About Us

Fitzpatrick Woolmer is a specialist in all types of signage and wayfinding. Established in 1995, it’s growing to become the leading UK signage producer for a vast array of businesses, public sector organisations and private landowners.

We focus on creative solutions and bespoke signage adapted to your site, property or location and with exacting attention to detail, from the shape and placement of your signage to crafting on-brand lettering, illustrations and mapping to add value to your visitors.

Our accomplished in-house team develops innovative ideas for park furniture, notice boards, interpretation displays, wayfinding and orientation panels, blending knowledge, expertise and creativity to manufacture tailored signs designed for durability and visual impact.

Every signage model we produce is crafted in our fully equipped workshop, with designs and graphics created within the Fitzpatrick Woolmer studio, bringing together all the talents of our team to deliver a seamless end-to-end service. Additional services such as full installation mean our clients trust us to deal with every aspect, from initial design ideas to final delivery and signage erection.

Over the years, we have been delighted to work on thousands of projects from our hubs in Rochester, Kent and Wales, working with valued clients such as The National Trust and The Wildlife Trust to produce sustainable, exceptional-quality signs and immersive visitor experiences.
