What Are Directional Signs?

Good directional signs in Manchester do one job: they get people where they need to go without confusion or frustration. In large premises, multi-occupancy buildings, busy car parks or sprawling industrial estates, clear and well-positioned wayfinding signage reduces stress, saves time and creates a more professional experience for everyone.

We design and manufacture directional signage systems for businesses, property managers, NHS facilities, universities, retail parks and local authorities across Greater Manchester. From a single post-mounted direction arrow in a car park to a full site-wide wayfinding scheme with floor directories, overhead gantry signs and room identification plates — we handle projects of every scale.

Our wayfinding signs are built to last in external and internal environments, using aluminium, stainless steel, acrylic and powder-coated frames. We design with clarity as the primary goal — the best directional sign is one your visitors use without even consciously noticing it.

Directional Signs Manchester — Common Questions

How do you plan a wayfinding system for a large site?

We start by walking the site as a first-time visitor would, identifying decision points — junctions, building entrances, lift lobbies — where signs are needed. We then map every required sign, message and position before any design work starts.

Can you match our corporate brand guidelines for all the signs?

Yes. We work from your brand guidelines to ensure every sign in the system uses the correct colours, typefaces, logo placement and visual language as specified.

Do directional signs require planning permission?

External freestanding signs typically require Advertisement Consent from Manchester City Council. Internal wayfinding signs generally don’t require planning permission. We advise on what’s needed during the survey stage.

What materials are best for external directional signs in Manchester?

Powder-coated aluminium is our most popular choice for external directional signs — it’s lightweight, durable, rust-proof and handles the Manchester climate very well.

Can you update our existing directional signs if our site changes?

Yes. We manufacture new graphic inserts, add signs to existing posts and modify face plates to reflect changes in your site — keeping your system accurate and current.
