About Us

For nearly 40 years I have been lucky enough to have a job that I am passionate about. It’s a privilege to work for some of the area’s largest companies, whilst the next project could be supporting a new business seeking its own identity. It’s an awesome responsibility to safeguard the hard-earned brand of the first and to be trusted with creating a fresh brand for the second.

I’m incredibly proud of our small team, consistently delivering excellent results to companies that trust us with their signage needs. Though we remain a small business, our strength lies in long-standing service and unwavering quality. Please browse our galleries; I hope they convey our dedication and that we genuinely enjoy creating signs!

CHAS Accreditation: Demonstrating Health and Safety Excellence

H&S Excellence

CHAS (The Contractors Health & Safety Assessment Scheme) accreditation is awarded to companies able to demonstrate their health and safety processes meet a high standard. Increasingly, public and private sectors organisations are requiring companies and contractors to hold recognised health & safety accreditations.

As a small company, we are not legally obliged to achieve this compliancy level, but we have always believed in securing accreditation with a reputable health and safety scheme is a clear indicator to our customers of our trustworthiness. This accreditation is testament to our reliability and professionalism, adhering to industry best practices and taking time and care to ensure our operational safety.

"Despite my surname, I have no relation to this company. We had our work van sign written by them last year and were exceptionally pleased with the communication and service provided and it was all done at a reasonable price and quickly too! Will definitely use this company again for future vehicles and any other sign writing services required."

"I recently worked with Soanes Signs for both exterior and interior signage for the Start-Rite shoes site and was very impressed with the results. The team helped us from design to implementation and delivered exactly what we needed—on time and within budget. The exterior sign has boosted our visibility, while the interior signage has given the shop a lift. We've already received great feedback from customers and colleagues. I’d highly recommend Soanes Signs to any business looking for quality signage and excellent service."
