Management at Sygnet Fabrications in Leicester have announced growth plans following its acquisition by Birmingham-based print and signage business Hollywood Monster.
Back in May the new owners said the acquisition meant the entire 25-strong workforce at Sygnet had been retained – and that the combined business had 65 employees and a turnover of £12 million, with the capability to print more than 160,000 sq ft of “high-quality, sustainable signage per day”.
The owners are now revitalising the company's operations, processes, and offerings and investing in local talent and apprenticeships to secure its future as a sign manufacturer. There has also been a rebrand.

“These apprenticeships will provide aspiring young individuals with a unique opportunity to learn from seasoned professionals while pursuing their studies at college.”
Sygnet Fabrications is also seeking people to join its team in positions such as built-up letter technicians, fabricators, project design managers and sales professionals.
