Signs are a powerful marketing tool for any business and Essex Emergency Services makes no exception. Aluminium panels on three sides of their North Weald warehouse span nearly 300ft wide all in. When powerful winds battered Essex at the start of the year, the fixings for some of these panels failed, causing huge 8x4ft panels to come away from the building. As the signs are visible from up to 1km away, it was key to ensure a swift repair/replacement to maintain the impressive image EES have.

We started this project with an initial site visit to investigate which panels would need replacing and ascertain heights and access for fitting them. The signs are fitted at a height of 10m, requiring specialist access and our IPAF/MEWP trained and certified staff. On the day of installation, we first used a cherry picker platform to remove the damaged panels and fixings. Building a new frame mounted to the warehouse provided a new sturdy and solid platform to mount the replacement panels on. This also helped with the adjoining panels, keeping them all firmly mounted to prevent a similar issue occuring again.

Brave title for a big topic but let’s run you through why Citiprint are the Leading choice in Print and Signage across the UK.

PRODUCTION

For starters, we produce 90% of our print in house at a purpose production unit meaning total control over quality, efficiency and cost. This saving we can then pass on to you and can keep you updated on your order every step of the way, whether it’s one t-shirt or 1000 banners. We have been constantly reinvesting since day one in better equipment to keep at the forefront of an ever changing market, allowing us to always produce high quality results every time.

SERVICE

When you order with us, no matter what the value of your order, you’ll be given a dedicated account manager who will assist you in choosing the right spec for your print, signage or workwear and will benchmark ourselves against competitors to show how competitive we are on pricing, whilst still delivering unbeatable service. We always aim to give you the same account manager every time you order with us as we love building relationships with our clients and seeing how print can grow their business.

INSTALLATION

We install signage and graphics up and down the country with regular work in the surrounding area, London and other key cities. We strictly don’t outsource any installation so you’ll always have contact with an employee of ours, trained, tested and approved to our strict criteria. You can of course also visit us for graphics installation at our unit where we provide a secure, contained environment for your vehicle or fleet and Netflix, tea/coffee and comfy sofas for you!

SPEED

Faster, faster, faster! In this day and age, we want everything on demand. We can tap our phones and have a taxi arrive at the door or a chinese sent to us in minutes. It’s that ease and speed that we know our clients need and that’s why we’re proud to be the UK’s Fastest Printing Company. We have designed, printed and installed lorry signage in muddy fields overnight at Goodwood Festival of Speed, we’ve produced workwear through the night for Amazon and delivered the next morning 200 miles away and even produced Same Day graphics for a ’60s Ambulance! No job is too big or too small on our fast turnaround. We achieve this by constantly reinvesting and managing our workflow efficiently to give you the best shot at a fast turnaround when you really need it.

PASSION

We’re experienced, passionate and quite knowledgable about print, if we don’t say so ourselves. Ink runs in our blood at Citiprint and we only hire people who share the same enthusiasm and approach as we do. We’re totally different to any other print or sign company, offering in effect a 24/7 service, tons of advice to allow you to make the best informed decision and the highest quality materials as standard. We’ve even cut certain product options from our range as the quality isn’t good enough for us. We’ve tried and tested many suppliers and now deliver the fastest service possible to a growing demand.

So there you have it, that’s 5 reasons why you need us in your life. Now, you just need 1 number – 0203 167 0400.
