The company's new branding not only represents a refreshing change for this local company but also helps to effectively communicate the sheer range of services offered by James Aipe Limited, some of which some people may have previously been unaware.


James Alpe Limited have long been renowned as an expert vehicle accident repair and servicing company and a leading UK van conversion specialist at their Lincoln Way base on the outskirts of Clitheroe. In the last few years, the company has expanded, into vehicles sales and car and van hire at additional premises, on Peel Street.


In recent times, the firm has added a sixth arm to its business, James A lpe Sign & Design. Based at Peel Street, the new company's remit is simple: to show clients how to communicate with impact by providing- bold, striking, eye-catching signage.


Sign & Design offer a fully comprehensive range of affordable, innovative solutions: everything from vehicle livery and graphics, exterior signs and window displays, through to indoor displays, point of sale signage, A-boards and banners.

However, as James himself points out, ''(the,company) /sjus^dsg


Managing Director, James Alpe is clear on the range of his new company's capabilities:


“These days; almost


anything is possible with business signage, almost to the point where we are limited only by the imagination of the individual client."


James was also delighted to announce the arrival of new Sales Director, Ian Jones who also resides in the Ribble


■ Valley. Ian (pictured right) joined Sign & Design having recently retired from the Police Force.


Ian is quick to. emphasise the essential benefits of high quality building signage (as pictured below: one of Sign & Design's recent installations): "High visibility building signs not only help people to locate you but they advertise your business, perhaps on a busy high street or a business park. A weii thought out building sign wiii realiy seliyour business to both passing pedestrians and vehicles."


Of course, this helps businesses to build that essential element - brand awareness, and. enables them.to stand . out from the crowd.


Many of the company's clients have also taken advantage


. of the range of peripheral products and accessories such as vinyl banners and A-boards,and for Sign & Design no


job is too large or too small. It is this flexibility, along with the company's "account management” approach to excellent client service, and highly competitive pricing that has led to the success that the company continues to enjoy.

Ian has come onboard to.fake the already successful Sign j i & Design to the next level.


Having spent 30 years as a Police Officer, ian is delighted r with his change of career direction and is very enthused by ' not only what Sign & Design is capable of from a design perspective but also how their work can help other businesses with their overaii marketing message. Ian commented: “Marketing is communication and effective signs are an ideal way to communicate with your audience. Vehicle graphics (example, pictured above) give you essential free advertising space. 75,000 people will see your company vehicle in a typical week - we ensure that our clients make a bold statement when they're on the move."
