SO much has changed in 36 years, but the team at KenSigns has always moved on with the times, ready to provide customers with the best possible service using the latest technology. Today, wide format printing and computer produced graphics have improved in terms of colour fastness and durability, while the introduction of LEDs has opened up a whole range of options for customers, but KenSigns still retains the traditional skills that they began with when Ken Moate founded the company with a box of paints, brushes and a ladder. As one of the most experienced sign companies in the region, KenSigns has a strong customer base across all business sectors, from retail, motoring and manufacturing to local authorities, the NHS and leisure companies. The Kettering firm offers everything from external and internal signs, notice boards, vehicle graphics, office or custom-sized photographic canvases. The biggest change in recent years has been in LED illumination for signs. LEDs can be used internally in illuminated sign boxes, in trough lighting, individual lettering, special effects such as halo illumination, edge lit acrylic, neon effect and is programmable for changing colour effects. And part of its growing popularity is, according to Ken Moate, its affordability. He said: “That’s the main attraction for sign buyers now, because LEDs cost a fraction of the old fashioned tubes to run – savings of up to 40 or 50 per cent are typical – and the savings easily mean the illumination of signage with LEDs pays for itself within one to three years.” KenSigns has a range of samples to help customers choose and can advise and work with them to find suitable solutions in all types of illuminated and non-illuminated signs. “Signs are still the best way of getting a business noticed, whether it’s on the exterior of a building where people see it as they go past, or on a vehicle, promoting the company while employees are out on the road,” added Ken.
