Invaluable opportunity

Events have always had their place in the world of business; they are a great tactical tool for companies who want to discover new products and services, as well as network with key contacts in any given company. All of the above applies to Signlink Live also.

What makes Signlink Live an attractive proposition to sign-makers is the fact it is an event which is targeted towards sign-makers specifically (read the visitor profile on the Signlink Live website for reference), and the essence of sign-making fabrication. We are all too familiar with events showcasing hardware and printers, so Signlink Live should provide attendees with an invaluable opportunity to enhance existing relationships, learn about new products and innovative technologies, or even source new suppliers.

At the event in October, we will showcase a range of commercial signage, all bespoke, all unique, and all with the aim of captivating people’s imaginations. Examples of products on show include illuminated tray signage, illuminated projecting signage, built-up letters, post and panel, plus many more. This alone is a reason to make sure you come visit stand K09. In addition to this, we will have industry experts on the stand that will be able to provide you with unrivalled expertise and insightful information regarding Smith, the new manufacturing division of William Smith Group 1832.

Making connections

Michelle Farnsworth, senior sales account manager, Mid West Displays


It is great to be part of an event that is so strongly focused on the signage sector; it means time spent at the show is an investment—a chance for sign-makers and others in the industry to connect with suppliers old and new, an opportunity to see the very latest developments and products, and a space for inspiration and ideas. There might even be some freebies along the way.

As one of the UK’s leading suppliers to the sign sector, it makes sense for us to exhibit at the inaugural show.

Our stand reflects Mid West Displays as a company. As a UK manufacturer, we will be showcasing our bestselling products that we make at our Shrewsbury base and sell across the UK and Europe such as LED panels, backlit lightboxes, as well as our non-illuminated product range.

Of course, we will also have a full range of sign support products and components on the stand. We are also keen to show off a whole range of innovative, cost-effective signage and POS products—some developed for existing clients and already in use in shops, restaurants, and estate agents, while others will be unveiled for the first time at Signlink Live. Watch this space.

We have big plans for our digital product range and there will be some great products on display. We will also have some exclusive offers that are only available to visitors to our stand, and low, low prices on some signage essentials that can be ordered on the day and delivered direct for complete convenience.

There is also a chance to win £250 worth of products—there is no minimum spend, just a voucher to redeem against hundreds of our products. Just leave your details for a chance to win. We are excited about the show and hope that it will be a regular event for us.

Adding value

CaptionChris Cox, director, Very Displays


Exhibitions are a great place to visit because you get all the best manufacturers and suppliers under one roof, making them efficient on both time and travel. An exhibition is positive, you get to experience the very best products and services available from the industry you are in and better yet, you can see it all in one day.

The sign industry is specialised, bespoke, and technical, and is fast moving from traditional to digital technologies. It is important to keep yourself up to date with all the latest techniques to ensure your business becomes more efficient.

There are not many sign shows in the UK, many are for printers and POS companies. Signlink Live is aimed at the sign business and specialises in that segment. They have recognised that not all sign companies want to attend digital print exhibitions, they want to visit exhibitions that focus on vinyls, vehicle wraps, and sign products.

Very Displays is a real alternative to other trade only display hardware suppliers and fits perfectly into what sign companies need today. We offer something a little different—we are not a big corporate, we do not intend to be. We want to remain focused on SMEs specialising in great service, good quality products, and maximum value.
 
Very Displays is simplicity not complexity. We are focusing on products and services that sell well, are popular, and give added value to signage companies. Our hardware product range covers banner stands, pop-up displays, fabric displays, beach flags, outdoor signs, SEG extrusion systems, and portable counters, with most available for next day delivery. To complete the service, we offer a fast, competitive textile and sewing capability along with wide UV graphics. We have a knowledgeable, dedicated, and experienced team ready to serve.

Technical excellence

Glenn Dunleavey, managing director, Innova Solutions

The performance and quality of our products speaks for themselves but selecting the correct product for an application can require insight and experience—something our team has in spades. Our expertise, honesty, and knowledge has won us a lot of trust and loyalty from sign companies and we cannot wait to bring that sound, practical advice to Signlink Live—make sure you come and speak to us.

We know our industry is steeped in technical excellence and that today’s sign-maker has a wealth of choice when considering the tools for their job and that is why you will find us exhibiting at Signlink Live 2017. We want to show people why we are market leading suppliers of high strength bonding tapes, structural adhesives, and photoluminescent materials to the sign industry.

We are looking forward to exhibiting our product range that will undoubtedly enhance the toolkit of any sign-maker and fitter


Being surrounded by other established, credible brands better equips us to stay up-to-date with the latest technology development and sector trends, and it allows us to meet others in the service supply chain. Having seen the investment that Signlink are putting into getting the word out about this fantastic event, I am confident that we will find value not just in the calibre of prospects and attendees, but in the workshops and opportunities to learn.

Giving people a positive, memorable experience is something that we understand. That is why at our last trade exhibition, we enlisted the help of eleven times World’s Strongest Man competitor, Mark Felix, the face of Innova Solutions. We pitted visitors and exhibitors against Felix’s world record breaking grip in a grip strength challenge. Like our products, Felix was unbeatable.

We are looking forward to exhibiting our product range that will undoubtedly enhance the toolkit of any sign-maker and fitter. We are Innova Solutions; bonding people, fixing problems.
