I am a self-employed Signwriter based in Swindon, I have been signwriting for a brewery for 5 years as well as other avenues including boats and vehicles. Now that I am self employed I am looking for a wider variety of work and new ventures. If you are looking for some signwriting or artwork please contact me whether through this site or I have attached my business card below if you would like to contact me directly. If you would like to see my work the following links are for my Facebook and Instagram pages which are my online portfolio: Facebook Page , Instagram Quotes are free and I am willing to travel so please do not be put off if you are a little ways away. I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards Sarah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zenataomm Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Perhaps once someone offering a service has permission to post their business that fact can be displayed alongside. Or maybe a watermark confirming it's acceptable could be placed over it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmelly Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Welcome Sarah. Just thought it might be worth a mention that many of us do not use Farcebook, instagroan or any other such forums. Do you have a website or other online presence as it may well help you ?

Thank you so much I really appreciate that Welcome to the Forum, I have looked at some of your work and it is good, I wish you all the best. You may not realise it, but the two best boat decorater/signwriters in the country are members of this forum, it may be worth your while to get to know them.

Yes Ive inadvertantly clicked onto some facebook items before but the stupid pop up asking to log on or join overwhelms the page all too often. Facebook is at last being seen for what it is and hopefuly their abuse of peoples privacy and disrespect of various laws is coming to the forefront. Such platforms make life very easy for criminals in many ways which is a shame as if it were set up and used properly it would have been beneficial to many. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightwatch Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Other signwriters are available. Personally never used a signwriter but the two mentioned above will be considered if ever I need to. Has Phil retired to Scooootland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure that he has fully retired, as he still decorates boats, and runs traditional boat painting courses, but he has been living in Scotland for something like the past ten years.

Yes I have noticed there are quite a few in the boating world and I appreciate that a lot of people would probably consider a more familiar name first ? but everyone started somewhere and I'm happy to say I have been doing this for almost 6 years now and I haven't had a complaint from a customer yet (touch wood ?) ?

We use the links sections less these days so it may just be this one section that behaves as it does. Daniel A lot of people seem to be having issues with my thread ? would you like me to redo it or place it somewhere else? I don't want to cause problems for people ?

I was singing the praises of the two respected professionals mentioned earlier, I was certainly not having ago at your incentive nature. I hope you 'get into' the boating world. The good signwriters are always busy. Another good signwriter will reduce the load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
