OLDHAM company Sign UK has relocated to bigger premises to handle continued growth.


The signage company has moved to a 10,000 sq ft building in Oldham West Business Park, Watts Street after seeing turnover rise significantly in its six years of trading.

The company, set up by managing director Chris Gledhill, has expanded the workforce in the last year with significant additions including an experienced design specialist.

Sign UK offers design, manufacturing, production, installation and maintenance services to a wide variety of clients.

With a growing percentage of the workload being carried out at various locations across Europe, Mr Gledhill (48), from Shaw, expects the team will welcome further new additions in the coming 12 months.

“Buying these premises reflects a significant investment in the company and will hopefully let the staff, clients and key suppliers know that we are wholly committed to growing this business.

“We have a great client portfolio which is now made up of over 90 per cent repeat business and is studded with an array of high street names. The demand is varied and covers jobs all around the UK and beyond.
