    JUST HOME FROM SIGN UK AND THE SIGN INDUSTRY AWARDS WITH THE BIGGEST SMILE ON MY FACE THAT I HAVE EVER HAD.
    😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

    We Care Pharmacy http://www.uksignboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=18207
    won the
    Sign Industry Awards 2006 Retail Sign of the year on Wednesday night.

    Thanks to every one that encouraged us to take part.
    It still hasn’t sunk in that a firm of 5 people working from a farm yard in the middle of nowhere beat the biggest sign company in the UK with 250 employees,whose entries included Abbey National and Ann Summers entire Re-branding Projects.
    the smile will be on my face for months. 😀 😀 😀 😀

    thanks again every one, and just to add , the biggest aren’t always the best

    Congratulations to you all.Goes to show, if you are good at your art, then it will be recognised. Nice to see that the bigger companies don’t always win the accolades.

    Congratulations!!! it’s a great feeling we at Neon Craft won the best Neon/illuminated sign the first year the awards started with our Burberry Christmas window displays, absolute fantastic feeling takes a while to arrive back down to earth.
    Think we’ll be going for it again next year got some awesome projects coming up let you know all about them on the boards when the time comes, anyone know who won the best illuminated sign for this year?

    Regards Chris Timmermmans.

    i think it was ACE SIGNS, it was for the Fort Dunlop sign in Birmingham.
    each letter was 2.5m high fully programed RGB LED’s standing a total of 15meters of the ground. Awesome looking sign . it won the best overall sign of the year too. I think the pictures will all be on the web next week.
    regards
