Along with everyone else. The team at FD Signs was taken completely by surprise when Covid arrived in early 2020.
Floor Stickers and Safety Signs
We were also surprised by the strange requests that started to come our way. Never had we been asked to make floor stickers asking people to keep a distance, likewise, signs to control the flow of staff around buildings and banners praising the NHS! It is always great to get new sign orders from new customers, however it would have been a lot better if the circumstances were a bit happier.
Shop Signs and Graphics
While a lot of businesses were experiencing difficult trading patterns, some saw this as an opportunity to upgrade their signs and graphics. New shop fascia’s became particularly popular amongst a new wave of sole traders, going into business for the first time. This is where a sign company really comes into its own. Offering advice on logos, typeface, colour schemes, and all the other elements that go into good sign design is what FD Signs is known for.
Vehicle Graphics and Advertising Signs
Home extensions and renovations became popular, especially for people working from home. This saw a surge in the number of builders looking for safety and advertising signs and particularly vehicle graphics. They soon realised the advertising benefit of having a van or truck that helped them to sell their services.
Protective Screens
As stockists of clear Perspex sheeting FD Signs started to get requests for protective screens. These have now become permanent features in almost every building that you go into but especially schools, hospitals, shops and offices.
Keeping Pace with Technology
Our recent move into new premises has allowed FD Signs to increase our sign manufacturing capability and vehicle graphic capacity. we have invested in the latest sign making technology to truly become a One Stop Sign Shop.
