Manchester Signs was first founded in 1988 and has evolved into one of the area’s most respected sign production specialists. The company was originally known as Bob Rutter Signs before changing its name to Manchester Signs in 1990. At this stage, the company was still quite small, with most of the work consisting of creating vehicle graphics and small signs. It didn’t take long before the company started to grow and requests for larger signs became more frequent. Manchester Signs relocated to a small unit in Moston, but this also proved too small for their needs. Eventually, Manchester Signs settled on its current location in Failsworth, Manchester. In this setting the company has expanded its turnover and its capabilities alongside an ever going list of satisfied customers, some of whom have been with Manchester Signs from the very start.
