Transforming Local Businesses: Recent Shop Front Installations & A-Frame Projects

Here at NBNE, we’re passionate about helping local businesses stand out with high-quality, eye-catching signage that makes an impact. Over the past few weeks, we’ve had the pleasure of working with several fantastic clients across Northumberland on new shop front signage and A-frame displays – and we’re proud to show off the results!

✨ Shop Front Transformations

There’s nothing like fresh signage to breathe new life into a shop front. Whether it’s a new business looking to make a strong first impression or an established brand in need of a refresh, our team is here to deliver bold, professional designs that reflect each business’s unique identity.

Recent highlights include:

Vape, Alnwick – A bold green panel with their logo and a downlight - a modern look that really stands out against the building’s stonework. We also installed brightly coloured vinyls in keeping with their other stores across the country.
Clayport Jewellers, Alnwick – Traditional vinyl cut lettering on composite panels, paired with hanging signage and a new window sign to increase visibility from the street.
The Village Shop, Beadnell – A unique sign showcasing all that our beautiful coastline has to offer, it turned heads from day one!

Each installation is custom-made and fitted by our in-house team, ensuring quality craftsmanship and long-lasting durability – even in the unpredictable Northumberland weather!

🪧 A-Frame Signage for Maximum Curb Appeal

A-frames (also known as pavement signs) are a brilliant, low-cost way to attract foot traffic and advertise special offers, menus, or promotions. We’ve been busy producing A-frames for a variety of businesses including cafés and independent retailers.

What our customers love:

Custom branding to match their shop front
Interchangeable panels for changing offers or seasonal messages
Weatherproof build for reliable year-round use

We recently installed A-frames for:

Mean Bean Cafe in Alnwick – Allowing the new Mean Bean Cafe to stand out in a busy part of Alnwick
Ruby Tuesday, Alnwick – their logo and products in a contemporary design as well as a separate one as a Jellycat stockist
Copper Kettle Cafe, Bamburgh – A more traditional wooden A Frame to fit in with this very pretty Northumberland village
