Lucy Kehoe Signmaster Systems
Lucy Kehoe
Managing Director

Hello! I am one of the owners of Signmaster Systems, alongside my partner in crime, Samantha Kehoe. We purchased the business back in May 2017 and have been hard at it every day since. If you are a long standing customer of Signmaster (many thanks) you will have noticed a few changes since the change of management….. What with a new brand, new product range and now even new building – things have progressed well! If you are new to us, then welcome and thanks for coming on-board with us! One of the advantages Sam & I bring is that we were printers before and so understand the position you find yourself in when ink & media deliveries go wrong or the printer is down and so we continue to do everything possible to ensure our customer service is of the highest standard.

Samantha Kehoe
Director

I am a director of Signmaster. I predominately work behind the scenes on strategies to keep our business moving forward.  Having being a printer myself, I am passionate about the industry, and enjoy spending time in our Showroom, using the exciting range of printers and finishing kit that we have available.

My main motivation and passion in this business is to provide our customers with quality products and care. Supporting them and their business to achieve their full potential.

Jay Fleming
Sales Director

Jay is the Sales Director at Signmaster Systems and has been here for almost 12 years now.

Jay manages our hardware and consumables department and has built a very successful team that pride themselves on delivering excellent service and consultation to our customers, ensuring that they find the right solution for their business.

“I have been at Signmaster for some time now and although we have always been a leading dealer, the real turning point for Signmaster was when Sam and Lucy bought the company back in 2017. It was a very exciting time and there was a real injection of energy into the company with a definite enthusiasm to elevate Signmaster to become the UK’s number one dealer of wide format and UV solutions. Investing heavily into the company to facilitate growth, head hunting specialists to amplify our teams, building a new website, re-branding, expanding our product offers and most recently building a newer larger home for Signmaster.

It’s not often that you can say that you enjoy your job, but I genuinely do and the team here at Signmaster are very much like a family unit. It’s a brilliant environment to work in and we have a fantastic culture here at HQ. Combine that with having a team that you can be proud of and you can see why I am so happy here. “
