ABOUT US

Our Story

Manning Signs, formerly known as Wingham Sign Shop, has been a family-owned business since 1976. With a rich history in the sign writing industry, we started with hand-painted signs and have evolved by adopting the latest technologies. Our rebranding to Manning Signs marked a new chapter, allowing us to expand our services and meet changing client needs. With decades of experience and a dedication to quality, we continue to deliver exceptional service and value.
