  • Hello UKSG from Telford Shropshire

    Posted by Chrystopher James on 15 September 2016 at 15:50

    Hi All,

    Just thought I would say hello before I start posting or replying on any of the other topics, so that I’m not a complete stranger to you 🙂

    I am fairly new to this particular industry, as I’m mainly an IT Geek running my own IT MSP company, focusing on IT Support and Security, with a particular focus on Cyber Security. I know it’s not directly related to UKSG, but if I can help answer any questions regarding these topics, I will be more than happy to assist.

    What brought me to this industry, is that I have gone in to Partnership with two very good friends, due to a love for MG cars. We set up Hanson James Ltd to sell Upgraded Car Parts and Parts that are no longer manufactured for these British vehicles.

    We decided to purchase a plotter and vinyl, purely for branding our parts, but this has led to quite a few more areas, that we had not considered previously. So along with our own branding, we have started providing Facebook Group stickers for the various sub groups of MG meets, along with other custom stickers that people have requested from us.

    It’s hard to say no to customers, especially when you have the equipment just sat there. So this has also led to commercial vehicle signage, as well as shop signage, but only using vinyl. We are not providing full colour digital printing, at least not at this stage anyway.

    This is why I thought it would be good to become a Member of UKSG, not only to receive help, advice, guidance and ideas etc, but to also provide back in to the community where possible, based on our experiences as we grow in this area.

    Only registered on the site in the last couple of days, but I can already tell that it’s like a family, just by reading through some of the posts. For that reason, I decided to go straight in at the top end as a Gold UKSG Member, to show my commitment and appreciation for this community.

    Anyway, enough of my waffle and I look forward to getting to know you during our time here.

    Regards,
    Chrystopher :smiles:

    Welcome Chrystopher. I’m an old car fan myself so we have something in common other than just signs

    @Iain We’re in Unit V on the Court Works Industrial Estate (TF7 4JB)

    @Phill Great to hear, do you have an interest in any particular cars? Personally I love the MG ZS’s, owning a MK2 ZS+ 120 with the 180 body kit in Firefrost Red

    Welcome Chrystopher,

    I’m sure you’ll find lots of helpful information on the boards and there are some great tutorials here too. I never stop learning, and finding better ways of doing things I’ve done numerous times before.
