BSGA Member Profile – PIVOT365

PIVOT365, founded in 2022, marked its second anniversary in November. The company has rapidly established a solid reputation in the signage and services sector.

The team at PIVOT365 has extensive experience with signage design, manufacturing, installation and maintenance, offering customers full signage management across their estate.

The company addresses the typical challenges retailers encounter with sign and display installations, especially in safety and risk management. Its mission is to become the go-to ‘signage safety expert’, safeguarding the people in and around buildings and protecting brand reputation by maintaining compliance every day of the year.

Now entering its third year, PIVOT365 continues to grow. Supporting its loyal customer base and with some exciting new clients currently onboarding, the future looks promising. PIVOT365 is very keen to explore the opportunity of working with the BSGA raising awareness and seeking to drive legislation that protects clients, landlords and the public. Continuing to strengthen connections with likeminded businesses with safety at the very heart of their offering.

What makes PIVOT365 different

PIVOT365 are signage safety experts that deliver through collaboration and innovation. All PIVOT365 staff have significant services and signage backgrounds that support consistent delivery in an ever-changing environment.

“Our experience drives us to focus on delivering reliable, compliant solutions,” says Keith Phillips, Managing Director of PIVOT365. “Whether it’s designing new signage or maintaining existing installations, safety, technology and teamwork are at the heart of everything we do across the UK, ROI, and Northern Europe.”

Tackling industry challenges

The signage industry faces rising costs, changing marketplaces, tightening budgets, and ambiguous safety regulations. For PIVOT365, the main challenge is ensuring an estate remains safe and compliant, especially when budget constraints and priorities are often focused elsewhere.

Our challenge, using our ‘Signage Safety Standards’, is to adapt and provide a cost-effective offering using technology, a different way of thinking, determination, and efficiency.

We have worked very hard to finesse and deliver the task of keeping an estate safe on both a planned and reactive basis, ensuring it remains compliant, and doing so on a limited budget.

Why PIVOT365 joined the BSGA

Keith explains, “The signage installation and maintenance market has changed dramatically over the years. Few have struggled to deliver a cost-effective and reliable service. We see an opportunity, through collaboration and innovation, to work with customers and design a bespoke, timed, and cost-effective service that increases their level of signage safety, not their budgets.

We joined the BSGA in April 2023 because we fully believe in the opportunity that they have to unite and strengthen signage safety and drive deliverable safety standards, “raising the bar”.

The BSGA’s role in supporting PIVOT365

Looking ahead, PIVOT365 hopes for more industry cooperation and greater recognition of the expertise required for safe signage installation and maintenance.

As BSGA chairman Craig Brown puts it, “The BSGA is proud to bring together and support companies like PIVOT365. We are working together to help the industry understand the importance of signage safety and establish the standards necessary for installations and maintenance.”

Keith concludes, “We hope to see an increase in minimum safety levels across an estate with the support of the BSGA and its members. We will work hard to ensure that a ‘minimum safety standard’ is created and implemented through the British Standards.

The experience, skills, and qualifications of our signage technicians are hard-fought and deserve recognition through a governing body. One way we can do this is to drive the standards and create a minimum requirement.

With the support of the BSGA, we hope to see this become a reality.”
