In the past, our company always struggled to find good quality signage from local signage suppliers that would last for 7 years and longer.
We are pleased that RD Signs started their business based on quality and not quantity. The material used by RD Signs is far more superior than those offered in the market and their good quality workmanship delivers signage that lasts. The BF Petroleum Group are pleased with their work and quality until today, and know that we get what we pay for. All the best to RD Signs and their future endeavours.

CEO BF Petroleum Group

The search for our preferred “first choice company” to provide branding services eventually came to a final conclusion after we have discovered your office.

The points listed below are some of the reasons why RD Signs & Branding has set them apart from the rest:

The swift submission of quotations.
Attention to detail, creative recommendations, and ideas when a new design is required.
The continuous submission of designs until the final design is approved. (Without showing frustration)
The quality of the final product.
The submission of invoices in accordance with what was initially stipulated on the quotation.
Providing after sale service by confirming if the client is satisfied with the final product.
General professionalism of the entire RD Signs & Branding team with regards to their administration, service, attitude, and friendliness.
