Last month, we excitedly opened the doors to our Barnard Castle headquarters, welcoming trade professionals in the sign and graphics industry, from across the UK.

Offering the opportunity to find out more about what we do, including meeting some of our key suppliers and providing further insight into our two new divisions, Architextural™ and Smith, over 120 customers embraced the day with open arms.

The event saw live demonstrations by industry experts and seminars on products that could provide new revenue streams for clients.

We were also delighted to unveil our new Inspiration Centre; a training facility offering courses and learning opportunities to customers.

Not wanting to disappoint, we made sure our guests were treated well; ensuring they all had full stomachs by the time they left. On the menu? Beef dripping fish and chips, and yes, they really were as good as they sound…

To end our fourth open day on a high, here’s just some of the great feedback we received on the day. And you never know, it may even have you counting down the days until we open our doors again.

“I have to say I had a brilliant day. As soon as you walk through the door, there is a real family business feel and it was complimented even more when everyone I spoke to was full of enthusiasm and knowledge of the process and products. I was made to feel very welcome.” – Mark Stead, Paul Vaines Engineering Services.

It was great to be able to talk to a range of manufactures regarding the various films that are on the market currently. Thank you once again to the whole team for organising a great event.- Kev Gelsinan, APM Custom.

So, from all of us, at the William Smith Group 1832, we’d like to say thank you to everyone who attended.
