About Paul Richard
Traditional signwriter, craftsman and gilder creating hand-painted signage throughout the UK.
A Lifetime Of Traditional Craftsmanship
My introduction to signwriting began in 1987 when I trained at college before joining a large traditional sign company producing hand-painted pub signs throughout the UK.
Working alongside experienced craftsmen gave me a solid grounding in traditional lettering, layout, gilding and sign production. At the age of 19 I established my own business and have continued to work professionally ever since.
Over the years I have completed commissions throughout the UK as well as projects in Paris, Lyon, Germany and Belize, creating everything from shop fascias and pub signs to reverse glass gilding, decorative lettering and heritage restoration work.
Today I continue to combine traditional techniques with modern durability, creating bespoke signage designed to complement its surroundings and stand the test of time.

The Craftsman Behind The Work
Every project is personally designed, laid out and painted by hand.
I believe good signwriting should feel as though it belongs to the building it sits upon. Careful attention is given to proportion, spacing, colour and materials to ensure each commission enhances its surroundings.
Whether working on a traditional pub fascia, a period property, a gold leaf transom or a contemporary business frontage, the same principles of craftsmanship and attention to detail are applied throughout.
