At Elite Markings Ltd, we believe that every project, regardless of its size, deserves the highest level of professionalism and quality. While we’re often called upon for large-scale, complex line marking contracts, we take immense pride in our ability to deliver the same precision and commitment to smaller, more targeted jobs. A recent project in Bristol perfectly illustrates this ethos, and it was a fantastic opportunity to not only serve a client but also to invest in the future of our team.
We were tasked with a crucial, though seemingly minor, piece of work at a busy retail park in Bristol. The client required a clear, highly visible yellow box to be marked out in front of an electrical control panel. This isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s a critical safety measure. In an emergency, it’s vital that access to the electrical box is completely unobstructed, allowing maintenance and emergency services personnel to perform a quick and safe cut-off.
For a job like this, durability and visibility are key. We chose to use thermoplastic screed, a material renowned for its longevity and resilience against heavy vehicle and foot traffic. Unlike traditional paint, thermoplastic forms a robust, hard-wearing layer that maintains its vibrant colour for years, reducing the need for frequent re-marking. It’s the perfect choice for high-traffic areas where safety and clarity are paramount.
This project also presented a unique training opportunity. At Elite Markings, we are committed to nurturing the next generation of skilled line markers. We tasked one of our dedicated trainees with leading this project from start to finish. Under the watchful eye of an experienced supervisor, our trainee was able to apply their theoretical knowledge in a real-world setting, gaining hands-on experience with the application of thermoplastic screed. They prepared the surface, measured out the precise dimensions for the box, and expertly applied the material, resulting in a perfect, crisp yellow marking.
Seeing our trainee confidently execute the work to our exacting standards was incredibly rewarding. It underscores our belief that investing in our people is just as important as investing in our equipment and materials. The successful completion of this small but significant job is a testament to the skill and dedication of our entire team, from our seasoned experts to our promising newcomers.
Whether it’s a large-scale car park, an industrial warehouse, or a small, critical safety marking like this one, Elite Markings Ltd brings the same level of expertise and attention to detail to every job. Our goal is always to deliver a flawless, durable result that meets our clients’ specific needs and safety requirements.
