Gleeson Homes: A Smarter Approach to Housing Development Signage Nationwide

Since November 2024, Studio One Media Centre has partnered with Gleeson Homes to deliver a fully centralised signage management solution across the UK housing and construction sector.

A centralised signage provider

Following the consolidation of procurement from multiple regional suppliers, Gleeson required a more efficient, scalable, and consistent approach to managing signage across its national network of developments. Studio One’s technology-led signage solution combined a fully integrated MIS platform, secure online ordering portal, in-house large-format print production, and dedicated survey and installation teams — creating a streamlined end-to-end signage management system for residential developments nationwide.

From project scoping to finished launch

Working closely with the Gleeson marketing team, Studio One reviewed and restructured the entire signage catalogue to improve consistency, compliance, and ease of ordering. This included the development of detailed CAD drawings, assembly specifications, and certified wind-loading calculations for a comprehensive range of construction and housing development signage. To further improve operational efficiency, Studio One’s in-house design, pre-press, and IT departments developed a bespoke online signage ordering portal with editable content functionality and Single Sign-On (SSO) access. This allowed regional teams to quickly manage and order signage for new housing developments, sales offices, and marketing suites through a secure and user-friendly platform.

Following hands-on training sessions delivered at Gleeson’s regional offices, the signage management system was successfully rolled out nationally. The solution now supports everything from external development signage and hoarding graphics to internal sales cabin branding and permanent sales office displays.

Throughout 2025, Studio One delivered signage installation and maintenance projects across the Midlands and North of England, continually refining the product range based on customer feedback and site requirements. Regular “Signage Surgery” workshops with Gleeson sales teams have helped improve usability, streamline ordering processes, and introduce new signage products tailored to active construction developments.

A partnership built to scale

2026 has already started strongly, with new site launches, ongoing maintenance programmes, and signage refreshes helping Gleeson developments maintain a strong and consistent first impression for customers nationwide. This partnership highlights Studio One’s ability to combine production expertise with smart systems and scalable project management — helping multi-site businesses simplify the way they order, manage, and maintain signage.

Want to know more?

Can Studio One manage signage across multiple developments?

Yes — we specialise in centralised signage management for multi-site developers. We consolidate your full signage catalogue into a single specification with CAD drawings and certified wind-loading calculations, then handle print, installation and maintenance through one point of contact. Regional teams order what they need, head office keeps control of brand and budget.

How does the online signage ordering portal work?

Our Portl® digital storefront gives your teams secure Single Sign-On access to a catalogue of pre-approved, editable signage templates. Users amend content such as development names and prices within fixed brand guidelines, then order in a few clicks — no artwork back-and-forth, no off-spec signage reaching site.

Do you survey and install nationwide?

Yes. Our in-house teams hold CSCS, IPAF and PASMA accreditations and carry out surveys, installations and planned maintenance across the whole of the UK — for Gleeson, that includes ongoing programmes throughout the Midlands and the North of England.
