commercial signage
whether we’re working on a huge sign for the side of your warehouse or installing an illuminated sign, we know how important it is that your business looks great.
Commercial signage that gets you seen
Are you at a loss as to why people pass by your office without a second glance? Is it difficult to see your business sign in a sea of commercial units on an industrial estate? Do you need a sign maker to take your ideas and use their expertise to produce a business sign that will get you noticed? Then you’ve come to the right place!
This is where the skills of the Motive Graphics sign makers can come into their own. We combine experience and knowledge to create custom-made signs for interior and exterior signage to create a seamless and cohesive brand for your business.
A combination of exterior, illuminated, wayfinding signs and window graphics can transform your premises, from small to multisite, from boutique cafes to large industrial warehouses. Good commercial signage will give you more visibility and point anyone walking or driving to your business. We can make any sign, any size to ensure your business is seen by the people who matter

Custom sign makers specialising in industrial unit and large business signs
Whether you have one site or several sites that require commercial signage; getting the right business sign that reflects your business and that can be seen by your visitors, staff and delivery drivers while meeting your budget can feel like a huge task.
As expert signage makers, we navigate you through external building signage options (of which there are many) and give you the pros and cons of each, so that you can be confident in the decision you make. Ultimately, our goal is that you end up with quality, long-lasting signage that looks fantastic.
Last year we designed and installed over 1,500 signs on warehouses, office buildings and shops across the East of England. Customers often asked if they needed planning permission.
Our essential guide includes everything you need to consider before embarking on a commercial signage project.
Directional signage and wayfinding signs
Guide visitors in or around your site with directional signage and eye-catching wayfinding signs. Perfect to avoid visitors getting lost or helping them to keep to one-way systems in and around your site.
Hoardings
When you plan to transform a site and have exciting plans in progress, creative on-brand hoardings can help tell a story and give a sneak peek of what’s to come. Our team has worked on hoardings for residential, commercial and industrial sites, bringing new developments to life.
Illuminated signs
Add an illuminated sign to your business or warehouse to make your business stand out 24/7! While your competition is missing out, your business can be a shining example of advertising when the sun goes down. Illuminated signage is a must for any business that has customers or visitors that will be arriving during the hours of darkness, which is particularly useful during the winter months.

Breathe a new lease of life into your office with custom signage and graphics
Looking to refresh your interior and exterior building signage at the same time? Breathe a new lease of life into your office environment with graphics and creative signage that reflect your brand and create a warm and welcoming experience for guests. There are lots of ways this can be achieved with the help of our creative team. Popular choices include:
Window graphics
Modern offices and shops often have a lot of glass whether it be on your shop front, meeting rooms or as dividing walls and provide key real estate to make use of.
Window space is a great way to advertise promotions through window graphics and stickers. If you want to add privacy, window frosting can be used to do this whilst adding branding.
Interior illuminated signs
With smart technology and energy-efficient LEDs, illuminated interior signs have become increasingly popular with the added benefit of being very instagrammable! From cool staff breakout areas to your reception, coloured interior illuminated signage can complement your brand and bring your logo and company values to life. If you’re not able to have externally illuminated signage, interior signage in the right position is also a great way to navigate visitors to you.
We make sure your shop sign is too tempting to walk past
If you’ve launched a new product range, temporary window graphics are a great way to advertise to your customers.
If you’re a restaurant, windows can be a great space to add menus, posters and imagery to entice customers in.
Our creative team apply their exhibitions stand experience, to create head-turning graphics that will elevate your brand and bring your values to life.
Illuminated projecting signs can be added to help make the ultimate shop front, and are great when paired with illuminated signage.
If you’re restricted and can’t make use of a projecting sign, pavement signs or a-boards can be a great alternative with the added benefit of being able to move them in and out, or to a different location when required.
How do we work?
site survey
Sounds official, but this is a critical part of the project process.
As part of our site survey, we’ll work with you to understand what you are looking to achieve, who comes to the site, any challenges you’ve faced with your business signs, equipment we’ll need to bring for the installation and any technical work that might need to happen prior to or during the installation.
From the site survey, we can establish the next steps and a follow up with a final quote.

faqs
How quickly can you install our signs or graphics?
How quickly we can install your signs or graphics and how long it will take depend on:
- When we can have access to the site for installation
- How big/ complex the signs and/or graphics are
When we come to your site to undertake the survey, we will be able to give you a much better idea on timings and process.
Can you install out of hours?
Absolutely! We will work around you, to ensure we install at a time that is most convenient for the venue and venue management.
We will plan our installation to minimise the disruption on-site, installation at the weekend or out-of-hours may be more appropriate. We are always happy to discuss what will work best for you.
Who provides the specialist access and installation equipment?
We do. If we need specialist equipment to undertake the installation, then we will provide it. We will work with your site health and safety representative to organise access.
