This week, we had the absolute pleasure of hosting students from Fountains High School at our Hardy Signs headquarters in Burton-on-Trent. The visit was all about inspiring young minds and sharing a behind-the-scenes look at what we do best – creating innovative signage solutions!
The session kicked off with a tailored marketing presentation, where we shared insights on how we promote our signage and offered the students practical tips on selling their handmade Christmas baubles this festive season. It was fantastic to see their enthusiasm and creative ideas take shape as we explored how to communicate and engage effectively with their audience.
Afterwards, we took the students on an exclusive tour of our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. From live demonstrations of digital printing to vinyl printing and weaving, they got a firsthand look at the technology and processes that bring our signage to life. Our talented team also shared insights about their roles and skills, sparking curiosity and excitement among our young visitors.
A spokesperson from Fountains High School said “Today, 4A3 had an exciting visit to Hardy Signs Ltd to learn all about how they market their products! This hands-on experience will help us with our own Christmas bauble project, as we explore creative ways to promote what we’ve made in school. We even got a behind-the-scenes tour of the factory to see how the magic happens when they create their amazing signs. Big thanks to Hardy Signs for showing us the ropes!“
We thoroughly enjoyed spending time with such a bright and enthusiastic group and were inspired by their energy and creativity. We hope they left with new ideas and confidence to make their festive fundraising project a huge success.
At Hardy Signs, we’re passionate about giving back to our community and supporting the next generation and this visit was a wonderful example of that in action. Thank you to Fountains High School for joining us – we hope to see you again soon!
