Industry Recognition: Widd Hits The News Across Trade Media
Seeing that Widd hits the news highlights our ongoing commitment to design innovation, heritage signwriting, and precision manufacturing. As trade publications spotlight our latest commercial installations across the UK, we continue to demonstrate how high-specification architectural fascias, retail rollouts, and custom illumination elevate commercial properties.
130 Years of Signmaking Heritage and Engineering Excellence
We’re delighted that we’ve been featured this month in two leading trade magazines, Interior Contracting and Design and Building Design and Construction magazine.
Our signage projects for top retailers are included in the two features with Building Design and Constructing magazine running a special feature on our long-standing client Marks and Spencer.
Did you know that M&S dates back to 1884 with its first base in Leeds, whilst Widd started in Bradford just four years later in 1888 so it makes sense that our two businesses collaborate even over 100 years later!
Check out our work for M&S in the July edition of Building Design and Constructing magazine on pages 52 and 53 at https://bdcmagazine.com/.
