Schuh Nottingham High Street Retail Signage Project
Located on a busy high street in Nottingham, this project for Schuh required a complete signage solution for both the adult and kids stores, combining impactful branding with efficient project delivery to meet a demanding construction schedule.
Our team manufactured all internal and external signage in-house, ensuring complete quality control throughout production and installation. The external signage was designed to maximise visibility within a high-footfall retail environment, featuring faux neon white acrylic letters paired with a vibrant green halo band to create bright and effective illumination both day and night.
A standout feature of the project was the bespoke projecting sign, carefully designed and fabricated to complement the Schuh brand identity while increasing visibility from multiple directions along the high street. The sign incorporated illuminated faces and side illumination, creating a premium finish and enhancing the store’s presence within the surrounding retail environment.
During the construction phase, we also supplied and installed temporary privacy graphics to maintain a professional appearance while concealing the internal fit-out works from public view. These graphics ensured the site remained visually branded ahead of the official store opening while supporting operational requirements on-site.
Through detailed planning and proactive coordination from our project management team, all signage elements were delivered and installed on schedule to align with the client’s opening programme. Our in-house manufacturing capabilities and organised installation process enabled a smooth delivery from concept through to completion.
