It is safe to say that is the standard for the industry today, it is a versatile and pliant metal that when combined with heavy-duty plastics, create a great signage composite.

As well as the flexibility of the material, are a great substrate to place onto, as you can see here in the picture.

Company Image – Uniforms

2007 May 18

How do you know a postman when you see one? Simple – he’s wearing an easily recognizable uniform!

The same goes for FedEx personnel in uniform, McDonald’s workers (or any fast-food workers for that matter), and so on. The company image as a whole includes the individual worker, which comes down to how (s)he looks, i.e., their uniform.

So our question really is – do uniforms really make that much of a difference? What is YOUR opinion on this? Why don’t you vote?

Other companies that have uniforms, and who have blogged about it, or employees have blogged about it: The Life of a Greenhouse Grower, Content for Reprint (who talks about making stupid mistakes while wearing a company uniform – how true – an employee is representative of the company after all), IAOCBlog has an article about now taking pictures of yourself wearing a company uniform then blogging (nastily) about the company – it might get you fired, Debt B Gone mentions reclaiming money (£45, UK) for washing company clothes – up to 6 years back.

All in all a lot of the writing about company uniforms in blogs, or online, seems to be mostly minimal, or things you shouldn’t do when wearing one. A lot of that is common sense. Why take pictures of yourself doing something stupid in a company uniform – that’s asking for trouble.

There’s also the recent legal issues regarding the wearing of holy symbols such as crosses, or wearing hijabs (re: British Airways).

Company Image – Workplace

2007 May 8

Would you rather work in a nice clean environment, or a murky dirty one?

The answer to that seems pretty obvious really – most of us would like to work in a clean workplace. But cleanliness isn’t all of the picture, what about the environment around the workplace?

GRS Sign Company Ltd., would like to draw customer’s attention to the surroundings – a lot of time and effort has been spent on making the whole GRS building look pleasant, which also includes the landscape gardening.

The trees are starting to show their foliage, the bushes look good and are starting to spread out a bit, and the grass seed has taken root and a nice patch of grass has sprung up around the building. Not to mention the clean tarmac and the large amounts of stones that are included in the positioning of trees and shrubs.

The new neighbour nextdoor to us mentioned the other day that they wish their other neighbour were as clean and presentable as we were. What a nice thing to say!

Council Recycling Signs

It’s a fact that we are moving towards a recycling society as our (ancient) way of disposing of household waste is evolving. It used to be that we had one bin, we threw everything in it, and the council took care of it, doing whatever they did to it. That usually meant a landfill site, minimal recycling, if any, or wherever rubbish ends up.

That has changed though as we are now more environmentally aware, mandated by Government of course, but we are at least trying to make an effort and be more like our conscious European cousins (take the German recycling effort as an example there). Wonder if they do fortnightly collections though?

What’s our part in this grand master plan? Well we’ve recently finished printing off a large run of signs for the local rubbish trucks, to go onto their sides. As you see from the picture, they’re hard to miss, and remind us of what our recycling efforts can mean.

The sign itself, technically speaking, is an ; the facing is .
