One of the UK’s leading suppliers of signage receives four awards at the Sign & Wrap Awards in Birmingham
UK leading signmaker, Astley, proudly received four awards at the 2024 Sign & Wrap Awards last week, marking a triumphant recognition of their exceptional creativity, craftsmanship, and fantastic workforce.
The Sign & Wrap Awards, known for celebrating outstanding achievements in the signage industry, brought together signmakers and vinyl wrapping professionals from across the UK and Ireland to honour the best in the business.
Astley earned accolades in four distinct categories: Gold in Architectural, Gold in Rollout, Best in Show across the 7 signage categories, and Highly Commended for Sign Company of the Year.
The Architectural Sign of the Year Award, as well as the Best in Show award, celebrated Astley’s work on the Ad Gefrin Distillery which wowed the judges with its use of natural materials and its complex craftsmanship. This project included the production of a variety of interior, exterior, and wayfinding signage products that complimented the architecture and celebrated Northumbrian heritage.
The judges loved the way that Astley shared all the processes of the project, including the stages that went into the production of the Ad Gefrin roundel. From CNC routing to creating a faux copper effect through custom spraying, this focal piece went through several processes to make it into the impressive showpiece that it is now.
Astley’s work on the rebrand of Jury’s Inn Hotels to Leonardo Hotels was also celebrated, earning a Gold award in the rollout category. This extensive programme demonstrated Astley’s high level of planning and logistical support, having overseen the rebrand transformation of 32 hotels across the UK.
The judges noted Astley’s attention to detail and the way they had gone above and beyond to deliver the project successfully – even producing a bespoke sample wall to show the client how the signs would look when complete.
James Mavi, Sales & Marketing Director at Astley, expressed his gratitude, saying,
“We are so honoured to have received these awards. This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team here at Astley.
