News: Signs Express provide backdrop to awards

Signs Express took centre stage at the Sheffield Business Awards last month after creating a custom designed backdrop for the awards stage.

The leading sign maker, based in Rotherham, was commissioned by Gordon Audio Visual, the event production company who managed the event hosted by Sheffield Chamber at Ponds Forge International Sports Centre.

With just a month lead-time, Signs Express took the concept and set about designing an impressive stage set which accommodated the required lighting rig and set the scene for the prestigious awards ceremony.

The glittering backdrop was covered in a silver gemstone diamond effect vinyl and featured a series of purple stars and a 2m top hat.

Commenting on the project, centre owner Steve Morris said: "It was a challenging project but one which we thoroughly enjoyed, especially being a local business ourselves. We wanted the awards to have a great impact in the community and this was certainly achieved with the stunning finished result."

"Much of the assembly work and final design modifications had to take place on site because the stage set had to fit the supplied lighting rig and once the final finishing touches were added, we were all eager to see the audience’s reaction. We were certainly not disappointed."
