Games is 'jobs winner' for Lancashire firm
A specialist sign firm is 'racing ahead' thanks to winning the Sainsbury's 2015 School Games contract. HD Signs has doubled in size after get-
ting a major contract to supply all the signs and banners for the games, which were held in Manchester in September. The contract has enabled the firm to take on five new members of staff. The company, which also did work for
the London 2012 Olympics and the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, produced three and a half miles of mesh and PVC ban- ners for the games. They also produced 2150 signs and
banners for the event, which were put in place across all the venues for the games in Manchester such as: The National Cycling Centre; Bolton Arena; Manchester Aquatics
Centre; Regional Athletics Centre; the Phones 4 U Arena; The Armitage; the Indoor Tennis Centre; The Sugden Centre and the Regional Squash Centre. Jan Korab, HD Signs & Display
managing director said: "Winning the highly competitive tender for this year's Sainsbury's 2015 School Games was testament to our approach for this project and shows how far we have come as a company. "The contract, along with others that we
have secured in recent months, has allowed us to double our workforce. "As part of this hugely prestigious con-
tract we became part of an event manage- ment team, where we have been involved in months of planning, preparation, production and installation.
Winning the Sainsbury's contract meant HD Signs doubled in size.
"For this project we were given the re-
sponsibility for not only the creation of all art- work, but the large scale production of the banners and all signage. "In addition we installed all our own
work and were tasked with the de-rigging of all venues at the conclusion of the games." HD Signs' specialised five-metre printer
worked non-stop to print a total of 10 tonnes of banners and signs. The firm then spent weeks installing the signs and banners across the nine sites. The Sainsbury's 2015 School Games,
supported by National Lottery funding from Sport England and delivered by the Youth Sport Trust, are a major multi-sport event for some of the most talented young athletes across the UK. From 3-6 September, 1600 athletes
competed in 12 sports in venues across Manchester and experienced a 'spectacular' opening and closing ceremony, Athletes' Village, and a targeted education programme which included anti-doping advice and guidance.
HD Signs printed 10 tonnes of banners and signs. CDS rock!
Crystal Display Solutions (CDS) have in- stalled one of their transparent displays at a Hard Rock Café in Orlando. They chose the screens for their popular restaurant in Florida to showcase classic music memorabilia from The Beatles. A 21.5″ transparent case shows a pair of sneakers and an Abbey Road sign. Many of CDS' customers have found
these high-impact transparent displays are unmatched when it comes to making a pow- erful impression of a message on passers- by, says CDS. CDS Managing Director, Chris Bartram said: "We are always grateful when our
customers share the end result with us. Transparent technology is constantly growing and becoming increasingly popular. Over the years we have noticed the increase, from being key suppliers in the market from the start. We are always keen to assist and give advice to these companies with their ideas and designs for their projects. And we feel we can offer the best of both worlds that customers will see when they receive excellent products and unbeatable service from here in the UK."
