From wayfinding and health & safety signage to branded display boards and exterior identity signs, we deliver solutions that meet regulatory standards, promote accessibility, and improve public engagement.

Why Choose Signage for the Public Sector?

Public-facing services must communicate clearly, consistently and accessibly. Professionally designed signage in public spaces helps to:

  • Improve navigation for visitors and staff
  • Ensure compliance with health and safety regulations
  • Reinforce trust through consistent branding
  • Support inclusion with accessible design
  • Reduce confusion in high-traffic areas

Whether it’s a hospital corridor or a civic centre entrance, clear signage supports smooth, safe experiences for all users.

Benefits of Public Sector Signage

  • Supports operational efficiency and accessibility
  • Enhances public trust through consistent, clear communication
  • Improves safety and compliance in regulated spaces
  • Reduces enquiries and staff workload through clear directions
  • Tailored solutions for every public service environment

Public Sector

Design Considerations for Effective Public Sector Signage

Signage in public spaces must be highly legible, accessible, and aligned with brand or department identity. Our design approach includes:

  • Compliance with accessibility standards (e.g., colour contrast, tactile/Braille options)
  • Use of official logos, typefaces, and colours for council and NHS signage
  • Multilingual signage is required for diverse communities
  • Clear visual hierarchy to guide users quickly and effectively

We design signage that works for everyone, regardless of ability or language.

Materials & Durability

Public sector environments require signage that is both robust and cost-effective. We offer:

  • Dibond (aluminium composite) – for external signs, building identifiers and council boards
  • Foamex & PVC – ideal for internal directional signs, wall panels and notices
  • Acrylic & Perspex – for professional, polished displays in lobbies or reception areas
  • Reflective & anti-graffiti coatings – ideal for high-traffic or vandal-prone areas

All materials are suitable for long-term use, with options available for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Installation & Safety Processes

We deliver complete signage packages, from consultation to professional installation:

  • Site surveys to assess needs, compliance, and public usage
  • Detailed RAMS documentation to meet public sector safety standards
  • Professional installation teams experienced in working on live public sites
  • Flexible scheduling to reduce disruption to services

We work seamlessly with estates, facilities, and project teams to deliver on time and on budget.
