    Nice work David, was this your first installation of a fret cut sign? i’m assuming it’s LED lit due the depth. How long did it take to fit?

    Thanks,
    Seun

    Hi sean, it was for an elcetrical company who decided they would save ££ lighting it themselves, i couldnt be bothered arguing the case, they intend to do it with led’s.

    fitting is very simple, aluminium angle top and bottom, these were also supplied by james, fitting in 1 hour 30 mins or so but im not known to rush!!!

    james sent the sign fret cut , with acrylic in place i only had to mount the flatcut letters and apply the vinyl along the bottom,

    Cannot thank james and group 101 enough, the service is fantastic and makes it possible for a small one man band, working from home, to supply signage like this.

    David,

    Thank you very much for the kind words…Its always nice when one of our trade partners takes a moment to leave such nice feedback.

    I would just like to add to Davids post, when David first used us it was for a couple of vinyl stickers a very small sale to most businesses but to us it was another partner on our network and what we have found is with regular support and advice you can really help your partners grow very quickly…..(Dave states this well in his post)

    This is an example of that, David supplied us with exactly what he was trying to achieve with this sign and we were able to deliver a solution for him and ensure it got to him in one piece. (which it did)

    Time and time again I find newbies trying to make trays only to mess them up and ultimately end up with negative feedback from clients….We have a very competitive structure for trays and as we only supply the trade we keep our margins tight so our clients have enough in the job too.

    One of the things that makes us different from the rest is our friendly and supportive nature, some of our local partners who collect from us will vouch that we will often stop have a long old chat and even share a coffee talking about all things signage. One thing we like at 101 is a good old chin wag!

    I’m smiling from cheek to cheek – Hope to serve some more of you board members in the future1

    Kind Regards

    James
