Much of this spend was committed to new kit, with the company having taken on a new Zund conveyor cutting machine, three Mimaki large-format roll-to-roll printers, Kala and Crest laminators, an Agfa Jeti Mira UV flatbed printer, an IPS metal channel letter bending machine and a Henrob blind riveting machine

Aside from this, Doncaster-based Visual Group also spent money on its building, undertaking a refurbishment of its offices and expanding its overall workspace by 5,000sq ft to 95,000sq ft.

Managing director Paul Kantecki reflects on the past year, paying tribute to the effort that helped make the investments a success.

“The whole building has come on such a long way, albeit Covid-19 did delay us, but what the team have achieved is amazing in both the refit, business structure and growth,” he says.

“Due to being classed as an essential business, we were very fortunate to be able to remain open, making social distancing products for businesses that continued throughout the lockdown as well as those preparing to open afterwards.”

Nigel Spencer, commercial director at Visual Group, adds: “Sign manufacturing is at the heart of what we do and it is vital for us to continue to invest in our equipment and premises so we can meet growing customer demand.

“We are committed to making key changes to our business and infrastructure which will allow us to enhance our offering to existing and new clientele.”
