Fastsigns Sheffield has marked 30 years of business through a special celebration evening.
The event, held on 24 July, allowed for customers, colleagues, suppliers and partners to look back on the past three decades, filled with local partnerships, visual innovation and community collaboration. The celebration took place at the centre on Old Station Drive, with approximately 30 guests attending.
The event also celebrated the one-year anniversary of the Sheffield centre being taken over by director Martin Slater, who has played a key role in guiding the business into a new phase of growth.
He said, one of the main highlights of the celebration was hearing from longstanding Fastsigns customers, who spoke of the team’s strong commitment to quality, personal service and the dependability of the centre to deliver every time, from urgent one-off jobs to long-term rebrands.
“Reaching 30 years is a huge achievement and a real reflection of the team’s hard work, quality and consistency over the decades,” said Slater.
“It was fantastic to celebrate this milestone with so many of our customers, partners and colleagues; people who have supported the business and been part of its journey. Including many of the community who have warmly welcomed me into the centre over the last year.”
He added: “Since taking on the role, I’ve been proud to build on the foundations laid out by previous owners Garth and Paul Allison, working alongside an incredibly dedicated team who care deeply about delivering great work for local businesses. From designers and production specialists to customer service and installation experts, it’s very much a team effort.
“As we look to the future, our focus is on innovation, continued investment and working even more closely with Sheffield business community. We’re excited about what’s next.”
John Davies, managing director at Fastsigns UK, added: “Sheffield has long been one of our flagship centres and reaching 30 years is a remarkable achievement – one that the whole team, past and present, should be proud of.”
“What’s made this possible is the team’s consistent commitment to customer service and their deep connection with the local business community. Under Martin’s recent leadership, the centre has continued to evolve with fresh ideas and energy, and we’re excited to see how they will grow and thrive over the next few decades.”
Recent projects at the centre feature rebranding work for Play Padel, signage for Molly Limpets and displays for Styr Bistro and Greencore. The business uses Epson printers and currently eight staff work at the Sheffield centre.
