Professional Signage for Leicester Businesses
We work with businesses across different industries in Leicester, including retail, healthcare, education, manufacturing and commercial environments.
Our team can design, manufacture and install signage for a range of buildings, from individual premises to larger, multi-element projects.
Exterior Signage
Good exterior signage should make your business easy to find and give visitors a clear sense of who you are before they walk through the door.
Hardy Signs manufactures a wide range of professional external signage, including fascia signs, hoarding, totems, directional signage and large external branding.
Interior Signage
Interior signage can help to improve navigation and create a consistent experience throughout your premises.
We design and manufacture reception signs, wall graphics, branded displays and internal wayfinding for businesses across Leicester, all designed around how the space is actually used.
Illuminated Signage
Illuminated signage can help your business stay visible during the evening and in lower-light areas.
Options include backlit panels, illuminated lettering and LED displays. Energy-efficient options are available, and our in-house team can also provide ongoing maintenance where needed.
Digital Displays
Digital signage gives you a flexible way to share information and update content without replacing a physical sign.
Depending on the setting, this might include information kiosks, freestanding screens, digital menu boards or visitor management systems. We’ll help you choose an option that makes sense for the space and the people using it.
Health and Safety Signage
We provide clear, compliant health and safety signage for workplaces across Leicester.
This can include fire safety signs, first aid signage, warning signs and mandatory notices. We can also carry out a site survey where needed to get a clearer picture of what signage is needed and where it needs to go.
Large Format Graphics
Large format graphics can be used on walls, windows and other surfaces to display branding, campaigns or important information at scale.
We plan the graphics around the available space and how they will be viewed, including factors such as footfall, viewing distance and lighting.
Wayfinding Signage
Clear directional signage makes it easier for people to find their way around larger sites. This type of signage works well across offices, schools, healthcare environments, supermarkets, retail developments and industrial premises.

Experienced Signage Specialists
Hardy Signs was founded in 1993 and has worked on commercial signage projects across a wide range of sectors ever since.
Our team includes skilled designers, experienced sign fitters and senior account managers. They work closely with clients to understand what is needed and make sure nothing gets lost between one stage and the next.
Complete Project Management
We manage projects from concept to completion, so you don’t need to coordinate several different suppliers. Our team will get to know the site, discuss what you want the signage to achieve and then manage the design, manufacture and installation.
Built to Last
All of our signage is manufactured in-house using specialist equipment. Materials and finishes are chosen to suit the job, and every project is checked carefully throughout production before it leaves our premises.
Supporting Businesses Across Leicestershire
From our base in Burton-on-Trent, we work with businesses across Leicester and the wider Leicestershire area. We support everything from individual signage updates to larger site-wide projects.
From Concept to Completion: 5 Steps
01
Discovery and Consultation
We start by finding out what you need the signage to do and any practical considerations, such as how exposed it will be. We then develop the initial concepts and arrange a site survey where required.
02
Creative Design
Our design team turns those ideas into something that will work in practice. We’ll look at your existing branding and recommend suitable materials, finishes and lighting where relevant.
03
Manufacturing
Once the designs are signed off by you, we build your signage at our own manufacturing facility. We carry out fabrication, metalwork, acrylic cutting, digital printing and LED integration.
04
Installation
Our installation team then plans the work around your site and day-to-day operations. Where needed, we carry out a site survey and prepare the relevant installation and health and safety documentation, including RAMS.
05
Maintenance and Aftercare
Maintenance and aftercare are available for repairs, updates and replacement signage where required, helping keep everything safe and looking presentable over time.
