COMPANY Update
Mida Sign Services celebrates 25 years
Mida Sign Services UK Ltd, is a nationwide
installer for all types of signage, graphics and
banners and this year is celebrating 25 years in
the business.
The company was formed in January 1984, initially
as a partnership but has now grown from it early days,
and offers clients various types of installation services
for signage, graphic and promotional items.
Mike Smith, managing director said: “We don’t
just install signs, as our company name implies, our
work has now become extremely varied, especially
with digital print and graphics, which we install onto
glazing, floors, walls and vehicles etc. We also install
banners from large one offs, to promotional roll out
programs nationwide.”
Mike explains how things have changed over the
years and safety issues have become even more
important. For example, site work requires risk
assessments and method statements, engineers have
to be qualified and have CSCS, IPAF, PASMA and
First Aid training. Mida Sign Services has gained the
accreditation of approved safe contractor for health
and safety standards, as well as being members
of the British Sign and Graphics Association.

LED illuminated individual letters.
Mike continues: “On the signage side we install a lot of large
illuminated flex face signage and built up internally illuminated letters
with LED. We don’t seem to get much call for neon but that’s not
to say we can’t install or maintain it, just that LED seems to be
taking over as vinyl and digital print has taken over sign writing.
“We have also over the years completed contracts in Europe,
which is challenging to say the least. Last year we completed an
18 branch rebrand in Germany, which included initial site surveys,
signage proposals and complete installation.
