Our story
Direct Signs started in the Midlands in 1980 as a small sign-making workshop. Forty years on, we are one of the UK's most established sign manufacturers, supplying everything from single bespoke signs to whole-site signage refreshes for enterprise customers.
What hasn't changed is the model: design and manufacture every sign in the UK, work with customers on whatever they need (one piece or one thousand), and treat every sign as a real piece of work — not a commodity.
What we do
We make four kinds of signage:
- Custom signs — engineered to your exact specification
- Safety signs — the full BS EN ISO 7010 range, over 1,900 stock products
- Wayfinding systems — designed for complex sites
- Site signage — for construction, industrial, and outdoor sites
How we work
Our model is built for the way enterprise customers actually buy: account terms, project-managed delivery, real human beings on the phone, and a willingness to make whatever you need rather than push the closest catalogue match.
For complex projects we offer a free site survey, design service, and installation. For straightforward orders we ship within 24 hours.
