    I know PFI Sign Solutions/GB Signs in Trafford Park do a lot of Road Name Signs, they’re pressed metal signs and stove enamelled.

    Unfortunately I don’t have a contact name there anymore as they left to company.

    They certainly do street name signs though, all produced in house. :thumbsup:

    Green Signs & PFI are in effect the same,they run from the same premises. My understanding is that Green Signs, was Green Brothers, which when they folded PFI bought them and moved their equipment etc into their premises.

    Although I was told that PFI & Green Signs are run separately, I’ve not had much dealing with them recently.

    Hi David

    They are indeed the same, there are 3 or 4 companies under the PFI Group name. I deal with them all the time
