menuYOUR CHOICES
The choice available to you is limitless!That may sound a little overwhelming but it simply means that
there are no restrictions to the shape, size or colour of honours board available to you.
You could send us a detailed plan and we'll work faithfully from that, or, you could just tell us that you have a large wall space and would like us to produce some ideas, make some drawings for you to consider.
You can have any type of timber made to any size, in any shape, with any font style, framing or colour that you would like.

The display is nearly four metres wide from left to right, the central panel is 1400mm high, the side panels are 600mm wide X 1200mm high.
Choosing an Honours Board
Honour boards may have a bit of a stuffy reputation, dark and ancient with 100 year old names fading but in reality they often tell a tale ofa fascinating history and most importantly serve the function of encouragement in all aspects of work, endeavour and life.
To reflect this, we take great care and effort to produce honour boards that are special, distinctive and worthy of the names placed upon them.
There are no limitations to shape, size or colour of the honour board that you can have.
You can have any size, any shape, font style, framing or colour that you would like.
Everything that we produce is tailor-made to your requirements, which means that you can ask us
to produce anything that you can think of and we should be able to manufacture it for you, however obscure.

This three column board measures 1200mm high X 900mm wide, the other three boards are smaller 1000mm X 600mm wide and have enough space for two columns of names. Although the boards vary in dimensions, the size of the lettering used for the names is the same across all four displays.
Roll of Honour Remembrance Boards & Commemoration Plaques
Paying tribute to those who have died in times of conflict.
Four examples are shown in this section and span both World Wars and more recent conflicts.
Armed Services & Military Honour Boards
We spent many hours redrawing the regimental crest to create a vector version which could be cut and reproduced at any size from 100mm high to 100 metres or could be coloured for print reproduction.
A larger version of the crest can be seen in the image on the immediate right.

1. Dye Sublimation Prints We can print your design using dye sublimation which is a vastly superior method when compared to any other method in that the colours should not fade for 50 years or so.
2. Hand painted. This is usually the most expensive method as it takes a long time but is also the only method that offers even greater colour stability than dye sublimation printing. Colours should still be strong after 100 years.
3. Vector graphics Many types of logo that involve areas of flat colour can be produced by cutting self adhesive materials to the shape of your design using a vector file that you supply or we can produce from your image.

An oak honour board with decorative top moulding shown here before any lettering was applied. Sometimes we can use standard mouldings, other times we have to produce them ourselves which can take a long time and increase the cost.This board had to match existing boards and the only way to produce a moulding of the matching size and shape was to make it in-house. The board with lettering can be seen in the enlargement if you click on the image.

A simple 30mm X 12mm oak architrave is used to form an elegant and traditional style frame.
The timber moulding is available to us off the shelf and is a relatively low cost option from your point of view.
More expensive? See below!
Bottom right
This board uses complex mouldings, all made by hand and not available off the shelf which means the cost rises considerably.
This type of framing is typically used to produce a very traditional and substantial feel.
Fire Brigades, Police & Public Services
The logos are produced by dye sublimation printing which are then hand cut with a scalpel and then adhered to the boards.
We have also produced boards for the West Midlands Police and HMP Stocken
Photographs can be misleading, at 2200mm high, the Butterworth prizewinners board is nearly twice the height of most of the boards displayed on this page.
The Butterworth board has solid oak mouldings produced by ourselves in our Partridge Green workshop in West Sussex.
The 50mm high lettering has been shaped and cut by us from 6mm thick European oak.
The board was originally produced in the 1950's and had no space left for new names. Our job was to remove all lettering, re-finish the board and apply new lettering slightly smaller that would allow space for new names for the next 30 years or so.
We produce new reproduction boards like this in any timber that you choose.
Other boards, produced from scratch and in a simlar style are shown in this section.
Tideway Scullers Rowing Club, Chiswick West London.
Name board in recognition of club members who achieve international sporting status or honours
This board names athletes that have achieved international standards in their sport.
It measures 2400mm wide and is 1220mm high to the top of the apex shape containing the club logo.
There are three primary methods used to fix an honours board to a wall, this board utilises a hanger or suspension bar method.
It's main appeal as a system is that there are no visible fixings, the system also has the advantage of being very strong and able to support a lot of weight.
A disadvantage of this fixing system is that it is relatively complex to produce compared to other methods and accordingly increases the overall cost of an honours board,
but as I'm sure you know, if you want the best, you have to pay for it!
