We thought what better way to celebrate than with an airing of the Sugar Hill Gangs classic hit, Rappers Delight.

We’ll be sharing some of before and after shots of vehicles we’ve wrapped on our Facebook page soon.

We’ve just spotted some of our work in the music video for ‘Monster’ by ‘Professor Green’.

Below is the mural we designed, printed and installed for the Carnesky’s Ghost Train, which is now permanently located in Blackpool opposite the Sandcastle Water Park.

The Carneky Ghost Train at Blackpool

Created by award winning theatre producer Marisa Carnesky, the Ghost Train is part ride, part visual theatre and part scare attraction which cleverly combines contemporary attraction technology with age old theatrical illusions.

Here’s the music video.

Heckfords are delighted to have been asked once again to add some colourful impact to the exterior of Winfields Camping and Outdoor Megastore in Haslingden.

Winfields opened their first factory mill store at Hazel Mill more than 40 years ago, providing one of the largest ranges of family footwear in the country. Expansion soon followed with more Megastores opening as they diversified into the camping and outdoor sector. Winfields are now renowned for outstandingly low prices on tents, camping equipment, outdoor wear and workwear in addition to their family footwear and home wares departments. In 2009 they acquired Barretts who had begun trading as country saddlers in rural Feckenham in 1852, this represents an impressive portfolio now boasting six megastores throughout the country.

Amongst the challenges facing the Heckford large format print team were the construction of a 35 meter run of 2 meter high stand-off acrylic lettering and twelve huge 5 meter x 3 meter window cover graphics. The finished project, along with the addition of new in-store signage and entrance flags, has added dramatic colour to the exterior look of this successful Mill Store.

Heckford recently designed and produced the Plumbs exhibition stand for their 2012 exhibitions and event programme. The Isoframe system consisted of a combination of colour matched foamex and opaljet panels with two integral slat wall displays and four free standing plinths to display furniture. The stand matched the clients brief of a high impact, lightweight yet easy to construct system perfectly and will be used to promote Plumbs at a number of high profile events and exhibitions in 2012 starting with the Country Living Spring Fair this March.

TOMY Toys (Europe), whose famous brands include Thomas the Tank Engine, Sonic, Pokemon and Winnie The Pooh, have appointed Heckford as their design and build exhibition supplier for 2012. Competing against many other experienced design companies, our creative concept visuals were instrumental in securing the account. The dramatic 196 sq mt stand was unveiled at the prestigious Toy Fair event at London Olympia in February.
Eddie Blake, Heckford’s design and build manager said “ This is a great start to what we hope will be a long and close partnership. We are very proud to have secured such a prestigious account against fierce competition. This only serves to confirm our place as one of the country’s leading international exhibition manufacturers”
For TOMY, Stuart Kahn commented “ Heckford really impressed us on both design level and the standard of finish throughout. There were clear lines of communication throughout the project and we felt in total control at every step. I cannot recommend Heckford highly enough, and look forward to working closely with them over the years to come”
