Cumbrian branding specialist Ast Signs is celebrating 20 years in business this month.
The company was set up by Mark Aston in 2002 and is now one of the UK’s leading branding specialists.

Ast’s Transport Branding team has long worked with the likes of M-Sport, Culina, Sunbelt Rentals, Sky, AO.com and the NHS.
Its signs and graphics team works with companies including Stihl, Rivus, The Motor Fuel Group, Laing O’Rourke and NTS Global and its Astaura Office Interiors team counts Barclays, Fabulosa, John Deere, Volvo and Britvic as clients.
Managing director Mark said: “I’m very proud of the company as it stands today. We’ve achieved a lot in our 20 years and our intention is to achieve even more in the years to come.”
