One of our most long standing clients at FASTSIGNS Manchester is UAP Ltd. UAP is one of the UK’s leading suppliers of door hardware and security products and is based locally in Bury. It both imports top of the range products from around the globe and works closely with the best UK-based manufacturers.
The company recently won the Hardware Company of the Year Award at the National Fenestration Awards.
It is our pleasure to have worked closely with UAP on a number of signage solutions to their ever-growing business, reflecting their ethos of being human-centred, innovation-driven and results-oriented.
FASTSIGNS Manchester has helped UAP to find stunning solutions to a range of signage needs after its recent move to its new corporate home:
Main entrance:
UAP’s new home was already blessed with a huge glass main entrance way. The opportunity to do something spectacular with this by incorporating an iconic signage solution was too good to pass up.
The decision to employ a blue palette was an obvious one to take as it reflects UAP’s own signature brand colour in its logo.
FASTSIGNS was able to produce a sign that captures the aspirations of UAP in its new home but also serves a dual, more practical purpose. Its sheer size provides direction to clients and suppliers who are visiting the company in these new premises for the first time.
Totem signage:
But this enormous logo over the building’s main entrance isn’t the only means UAP’s visitors have of finding the company now.
UAP felt strongly that their new building should be identifiable from every side. One of the ways it has achieved this was by commissioning FASTSIGNS Manchester to produce some equally iconic totem signage.
This allows delivery drivers, customers and other visitors all to find the building with maximum ease and efficiency. Strategically positioned beside an extremely busy main road, this totem signage ensures maximum visibility for UAP’s new home.
But it is totemic for UAP in more than just a physical sense. Its scale makes a bold statement about the company’s confidence and ambition as it takes up residence in its new home at the start of the next phase of its story.
Inside the building:
But it is not only grand gestures on the outside of UAP’s new building that FASTSIGNS has been able to help with.
Together we have created a beautiful new internal space, using cladding and dark textured wallpaper to contrast with a light box and fierce red branding.
With this we have delivered another highly impactful solution that meets UAP’s desire to reflect their branding and ethos of quality at the heart of their new home.
We always enjoy working with UAP and they assure us the feeling is mutual! We have delivered a number of successful projects for them, on time and on budget and which meet or exceed their expectations.
We look forward to helping them out again the next time they need to find a signage solution that will work for them!
