The company’s’ submission detailed at length the business’ flair for creativity, experience with traditional hand painted pieces, and talent for what it perceives is a dying art.

We absolutely love what we do, especially when we have the chance to really showcase our skills in a creative environment, and give the customer something unique and bespoke.

“The Penny Black’s project was the perfect canvas for us, to not only do what we do best, which is deliver stand-out signage, but it also showcases our interior bespoke wall art service, which is becoming rather fashionable with interior designers.
