About G.E.S.S

As a leading sign installation company with over 24 years of global experience, we specialise in installing a wide array of signs and banners. Our expertise encompasses all types of signage installations, from street-level signs to high-altitude building wraps and other creative displays, positioning us as the industry leader in banner and sign installation.

Throughout our extensive history, we have successfully managed a diverse range of projects, many of which have set new benchmarks in the media and sign installation industry. Our work includes the development of bespoke installation systems and innovative fixing methods, tailored in collaboration with our structural engineers. These systems enable us to securely install massive PVC and mesh banners, often spanning thousands of square metres, on various structures such as scaffolding, steel frameworks, brick, stonework buildings, and open spaces, all while withstanding high wind exposure from multiple directions.
