Challenges:

Multiple distribution centres with inconsistent signage and varied layouts

Need for strong, unified brand presence across all UK sites

High volumes of HGV and van activity requiring precise directional clarity

Complex operational routes that demanded intuitive decision-making

Requirement for durable, industrial-grade signage materials

Need for a strategy that could be applied consistently while respecting each site’s unique layout
Our Approach
We deployed two dedicated teams to accelerate progress and ensure accuracy across all sites. The first team focused on wayfinding strategy, surveying each centre, mapping traffic flows and identifying operational bottlenecks. The second team concentrated on brand implementation, ensuring signage design, placement and materials reflected Martin Brower’s global identity while remaining practical for busy logistics environments.
By combining strategic planning with brand-focused detail, we developed a cohesive signage family and a clear hierarchy that could be applied to every distribution centre. Throughout the process, both teams collaborated closely to maintain consistency and deliver the strongest possible user experience.

Results
The completed system produced immediate operational improvements. Drivers could locate bays, exits and facilities more quickly, pedestrian routes were clarified, and the overall visual consistency strengthened Martin Brower’s professional image. All sites were successfully completed within the agreed time frame, and the company praised the quality of the signage, the impact on day-to-day logistics, and the smooth delivery of the entire project.
More Corporate Wayfinding
Every project we deliver is rooted in how people actually think, move, and make decisions. The results speak for themselves! Clearer journeys, fewer questions, reduced stress, and environments that simply work better.
