    Posted by David Rogers on 10 July 2009 at 19:43

    Spent most of this afternoon installing the ‘insights’ signage for Mansell.

    All 3m x 900mm.

    2 lightboxes & 2 folded composite – both with printed logos but vinyl black text.

    Full building-site PPE & regulations for this one…and the boom lift only just reached (hit it’s limits for the RHS signs).

    Boxes from kestrel, OK build quality, good price & fast delivery. Rest done in-house by moi.

    Locations were to architects spec…the onsite guys & me thought they should be level…but not to be.

    Did the agricoat van for an old schoolmate that’s been doing some painting work at our new unit (factory walls & floors).

    The ELITE van was entirely the customers own concept & layout (I had to bring it to life from his head)…over 3 hours of moving stuff around and adjustments. He’s delighted.

    I hate working on red vans….

    Karaoke Kapers – customer brought in USB with and A4 shaped image to fit Kangoo. Bit of fudging and away he went a couple of hours later with printed side panels. Chuft.

    Temporary ‘coming soon’ sign at our new unit. Four printed composite 8×4’s on a heavy duty wooden frame.

    ruffivan – ancient escort van for an up-and-coming local games development company. "Ruffian".
    They supplied image & mockup…I just made it happen.

    ‘B’ branding up irrigators & pumps for a local fruit farm "WP Bruce".

    Well done with the insight signs – they look very high indeed – just the sort of job that gives me sleepless nights beforehand but a great sense of satisfaction afterwards. You must be well pleased with them 😀

    I agree with you about red vans – I don’t like them either but thought the elite van works well – I presume it’s print and cut for the main lettering?

    The insight stuff did turn out rather well. Quite ‘professional’ looking really!

    i do enjoy making my own trays – nice profit to be had over a flat sheet…and a good sense of satisfaction.

    Quite demanding client, architect & site operators though – so fraught with stress from start to finish with 40pages worth of questionaires and legal stuff just to GET on site…then method & risk paperwork…and inductions…

    Everybody seemed fairly happy though when we left – and clients did drive by.

    MEWP was one of these bad boys. http://www.nationwideplatforms.co.uk/pdfs/s125.pdf
    and site op. supplied the operator as I don’t have my license.

    Elite – nearly all print & cut.
    Main text, fade & pics – printed with ‘normal’ text just vinyl.

    ipaf license is probably cheaper than an operator.
    £170 is the going rate for the course,

    Nice work though

    The MEWP was hired & operator was supplied by the client…bonus.

    Might be an idea for me to get a license at some point though as at that sort of money it’s pretty cheap.
