St. Wilfrid’s Catholic High School
For the past 20 years, FASTSIGNS® Leeds has worked with local Leeds school St Wilfrid’s Catholic High School, providing them with interior and exterior signs for their school and grounds.
FASTSIGNS® Leeds Director, Andy Simpson, went to the school 1981-1988 and his father and Co-Director, Chris Simpson, was on the chair of governors during the early 1990s.
St Wilfrid’s were FASTSIGNS® Leeds’ first ever client, back when we installed an entrance sign for the sixth form Centre in 1995. We are still supplying the school with signs and graphics in 2017.
The Challenge
St Wilfrid’s have needed a range of exterior signs over the years.
To help them increase the visibility of the school from the road and make a good impression on the local area we have provided external signs including; school entrance signs; block names signs; directional finger posts; banners; and memorial plaques.
We’ve also helped the school to create an inspiring learning environment by providing internal signs and graphics including; wallpaper and vinyl wall wraps; department signs; window graphics; canteen signs and graphics.
The Results
On almost every project, we have been involved from the very start, advising the school as to which products best suit their objectives, as well as providing visuals and designs. We have also come in at a later stage to help with last minute, time-sensitive projects.
St Wilfrid’s are our longest standing client and we are always on hand whenever they need us to provide fantastic visual solutions that fit within their budget.
Assistant Business Manager at St Wilfrid’s Catholic High School, Kevin Walsh, said: ‘FASTSIGNS® Leeds are always professional. They meet deadlines, listen and develop your ideas into something which truly suits your needs. They provide good clean design work and deliver it quickly, if that’s what is needed.
‘The team are willing to work creatively with you to ensure that an effective message is in place. FASTSIGNS® Leeds always have a great personal response; a very high level of product quality; and yes, they are true to their word when you need them to provide signs, fast!’
FASTSIGNS® Leeds' Director, Andy Simpson, said: ‘It has been great to work with a client for so long and see the school’s continued progression into a wonderful learning environment, knowing we have played a small part in the progress.’
