You can’t have an award-winning business without having a top-notch team! The Sign Maker has grown beyond recognition compared to where we started over 20 years ago. What began as a favour for the family has become The Sign Maker business that you see today - built up by directors, Kate and Shaun Price while being grown and supported by their children and a growing team.
Our main workshops and offices are in converted farm buildings, and our aim is to make you a quality sign just the way you want it. Every sign is individually crafted, with care, by our team of sign makers. If you would like to hear more about our ethos, head over to our blog post - Why The Sign Maker or head over to our Caring For Our Countryside page. With the Sign Maker workshops tucked away in rural North Devon, we don’t often get the opportunity to meet many of our customers. However, given our love for our family-run business, we wanted to give you an opportunity to meet the team behind The Sign Maker so you can see just how we manage to produce our bespoke, high-quality, sustainable Signage.
Shaun Price Here's the boss - You won't find him in the office though! Aside from being a director of The Sign Maker, Shaun Price is one of our principal designers. In addition, Shaun is hands-on across the workshop, taking responsibility for lasered and engraved signs and CNC programming. Shaun ensures that our customers get the best signage from The Sign Maker. He does this by furthering his research of methods and material, to come out with quality results. |
Paul Weeks Paul Weeks is our senior carpenter at The Sign Maker. With wooden signage being one of our specialities, Paul is kept extremely busy day to day onsite!
