How time has flown and what an exciting year it has been in the sign and wide-format print industries. As we draw closer to the end of 2016, it is hard not to think about what is in store for 2017. In this issue of SignLink, Harriet Gordon speculates on the key growth sectors over the past year with luxury products, décor, and sustainability all sectors coming out on top (page 47).
Our main focus in this issue is LED lighting systems and Brenda Hodgson has taken a closer look at the sector on page 52. LEDs over the past five years or so have developed significantly with so many more options available for sign-makers to really get creative with signage.

Some of the key players in the market also discuss the endless possibilities of LEDs in Trade Comment on page 38, including Kings Plastics, We Love LEDs (part of The Sign Group), Perspex Distribution, and OMC.
One of the primary messages from the advice given by the experts is that they are always on hand to help, and by calling them up or giving them an email with any questions, they will be more than happy to talk you through the options and what they would advise for your specific requirements.
It is this ‘happy to help’ attitude that I think keeps the sign industry as strong as it is, with plenty of people that have a great deal and experience and knowledge ready to help customers grow their businesses.
