Blaze Maintenance and Signscope Awarded ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001

Following an assessment by QMS, an independent body, Blaze Maintenance Limited and Signscope Limited have been awarded ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certification.  This certification for all three awards has only been achieved by less than 1% of UK businesses.  Both the foregoing companies are wholly owned subsidiaries of Blaze Group Holdings Limited and for two companies in the same group to be credited with all three awards at the same time is virtually unknown.  These are prestigious awards which are recognised worldwide and we are very pleased to be able to announce our accreditation.

We have always been proud of the service we offer to our clients and the way in which we conduct our business in regards to our environmental, health and safety matters and the quality of the service and product that we provide.  Now with the awards of these ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 180001 certificates, this has been confirmed by outside experts who are used to judging standards on a daily basis on a wide variety of trades and industries.

Restaurant and Bar Design Awards :: Galvin La Chappelle - Best Restaurant WINNER

Setting out to create an award winning restaurant is no mean feat; great food, an achingly cool interior with attentive staff, and then there’s the brand identity. Signage has evolved a long way from the brass plaque outside the door, and there’s a huge range of technologies that can be applied to create a sophisticated message that conveys the brand identity and values.

In the 2010 Restaurant and Bar Design Awards, the winner Galvin La Chappelle features signage by SIGNSCOPE. The signmakers were selected by Main Contractor French Group, working in conjunction with Design LSM to bring the outline design to reality.

On the exterior, fret cut steel defines the sweeping stokes of the La Chappelle identity against the brickwork facade, the toughness of the material creating a powerful statement of what lies within. The 19th Century Grade II listed building is maintained largely open-plan and the glazed screens have been decorated with etched pattern and corporate identity – the superb lighting scheme creating an elegant and subtle brand message.

Choosing the most appropriate signage technology, whether internally illuminated or not requires sensitivity and creativity, as well as understanding of materials suitable for a scaleable identity. With an extensive knowledge of low energy lighting, and fabrication of all modern materials, SIGNSCOPE offer interior designers a free of charge consultancy service to develop outstanding visual branding solutions to ensure your next project is an award winner!

Award winning projects

There’s nothing like being associated with successful projects and the LEVI’S on Regent Street which won the ‘Retail Interiors Award - Fashion Retail Interior of the Year 2010’ and ‘best VM Solution of the Year’ is a great example of our brand identification workmanship. From the exterior on Regent Street the shopfront signage which was prototyped, manufactured and installed by Signscope is pretty much all that identifies the entrance to this extraordinary store.

“The Levi’s flagship interior on Regent Street, created by Checkland Kindleysides, was a worthy winner for its ability to present the brand’s heritage in an appealing and relevant manner” John Ryan writes in Retail Week

The store has also won Outstanding New Store in the WGSN Global Fashion Awards in New York, and a host of other top awards...

Step inside the entrance lobby – 80 sq m of some of the most expensive retail space in the world – and discover that it’s not used to display garments, but as an exhibition space for product collaborations and art exhibitions.

Make sure you visit this extraordinary store, and get a helping of some real retail therapy.... or see more pictures of the store here

Always do a good job, because your last customer is your next customer…

 Having earned our stripes with POUNDLAND, we’ve also been involved in the development, prototyping and installation of the new stores for the HUB, the new retail format introduced by entrepreneur David Dodds.
