What did we do in 2024? As we look into the festive season and approach the end of 2024, we thought we’d take a moment to reflect on this year, and a roller coaster of a year we’ve had! From upgrading our machinery to climbing Mt Olympus. 2024 has been quite the year for Stocksigns! Let’s look back on the year with us!
Since upgrading our printer to the Impala 4 last year, we have continued to replace our old equipment with new, more energy-efficient models. In March we replaced our existing cutter with the Zund Cutter installed into our Digital Studio. In July we upgraded our HP 800 Latex Printer. A High-quality roll feed printer capable of printing 100 metres of high-quality imagery.
It’s not just our digital design studio that has benefited from new shiny machinery, we have been installing more energy-efficient technologies throughout our business, reducing energy costs whilst maintaining, if not improving, both our quality and output. This year our energy usage for Quarter 1 2024 had dropped around 40% in comparison to Quarter 1 2023.
Sustainability sits at the heart of everything that we do! Every progressive step must be a step towards lowering our carbon footprint and making a positive impact on the environment. Upgrading our equipment is helping us get one step closer to our goal of becoming Net Zero by 2030!
Stocksigns vision is To be a great place to work where we deliver our customers an exceptional personal service. We always love hearing what our customers think of our exceptional personal service and this year have become part of Ecologi.
So, for every Trustpilot Review good or bad, we pay for a tree to be planted as part of Ecologi’s reforestation projects.
Some of our customers even shared their experiences with us in the form of a case study!
Stocksigns was contacted by Johnsons Controls (JCI) to provide a large number of noticeboards and banners to promote JCI Green credentials and create sustainable signs for the company.
General Maintenance
Stocksigns provided new Wayfinding signage to General Maintenance, a property maintenance company, for a London apartment complex
Stocksigns has renewed its contract with Murphy, one of the UK’S leading civil engineering and construction companies to supply site signage.
A key pillar of Stocksigns is our CSR policy, which demonstrates our commitment to sustainable practices and helping to reduce our carbon emissions. In September we achieved Gold with the Supply Chain Sustainability School.
By utilizing the school’s resources available on its website, we were able to develop a training plan for the team.
Our Managing Director Danny Adamson Said: “Achieving gold level membership from the SCSS has been a crucial step. Introducing operational and procedural changes are all very well, but we also need employee awareness and engagement to have a real, lasting impact. The resources available through the SCSS have really helped us to educate and train employees across our teams”
Here at Stocksigns, we understand the value of giving back. This year we have taken part in quarterly volunteering, an internal bake-off, creating signage.

By far our biggest challenge this year was climbing a 9500ft mountain for our charity partner The Children’s Trust. At the end of June Stocksigns and some of our friends climbed Mt Olympus otherwise known as ‘The Home of Gods’ in Greece!
This was a 2-day trek where the team headed to the summit and back down again. The team stayed overnight at 8,800ft in a mountain hut and took on the summit on day 2.
The final ascent to the summit is was where it got really tricky, we had to use harnesses and helmets to take on the Class III YSD graded ascent to the top.
Every Year the Trust supports thousands of children and their families across the UK, providing rehabilitation as well as a range of specialist care, education, and therapy for children and young people to make the best recovery after a serious illness or accident.
We are so pleased and proud to share with you that our climb up Olympus has raised over £17,000. Thank you all that donating!
So we’ve been busy! This year has been an adventure, focused on innovation and progression. We wonder what next year will bring? We can’t wait to share our journey with you next year.
