient ( and also friendly). Can't thank them enough for the job they did for us under time pressure. Absolutely no complaints whatsoever.

I would like to thank you and the team for the excellent full vehicle wrap that you have done on our new car. The impact that it has already had is quite remarkable. You made the process for me very easy, the fact that you coordinated with the design team at my franchise support centre and the vehicle supplier meant that I was able to enjoy my holiday knowing that all was in safe hands.
