Hi, I am Neil Ridley - thank you for visiting my website. I offer a signage service on the central south coast to the trade from my base in Eastleigh, just outside of Southampton.
I started my working life with Pearce Signs in 1990 after leaving college as a management trainee at their Southampton regional office, eventually becoming the administration manager. This involved running the activities of various Hampshire/Sussex/Kent based engineer crews, all new sign work procurement and the installation/maintenance for the Pearce Group in the Wessex area. This culminated in me project managing the internal and external signage scheme for the West Quay Shopping Centre in Southampton in the summer of 2000
I then moved on to Appleton Signs in Hedge End, Southampton and was responsible for the implementation of new signage for their main account customer, involving 60 full revamps and new stores each year, as well as ad hoc customers.
I returned to Pearce Signs in 2017 as a project manager, being their only South based PM, running a number of national accounts as well as ad-hoc jobs. Due to my location I very often assisted in surveys in the South of England.
A summary of my career and some of the jobs I have managed are below, along with the services I can provide.
February 2017 - June 2024 -
Pearce signs Ltd - Project Manager
April 2001 - February 2017 -
Appleton Signs Ltd - Account/Project Manager
July 1990 - April 2001 -
Pearce Signs Wessex - Trainee/Administration Manager
Having been a Project Manager for many years, I know the demands and short lead times your customers place on you and the need for quality information as quickly as possible to get your project underway.
There is also a growing need for supervision of installation work to ensure your crews are doing what they should be, and any trouble shooting and customer liaison is taken care of - allowing them to concentrate on getting the job done.
In addition, I have done many site scope visits/meetings and for businesses in the North of the UK it may be more convenient and cost effective for me to attend on your behalf instead of sending staff out of the office for a whole day, allowing them to stay on top of their projects. I am happy to meet with your customers and take all project dates and details.
To this end, I can offer the following services:
- Site surveys - full signage details with photographs
- Site supervision for installation work
- Scope visits for new projects
- Health and safety spot checks
- Completed installation audits
I cover the counties of Berkshire, Dorset, Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex and Wiltshire but am happy to visit other areas on request.
Confidentiality is assured, I will work as a member of your team and can wear your branded workwear if required.
I am fully insured for both public liability and professional indemnity and have full PPE.
