Any organisation or individual engaged in the manufacturing, supplying, installing or maintaining signs, graphics or other visual communication or manifestation directly to end users.

Membership of ISA-UK delivers a powerful signal to sign buyers of a professional, competent and qualified company. The ISA-UK emblem is a highly visible symbol of a quality sign maker and its use by members offers distinct marketing advantages. Many tender documents now specifically demand details of trade association membership as a prerequisite of the tendering process.
However, membership of ISA-UK also provides much more. ISA-UK is a proactive organisation working on a continuous basis to defend the interests of the industry against potential threats that would damage the ability to do business and to provide a range of member services.
