Routed in Barnsley

Lenny and Whale and Barnsley Museums Heritage Trust have been working together to capture and celebrate stories of Barnsley Town Centre in an exciting project called ‘Routed’ funded by the Heritage Lottery. The project has collected stories and memories of the town centre and shared them in a visually rich exhibition at Experience Barnsley, a web site and a number of town centre interventions in the public realm. 

As part of the project Lenny and Whale have created a number of ’portraits’ in the form of vinyl wrapped utility boxes, that celebrate people and place. Signs Express Sheffield were commissioned by Lenny and Whale to print and install  “Hi-Tac” vinyl to each of the boxes.

Signs Express Sheffield also installed range of interior wall graphics for the exhibition at Experience Barnsley that sits within the Town Hall.  Lenny and Whale said ‘always a pleasure to work with Signs Express Sheffield, they understand our artistic process and always deliver exactly what we need’.

I had asked for some different quotes from companies near Rotherham and where I live further south. Some were more expensive and some were cheaper but no one was as quick in coming back to me and non giving me such a great pre-mock-up- drawing plan- on my photos- what they were going to do - and how it was going to look like- as Signs Express. All the signs look like they were supposed to do and I am very happy with them. When one of the signs was a bit bigger than I had thought it would be I just asked them to cut it down a bit- to a small extra cost- which I thought was fair enough. It didn't affect the sign but the metal pol the sign was sitting on- they were cut to a lower height. Sign Express help local business in the area and they are very generous to local charities like Grimm and Co in Rotherham. This was also a factor for me- why I choose them and no one else. I would absolutely use Signs Express again and I can wholeheartedly recommend them.

Signs Express responded quickly for a need for exhibitions signage within a short time-frame. They installed signage across four Sheffield DocFest venues, all of which were high quality, professional and artistic. The whole team were friendly and responsive. We had a range of signage needs and they accommodated all of our requests. I would recommend Signs Express to anyone needing signage in Sheffield area.
