Rejuvenation of the news category across 7000 independent retailers nationwide.

A 2 year project to be completed in just 5 months from start to finish aiming at installing full signage to 1800 sites and projecting signs to a further 5200 sites across the UK.  The project was split between 6 suppliers.

Positives remit was:

Produce and install full signage for 575 sites in the midlands and north region of the UK
