Southampton-based sign and graphics company, Extreme Signs Ltd, recently completed the installation of Chapter 8 chevron kits with the assistance of our team at Smith.

Chevron kits are a safety device used to improve the visibility of vehicles, particularly those who frequently stop by the side of busy or high-speed roads, such as construction, maintenance, or recovery vehicles. They’re easy to install and can be used on any type of vehicle. Chevron kits come in all sorts of shapes and sizes to suit specific needs and requirements.

Historically, Extreme Signs’ main service has been point-of-sale signage, with vehicle wrapping and fleet graphics as a supplementary business offering. However, due to a combination of the new car supply chain issues caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and Brexit, they’ve refocused their efforts to ensure their offerings in branding and fleet are of the highest quality and best value for money possible.

Tom Thorne, Director at Extreme Signs Ltd said, “Partnering with companies such as Smith in producing specialist elements has meant our reputation for quality materials and workmanship has grown exponentially since 2020.”

Extreme Signs’ client for this particular project was Encompass Surveys, who were in the process of replacing their fleet and employing new team members at the time. The opportunity arose to refresh their branding and Extreme Signs highlighted that their existing chevrons weren’t compliant with the most recent updates to regulations.

Tom Thorne went on to explain, “Whether our customers require chevrons from a compliance perspective, or just for the professional look, we will always recommend 3M Diamond Grade (Chapter 8) as it’s the best on market and provides the best long-term guarantees and results.”
