OUR HISTORY
Ascot continues to expand operationally and achieve steady growth with new projects in UK, Ireland, Europe and beyond. In March 2022, we launched our new brand and website, carrying forward the increasingly recognised Ascot name and embodying the core values that we stand for – quality, integrity and attention to detail.
As the tide turns in the fight against the global pandemic, we continue to provide dedicated support and industry-leading service for our clients and projects across all sectors.
To support the NHS and local government services during the Covid-19 pandemic, we repurposed some of our production capabilities to manufacture large volumes of critical PPE products.
To increase capacity and efficiency, we expanded our production facilities.
To help facilitate steady growth and continue to build on strong performance, the organisation restructures from a Partnership to a Limited Company: Ascot Signs Ltd.
Steady growth and highly successful project delivery throughout the UK and Ireland continues thanks to a great team pulling together to achieve a strong performance at every level of the organisation.
The company continues to build a strong track record of highly satisfied clients, carrying forward the core values of quality and integrity.
In house Project Design team created, to provide our clients with a further value-added service.
