NES Visual Thinking

How many people really listen properly to what their clients want? How many really understand all the inter-related issues? How many have the depth of experience to be able to provide the right advice on all the options − from material and size to construction, fitting and siting?
For our sign consultants, this is a way of life. We treat every client as an individual, and approach every new job with fresh eyes and an open mind. Best of all, our consultative advice is free.
Our sign consultants combine our years of successful experience and practical knowledge with a willingness to explore and test new signage ideas − from alternative materials, adhesives and fluid polymers to imaginative options for forming and shaping.

Some things are fine to do over the phone. Some things simply aren’t. Signage surveys are one of them.
Getting this critical part wrong can mean producing fascias that don’t fit into recesses, onto windows or even onto the building. Our aim is a perfect fit every time.
That’s why we always insist on our experienced surveyors going to site to see the building structure and take away any risk. Drawing on their expert knowledge, they’ll ensure that any foundations and all the fixings are right − and that every sign is a perfect fit and the right balance with the rest of the building.

A world leading entertainment company was rolling out new stores across Europe. They had an idea of the look and the effect they wanted for the store fronts. It involved an illuminated arch portal to produce a constantly changing array of colours with random sprays of fibre-optic light that created a magical effect.
Not your everyday brief. And yet not so different from many others − in the sense that we often go to great lengths to meet the most challenging and unusual demands.
Our R&D team relish complex problems like this. They take them in their stride − finding new materials and production methods, building prototype models for close-up inspection, and coming up with results that deliver not only high impact signage but impressive savings for clients.

You want to feel that your project is in safe and reliable hands. You want to be sure that any issues get resolved quickly and effectively, without being a drain on your time. That’s where our professional sign project managers come into their own. They’re there right at the start when the concept is being created, all the way through to handover when the signs are installed and looking great − on spec, on time on budget.
And at every stage of the process they’re closely, deeply and personally involved − looking after your interests, acting as brand guardians, and regularly on site as an integral part of team meetings.
It goes without saying that our PMs maintain detailed tracking documents that clients can review at any time … but few ever do because of the trusted relationships we’re so careful to build.

External, internal and architectural… LED, fluorescent, fibre optic and neon… acrylic, vinyl, bronze, aluminium and stainless steel… Our Signage Manufacturers produce every conceivable kind of bespoke signage and graphics, as well as painstakingly produced individual letters that can be moulded, flat cut, engraved or built up.
Our starting point is that nothing is impossible − but we never make a promise that we can’t keep. Our team of signage manufacturers regularly take on and successfully deliver the jobs that others turn away.
Our factory in Colchester has ninety thousand square feet of space with all the in-house facilities that we need: acrylic department, metalworking, spray shop, screen shop, digital print and router cutting. This means that we have the resources under our own control to be flexible and always able to respond fast.

We take just as much care in the sign installation process as we do with its design and manufacture. Our experienced in-house sign installers − supported by a trusted and proven network of installation engineers covering the UK and the globe − ensure that every installation goes smoothly and on time, with everything looking great and fitting exactly as it was intended.
Routinely working out of hours to avoid any disruption to business, we’re used to working to critical tight deadlines.

How do you make sure that your signage stays in perfect condition? Many clients call on our signage maintenance service − normally carried out once or twice a year − to keep their signs looking every bit as good as the day they were first installed.
This typically includes cleaning, any repairs, electrical checks and maintenance, and the treatment of any timber. We can also respond immediately to rectify any damaged signs that may look unsightly or pose a danger to the public.

We have had 50 years to develop a reputation for some of the best craftsmanship & signage in our industry both nationally and internationally, but we must continue to evolve our business.
