Reflecting on 2024: Sustainability, Success, and Signage Trends
It has been an exciting year for us at Glendining Signs. From reaching significant sustainability milestones to broadening our product offerings, we've made remarkable progress in serving construction signs and commercial signs across sectors.
This roundup celebrates key achievements, highlights our dedication to continuous improvement, and provides insights into the latest industry trends shaping the world of signage. Here are some of the main highlights that defined our journey in 2024:
1. Custom Sign Builder
We took customisation to a new level by launching the Glendining Signs Custom Sign Builder. This intuitive tool empowers construction and commercial professionals to design bespoke signage that meets their unique needs while aligning with industry standards.
Whether creating warning signs, mandatory safety signage, or specialised fire equipment markers, the Custom Sign Builder offers flexibility and compliance, allowing clients to create distinctive signs that effectively communicate and enhance site safety.
This tool is essential because effective signage not only ensures regulatory compliance but also fosters a safer work environment by clearly conveying important messages. Tailored signage can significantly reduce accidents and misunderstandings on site.
2. Carbon Neutral Status
Achieving Carbon Neutral Status this year was a significant milestone in our continued sustainability journey. We implemented strategic changes, including switching to eco-friendly materials like bubble board and enhancing our energy efficiency with LED printing technology. Additionally, we reduced emissions across our supply chain and invested in certified carbon offset programmes, such as supporting a hydroelectric power plant project.
This accomplishment highlights our commitment to environmental stewardship, ensuring our signage solutions are as responsible as they are impactful. It also reflects a growing demand from consumers and businesses for sustainable practices, positioning Glendining Signs as a leader in eco-friendly signage solutions.
3. Launch of the Trade Portal
To better serve our professional clients, we introduced the Glendining Signs Trade Portal, designed to streamline the purchasing process for businesses in the construction, retail, and commercial sectors. The portal offers a suite of benefits including exclusive discounts, customisable product options, and efficient bulk ordering capabilities. It also provides centralised control for managing multiple projects, advanced security features, and priority support, ensuring businesses can access high-quality signage solutions quickly and effectively.
A streamlined purchasing process empowers clients to focus on their core operations while enhancing their ability to manage multiple projects efficiently.
Expanding Our Product and Signage Range
Throughout the year, we continued to broaden our range of products, introducing innovative signage solutions that cater to diverse industry needs. We added more customisable options, making it easier for clients to create signs tailored to their specific requirements. Our expanded line now includes products suitable for various sectors—from construction safety signage to retail displays—while ensuring compliance with all relevant standards.
This ongoing commitment to enhancing our offerings ensures that clients can find signage solutions that support safety, communication, and brand visibility. In a competitive market, having access to diverse, high-quality signage products can set businesses apart and improve their overall branding and messaging efforts.

While 2024 was a year of significant achievements, it marks just the beginning of our journey toward even greater accomplishments. We remain dedicated to advancing our sustainable practices, expanding our product lines, and leveraging technology to make signage more accessible and impactful for our clients.
