The standard unit is made from aluminium and has 6 x A3 size landscape pockets which can also be used as 12 x A4 portrait pockets. Strips of LEDs provide down lighting which fully highlights each property. The design is very efficient as it uses LEDs which are more energy efficient than standard lighting, and the design is simple and modern. It fits nicely into any store layout, especially for window display and can be tailored to either hold more or less advertisements. The unit come in a range of colours and has space for the Estate Agents’ branding.

The move to our new premises has allowed us the space to start a research and development facility for all our products and the new LED property display unit is the first of many. All the electrics are neatly hidden and stowed away within the cylindrical centre and it can be simply plugged into and standard plug socket.

One key feature of the display stand, is that it can be placed anywhere within the store. As it provides illuminated advertisement on both sides, it is great for positioning anywhere, and can be moved with ease.

The illuminated estate agent display has quickly attracted plenty of attention which has resulted in some substantial orders already.

Their signs were installed at their new head offices in Notting Hill, London by our expert engineers this week. The signage build was built-up letters from yellow acrylic with black faces which was mounted onto folded aluminium sign tray with fluorescent illumination. The entire sign was then suspended from the ceiling.

The top notch signs match the culture at the classy company and we hope that the new signs will continue to help Made.com prosper in a market place which they continue to shake up. Win Kwock, Art Director at Made commented ”We’re absolutely thrilled with our new signs, thank you”.

Made.com was founded in 2010 by Chinese-French entrepreneur Ning Lee, who has brought his knowledge of Designer furniture and international logistics to serve a new market in the UK.

Mr Lee noted in an interview with Gq-magazine.co.uk that “selling high-end furniture for discounted prices makes sense.” and also in the same article that “The retail industry is at a tipping point. The internet has started to democratise every industry.” Other retailers would do well to take note of Made’s strategy and the way retail is changing in the UK and how to take advantage of the changes.

To discuss any retail signage or other project you may have then please get in contact with us, we’d be pleased to help.

The premises which were formally a garden centre have been extensively re-generated over the past 6 months to provide 12,000 square feet of space, doubling the size of the previous location in Uckfield. The new location also includes the best signage showroom in the country, which displays a large range of signage including retail signs, LED illuminated signs, neon signs and custom signs. Our door is always open should anyone like to see what is available.

The move also comes with room to grow for Graffiti, as there is room for expansion on the premises should this be needed. The new workshop space includes 2 large bed routers for cutting the faces of our signs, a large paint shop for painting our signs and a large graphics studio for assembly of our signs. There is also an in-house graphics studio equipped with the latest design technology to help our customers re-brand their signs or help new businesses design their brand from scratch.

What all this means is that the company is now able to create more award winning signs for our clients and help local and national business to create fantastic retail spaces which stand out from the crowd.

The future seems bright for Graffiti as we look to go for our 3^rd successive year of growth and continue to succeed in a difficult market place.

Graffiti also narrowly missed out on the top prize at the awards, ‘Sign Company of the Year’ was awarded to Signbox for the second year in a row, but it was a sign of Graffiti’s progress in the last few years that they were recognised as the 2^nd best sign company in the UK in 2011/12.

In 2011 Graffiti saw a 50% year-on-year increase in sales despite the on-going slump in the economy. The increase in business followed a strong 2010 and allowed Graffiti to move to a new state-of-the-art Head Office in Heathfield, East Sussex.  The offices are based at the site of the former Broad Oak garden centre which had been vacant for a number of years before Graffiti moved in, in September 2011.

This move has doubled the company’s production capacity by giving larger premises (14k sq feet) to meet the demand of new and existing customers. The move also allows the company to expand further in the coming years and sees the opening of a very impressive showroom, which showcases the very latest products the sign industry has to offer.

Graffiti’s Managing Director Neil Keeley said “We’ve had an amazing couple of years, and the Community stadium project and the award which recognises all the hard work has been the icing on the cake – and we like to think has helped the seagulls get to the verge of the Premiership.”

On the move to the new offices Neil commented “The new offices allow us to carry on delivering projects to more customers, we had out-grown our old offices in Uckfield and hope that our move will also be good for the local community as we have already taken on new staff and will look to offer more jobs to the local community as we expand”.

If you have a new signage project or just want to come and have a look at our new showroom then please contact Damien Pestell on Damien@graffitidesign.co.uk or 01435 866763

Yesterday we completed the installation of a supersized flexface sign for the American Express Community Stadium in Brighton. the 36,500×1,800mm curved LED lit box has to be one of the biggest installed in the UK!

Thanks
The Graffiti Team

We used the whole range of materials in the sign makers kit bag to make the letters including Oak, aluminium, brass, acrylic & stainless steel. These were used to produce individual letters for the retail outlets as well as projecting signs and A-boards.

The idea was to make every shop look slightly different and unique, this is no small challenge when White stuff has over 60 retail outlets and are expanding rapidly. There were several different brand ideas to begin with which were slowly whittled down through prototypes which were displayed at White Stuff 3 mock shops at their Head Office in London.

All the signs and letters used in the White Stuff re-brand are hand painted and made by our skilful team of sign makers. We have developed a process which is easily scalable and can be repeated for additional stores with minor adjustments made to colours and finishes to give each store a uniqueness which adds to the success of White Stuffs business

We have worked tirelessly with AMD and White Stuff over the past 18 months to constantly develop their signage specification and have thoroughly enjoyed the challenge and are very proud of the end result.

The signage as well as an excellent business model and strong brand has helped White Stuff to drive their business growth over the last few years and as well as re-branding existing stores White Stuff have opened 7 stores in 2010 including their largest ever in Edinburgh.

Whereas some retailers have suffered in the recession of recent years White Stuff have bucked the trend by posting record results throughout the period. To demonstrate this total sales have risen 43 per cent in the last year, according to financial results published on 18th February 2011. For the 52 weeks up until May 1st 2010, the retailer saw underlying EBITDA increase 38 per cent to 18.4 million whilst its gross margin percentage was up 0.73 per cent.

Sally Bailey, White Stuff CEO, commented: “White Stuff has had an incredible year. As well as enjoying very strong growth, we’ve also been able to give something back…. We’ve worked hard to create a unique shopping experience that is unlike anything else on the high street.

Graffiti Design are proud to be a part of the success story of White Stuff and look forward to working with them further in the future
