Howden enhances print scheme to support sign industry

Jul 27, 2026 | Industry News

Howden has strengthened its Print Business insurance offering to better support sign makers and vehicle and fleet graphics businesses, bringing together specialist expertise from both the print and motor trade sectors.

The enhanced proposition has been developed to reflect the way sign makers operate – balancing workshop-based production with on-site installation, customer vehicles and work at height.

By combining expertise across these specialist areas, the offering is designed to protect against the real-world challenges businesses face every day and enables businesses of all sizes to access flexible cover, including extensions typically reserved for larger organisations.

From the workshop floor to the roadside, sign makers and vehicle graphics businesses manage a complex mix of risks – from handling customer vehicles to operating specialist equipment across varied environments. This enhanced offering has been purpose-built to provide comprehensive, flexible protection, giving businesses the confidence to keep moving forward.

Luke Wildey, a former printer turned insurance broker in Howden’s Print Business team, said: “Sign makers and vehicle graphics businesses sit at the intersection of print and motor trade, and their insurance needs don’t always fit neatly into one category. This enhancement is about recognising that – and providing cover that reflects how these businesses actually operate.

Rather than a one-size-fits-all solution, we’re offering a more informed, specialist approach that supports everything from the production floor to on-site installation and vehicle work.”

This enhanced offering is available to businesses across the print, signage, large-format and vehicle graphics sectors, with no set requirements. The scheme is designed to be accessible to independent businesses, franchised centres and larger organisations alike.
