About Adept
Adept Graphics was founded by Ryan Weston in 2014. With 10 years’ experience designing and sign writing vans, he finally took the jump and Adept was formed. The goal was to help educate small to medium size local businesses in the importance of having great branding on their vehicles and signs.
We moved to our first premises in 2015 slightly earlier than expected. We’ve never looked back since and are now looking at buying a second building to accommodate for more wrapping bays.
Investing In machinery was a difficult decision at the time but looking back we don’t know why. Investing thousands into brand new machinery using the latest technology so we could keep our customers costs down to a minimum was a no brainer.
3 years into Adept, by pure luck, Ryan met Jay working on a project for another sign company. We can’t tell you what we really think about Jay (maybe, just maybe, the best vehicle wrapper in the UK) as he will hate it, but his ability and knowledge in wrapping moved us to levels that have not been seen before. Jay has since become co-owner of Adept with Ryan.
In 2018 we landed a major fleet client, Hyperoptic, who gave us an opportunity to be their approved wrapping partner. Wrapping over 100 vans was extremely rewarding and by the end of the first year, we knew this was going to be big for us.
One very important thing that both Jay and Ryan agreed on was getting the work life balance right from the start. Producing high quality graphics takes time so as the working hours starting creeping up and up, we agreed that we needed another person to help us with this. Well one become two, then three, and so on and we’re still growing. This has been very rewarding time for us passing on our 30+ years of experience to our staff.
Since our first major fleet client in 2018, we have continued to push that side of the business, wrapping fleets of vehicles for recognisable brands, managing the whole process from concept to delivery and beyond to aftercare. We love what we do at Adept and pride ourselves with the quality of the work we deliver.
In 2021, our longstanding environmental awareness evolved into proactive engagement with the circular economy. As early adopters, we introduced and now prioritise the utilisation of 100% recyclable vinyl material, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability.
In 2023, our team experienced growth and investment. We’ve welcomed new fitters onboard and expanded our operations with the addition of Laura. Furthermore, Jon has joined us to lead our Business Development efforts.
