Hello from Leighton Buzzard

Posted by Steve Newell on February 26, 2009 at 7:54 pm

Hi Guys
I’ve been a ‘closet’ sign boarder for too long now, it’s time to come out!
I’ve learned a heck of a lot from you guys over the last 12 months so I hope I can return the favour.
I have been in the paintspraying industry for 25 years painting Industrial Equipment and commercial vehicles. I got into signmaking as more and more of my customers wanted resprays and graphics together. So we bought a cutter,then a printer and with your help we’ve managed to get by.
If I can help in any way, I’d be glad to

Thanks for the welcome guys
Shane, apparrently the name Leighton Buzzard comes from the 12th century when the local Dean had 2 towns called Leighton under his belt so he named one of them after the local mayor called Buzar, hence Leighton Buzzard.
