Service Graphics' new 46,000ft2 site will house an S20 Inca Cuts benefit Norfolk school
Following a thorough sort out of its workshop, Signwaves has donated 250kg of varied sheet materials to Taverham High School, Norfolk. The donation includes aluminium composite material (ACM), acrylic, polyethylene and polycarbonate sheets, all of which are production off-cuts which would otherwise have been recycled or sent to landfill.
Design and technology department technician at Taverham High School, Bernard Towers, said: “With diminishing budgets it is difficult for schools to access the more costly materials like acrylic and ACM, so this type of assistance is invaluable. This kind of support stimulates innovation in school projects and helps bridge the gap between education and industry.”

Paul said: “It was great to win, especially as I was already considering doing the course. Style Signs offers general signage work, vehicle graphics, banners, shop signs and magnetic signs, but we’ve been getting an increasing number of enquiries for vehicle wraps. Although I was lucky enough to win a free place, I would have considered it well worth the price.”
