MEMBERNEWS IN BRIEF
International deal is a very good sign for Hardy
Burton-based Hardy Signs is continuing to secure new, exciting projects – both home and abroad. The company recently went to
Brussels to install a series of external signage for the automotive giant, Plastic Omnium. The international organisation specialises in the manufacture and commercialisation of automotive plastics and has been a Hardy Signs client for more than 20 years in the UK. The award-winning signmaker
has been providing a variety of signage in multiple locations for Plastic Omnium in the UK before taking on this global project. All the signage material was
manufactured in the UK at the company’s HQ in Burton upon Trent and transported to Belgium by its own fleet. Hardy Signs has successfully
won the second phase to install interior signage in the early autumn, leading to the official opening of the plant in 2019. Tom Hardy, Operations
Director of Hardy Signs, said: “It was particularly satisfying for me to take the lead on this project from initial site survey through to successful installation on foreign soil.” Nik Hardy, Founder and Managing Director, added: “This is a significant milestone for the company – celebrating 25 years in business and winning our first international project cements our excellent reputation in the industry.’’
