Factories
With factories in Broadstairs and Birmingham we have one of the largest sign-making facilities in Europe, with over 120,000 square feet of manufacturing capability, shared between our two locations.
Capacity
Our factory is set-up to handle large volume roll-out programs for major retailers, but we also produce a variety of bespoke signage for one-off projects, such as cinemas, shopping centres, sports and retail parks.
Environment
Working closely with our clients and suppliers, we take our environmental responsibilities seriously and use the most up-to-date manufacturing techniques and materials.
Expertise
Our highly skilled workforce uses the latest materials, technology and manufacturing techniques to produce products to the highest possible standard.

Matalan
As one of two nominated suppliers, we manufactured and installed a new Matalan signage package during a three-month program, as part of the clothing and homeware retailer’s national re-branding program. The signage included internally illuminated fascia signs and super-size flexface units.


Halifax
We produced and installed new-image fascia and projecting signs to 227 Halifax branches in less than 10 months. We also created a number of one-off, non-standard signage for the bank’s portfolio of heritage sites, Despite the tight timescale, the project was completed snag-free.


Brakes
Catering wholesaler Brakes opened its first ever ‘Professional Food Market’ cash and carry-style store in Croydon and we were tasked to manufacture the branding. We produced a full range of internal and external signage, including individual letters and an eight-meter high totem sign.


Wilko
When trusted high street retailer Wilkinson changed their image to “Wilko” we were awarded the project to resign 100 stores in just 9 weeks. The new-image corporate signage featured red aluminium background panel with LED illuminated individual Wilko letters.


Pret a Manger
One of our longest-standing clients, we’re heavily involved with Pret’s rapid and ever-expanding opening program. Producing internal and external signage, we manufacture individual illuminated letters, glass-look fascia panels, projecting signs and signwriting for menu boards and posters.


Brakes
Catering wholesaler Brakes opened its first ever ‘Professional Food Market’ cash and carry-style store in Croydon and we were tasked to manufacture the branding. We produced a full range of internal and external signage, including individual letters and an eight-meter high totem sign.

Meet The Team

Over 150 highly-skilled manufacturing staff work in our two factories. They are able to create everything from hand-fabricated individual letters, high volume fascia signs, work with LEDs, neon tubing, signwriting and operate state-of-the-art laser and water-jet cutting machinery.
Investing in the future of our workforce is essential and we operate a joint training apprenticeship scheme with East Kent College.
Peter Senior of East Kent College says:
“Blaze Signs has shown they’re a dedicated employer and have embraced the ethos of what an apprenticeship is and they employ a number of our young, local apprentices each year.”
