I've been busy hand-painting customers initials in gold leaf onto battleboxes that they have ordered from The Battlebox Company which they sell on their website also through the Bear Grylls' own website. These are finished in army green and are a great present for anyone who's adventurous.

Recently, I carried out some work for a local plastics company creating two 4m x 4m football logos onto a large area of banner material for Brighton & Hove Albion football club.

I had to use special screen-printing ink & had to make sure that the surface had to be kept dust free. These banners are being welded on to a large PVC cladded building at the Brighton & Hove Albion football ground.

We have been working on a new design of Shelf Signs for libraries which are an economical way to sign each individual shelf unit.

They are perfect for temporary Signage and supplied in an attractive range of Matt colours. We have received some good feedback and look forward to supplying Libraries in schools, universities, colleges, museums and general libraries throughout the UK and beyond.

New Honours Boards for King James.

We have just finished our latest order from King James School, Knaresborough to supply two new  lettered Oak Honours Boards with names dating back to 1617.

These were made by a local Cabinet Maker and lettered in Gold and Black with a digitally produced School Crest.

Alpha Signs was recently asked to carry out work replacing the old racecourse signs here at Thirsk. We have supplied the racecourse with a variety of different signs from plastic, aluminium & hand-painted wood...

On the large roadside signs we used white-faced aluminium which isn't affected by weather & will look the same today as it will in 10 years. We fitted an aluminium channel to these to act as a slider system so the times & dates can be changed for each meeting.

In the paddock areas we fitted a number of traditional handpainted wooden signs fitted with wrought iron brackets...

At Alpha SIgns we thought it would be a good idea for customers and potential customers to hear about what we get up to. The idea is to inform you about the types of diverse work that we carry out here at Alpha Signs.
