Industrial Estate Wayfinding

It’s all about business!

While often overlooked, wayfinding in industrial estates and business parks is crucial. Industrial estates and business places are areas where there usually groups of businesses and factories. There are a wide variety of users that pass through industrial estates and business parks and they all have different navigational environment. This is because the majority of users will not be familiar with the area. These areas are often built over a long period of time which makes them a maze to navigate. They also are home to a lot of different types of businesses who all come with different needs.

The users of these environments need clear pre-visit information in addition to proper road and pedestrian signage. Having a secure and easily navigated wayfinding systems increases user experience by providing safe and clear journeys throughout the business park or industrial estate. It is also important to have clear signage for regular users of these environments as well. In order to keep these businesses running on time and more importantly keeping their customers happy, delivery drivers need to be able to easily find the necessary locations.

Here are the typical users of business parks and industrial estates that we account for:

  • The full and part-time staff of the buildings and factories
  • Security personnel
  • Delivery drivers
  • Visitors
  • Friends and family of staff
  • Accidental visitors
As each business park and industrial estate is unique, we provide bespoke signage and systems to ensure the user has an easy and enjoyable experience. These areas are often very industrial looking which leaves them with no brand presence to attract future tenants to the area. Adding useful and visually appealing signage is a great way to not only make the area much easier to navigate, but will make businesses more likely to want to move there.
