Cambridgeshire signage business celebrates string of successes

This article is brought to you by Retail Technology Review: Cambridgeshire signage business celebrates string of successes.

Signage and visual communications specialist, FASTSIGNS Peterborough, is celebrating a strong year of successes, following its relocation to Phorpres Close last October and a string of recent new appointments.

Over the past year, the centre has bolstered its workforce with the recruitment of Dave Thomas as regional sales manager, Gabriela Chandler as marketing manager and Martin Paluga as production operative.

The news follows the recent acquisition of a full 100 per cent stake of the centre by owner Paul Robinson, who purchased the remaining 50 percent of the business after the previous owner stepped down.

Having worked in the signage industry for almost four decades, Paul has a wealth of knowledge, and has been instrumental in steering the business through the challenges of the pandemic. Over the past 12 months, the centre has gone from strength to strength, with the team working on a range of projects from across the region. 

The centre has had a well-known presence in the local business community for 16 years, and prides itself on providing signage and visual communication solutions such as large exterior building signs, directional signs, exhibition stands and promotional goods.

Paul Robinson, managing director at FASTSIGNS Peterborough, said:  “There’s no denying that the last year has been incredibly challenging, with almost no business untouched by the pandemic’s effects. But I’m delighted to see just how FASTSIGNS Peterborough has adapted to and embraced the challenges.

“Not only have we been able to move premises, helping us access better transport routes to meet future demand, we’ve also grown our team. I truly believe our success is down to our well-established global brand, as well as good forward-planning. It’s also an indication that the signage sector is performing positively in the post-pandemic landscape. 

“It’s been a whirlwind of a year, but we’ve got so many exciting projects still to come, and I look forward to further successes in 2022.”
