Project Overview

Morgan Sindall Construction appointed Nuneaton Signs to deliver the full signage package for three new National Highways depots located in Strensham, Doxey and Bescot. The projects, procured through the SCAPE framework, involved the construction of new offices and workshops supporting Highway Officers and maintenance teams. Our long standing relationship with Morgan Sindall, combined with SCAPE’s commitment to working with Social Enterprises, positioned us as a trusted delivery partner for this multi-site programme.

Our Approach

Brand‑Compliant, Technical Signage Solutions

Using the National Highways brand guidelines, we developed a suite of compliant signage tailored to each building’s construction. This included a combination of flat‑cut lettering and built‑up letters, designed to work seamlessly with the architectural finishes.

Collaborative Planning & Safe Installation

We worked closely with individual site teams to sequence installations around other trades, ensuring efficient and safe delivery.

  • At Bescot, we adapted our original access strategy to avoid freshly laid surfacing, preventing disruption to the wider works programme.
  • At Bescot and Doxey, we engineered alternative fixing methods in collaboration with cladding subcontractors and manufacturers. This included structural verification of fixings by our engineer and the introduction of a suitable pattress at Bescot to ensure long‑term performance.

“That’s great — thank you for organising this so quickly. It’s massively appreciated!”

Social Value

As a Social Enterprise, we integrated meaningful social value into the delivery of these projects. Our interns assisted in producing photoluminescent signage, and elements of the sales process were supported by Beth Evans, our Business Admin Apprentice — helping develop real workplace skills through live project experience.

Why Nuneaton Signs?

These projects were secured through competitive tender, supported by our proven track record with Morgan Sindall in the Midlands. Our Social Enterprise status aligned strongly with SCAPE’s social value KPIs, making us an ideal partner to deliver high-quality signage while contributing measurable social impact.
