GTG Training
What is it
Design input, sign manufacture and installation across training sites in Glasgow, the Clyde and Wolverhampton to deliver a fresh visual update to this quality brand.

Project Scope
GTG delivers high quality apprenticeships within the automotive, transport and health and safety industries.
Acquired by the Arnold Clark Group in 2003 and having undergone a brand update, we were brought in to re-face three of GTG’s sites.
Working with its graphic designers to devise a suite of signs that were on brand, and that would work in situ across all their sites. Then, we set to work with the manufacture and install.
From start to finish all within the client’s four week window.

The Specifics
The client came to us with a very tight timeframe for this project: four weeks from start to finish.
But we’re not put off by a challenge and set to work designing the scheme, carrying out the structural calculations and manufacturing process.
GTG needed to achieve good visibility both in the day and at night, so we incorporated perforated Day-Night vinyls for the building fascia signs.
Traditional vinyls display the same colour and effect in both daylight and darkness, which can result in poor visuals at nighttime. By contrast, Day-Night vinyls give clear distinction between the sign’s appearance in the different light levels.
The GTG signs appear as a solid face during the day, presenting the company’s brand colours and logo clearly, and at night the internal illumination shines through, increasing visibility. The result is smart, professional and eye catching.
As well as these new fascia signs, we designed, manufactured and installed:
- Totems
- Site-wide directional signage
- Pole advertisement signs
- Car park signage

The Benefits
Our in-house design capabilities meant we could support GTG’s internal graphic designer, working collaboratively to devise a workable scheme that would be really impactful.
We stepped up to the challenge of a tight timeframe: we did all design work, structural calculations, groundworks, manufacture and installation on all three projects in less than four weeks.
The result is a standout, smart brand, which represents this quality training provider’s own approach and values. Top marks!
The quality of SPI's workmanship is truly commendable. The signage was not only visually stunning but durable and tailored to reflect our brand identity perfectly. Moreover, the timely execution of the project within the tight timescales further highlights their reliability and integrity. I highly recommend them, they are truly first class!
