Based in Hythe, Kent, Purple Frog Signs Ltd brings more than 26 years of industry experience to signage, graphics and print projects across Kent, London, Surrey, Sussex, Essex and the wider South East. Founded by Chris Wakelin and Louise Ferne, the team manages projects from initial brief and design through to manufacture, supply and installation.
Good design, sound specification and practical delivery belong in the same conversation.
Purple Frog Signs provides a more connected way to manage your organisation’s signage, graphics and print. From external and internal signage, wayfinding and vehicle graphics to brochures, leaflets and printed marketing materials, we bring design, manufacture, print, supply and installation together under one roof. This means your visual identity, practical requirements and technical specifications can be considered as part of the same joined-up service.
Working with one trusted supplier also makes maintaining a consistent brand much easier. Colours, artwork, materials and messaging can remain cohesive across signage, printed materials and other branded assets, while fewer handovers mean less duplicated work and fewer opportunities for details to be lost. Whether you arrive with finished artwork or simply a problem that needs solving, our team can help find the right solution and deliver it consistently.
We begin with what the sign or graphic needs to achieve. Who must notice it? From what direction and distance? Is it permanent, changeable or campaign-based? Will it be exposed to weather, cleaning, impact or heavy footfall? How will it be fixed, accessed and maintained?
Those questions influence typography, contrast, scale, materials, construction and installation. Considering them early produces a better result and reduces avoidable surprises later.
We consider product lifespan, material use, packaging and delivery when recommending a specification. We use our fully electric Volkswagen ID. Buzz for suitable deliveries and site visits, use recycled packaging, and help clients consider material choices that fit the application and expected lifespan.
Chris leads operations, production planning and installation. His role is to turn an approved design into a safe, workable and well-finished result, accounting for materials, manufacture, access, fixings and the realities of the site.
Louise leads creative direction, brand application, content and the client-facing visual experience. She helps translate a brief into clear, attractive communication that feels consistent across signs, graphics and print.
Harrison supports the manufacture, preparation and installation of signage and graphics, helping projects move accurately from the workshop to the finished site.
Fin is developing practical skills across signage production and installation while supporting the team’s day-to-day project delivery.
