This week, leading provider of signage for public and open spaces, Fitzpatrick Woolmer, announced the launch of their latest pedestrian wayfinding innovation - dCipher™.

Designed specifically with towns and cities in mind, dCipher™ is hailed as an affordable, modern wayfinding system offering the perfect balance of durability, functionality, design and price.

Developed as a tool to enhance urban space visitor orientation and navigation - dCipher™ is accredited with helping to improve people flow and increase footfall to key areas such as retail and leisure.

Fitzpatrick Woolmer Managing Director Mark Woolmer commented: “Attracting and retaining visitors is an important factor in the economic success of any town or city. Signage schemes such as dCipher™ help visitors to orientate and navigate better, leading to an enhanced visitor experience. The better the experience the more likely visitors are to return, all the time helping to boost the local economy.”

Made from highly durable stainless steel and featuring interchangeable information slats, vandal resistant information panels and tamper resistant fixings - dCipher™ offers excellent durability. The dCipher™ range is a welcome addition to our existing product portfolio and the first of several exciting new product innovations.”
