Vehicle wrapping and graphics

A fleet that looks finished, not stuck on.

  • Vinyl-cut lettering and logos for a simpler sign-written vehicle.
  • High-visibility Chapter 8 chevrons for highway, utilities and HGV work.

Whether you need to attract more customers, look more professional, or simply stand out from the competition, our print solutions are designed to make your business noticed.

  • Interior, exterior, commercial and display signs.
  • Banners, flags, exhibition stands and promotional print.
  • 3D-printed and standoff letters, matched to the surface and setting.

Branded clothing and PPE

Logos that survive the wash.

Embroidery is the durable choice across a wide range of garments. Heat press is the better route when the artwork needs finer detail, imagery or higher resolution. PPE covers the site kit: hard hats through to non-slip steel toe caps.

  • Embroidery for polos, fleeces, caps and workwear.
  • Vinyl heat press where print detail matters.
  • Safety clothing supplied for the trades that need it.

Our Work

The jobs, not a logo wall.

The company

At South West Signs, our story began in 1972 when Richard Lawrence founded the business. What started as a local sign company has grown into a trusted family-owned workshop, still led today by Tony Lawrence, with his son Mark bringing fresh creative energy and design expertise as we move forward.

For more than five decades, we have stayed true to the values that shaped us from the beginning — quality, reliability, and genuine care for every customer. Family ownership has allowed us to keep that personal approach at the heart of everything we do, even as we have grown to serve clients nationwide.

From traditional signwriting to modern vehicle graphics and embroidered teamwear, we have evolved with the times and are now trusted by some of the biggest national names, brands and businesses — while remaining rooted in the craftsmanship and attention to detail that Richard started with. We invite you to be part of our continuing story, whether you’ve worked with us for years or are discovering South West Signs for the first time.
