Branding
for trades

Look as good as the work you do.

You take pride in a clean finish, a tidy site and a job done properly. Your van, your quotes and your website should say the same thing before a customer has even met you. Conker creates branding for trades and construction businesses across Grimsby and North East Lincolnshire - one strong identity, built for the road, the site and the screen.

Great work. Forgettable brand.

Most trades businesses grow on word of mouth, and the branding gets left behind. A logo knocked up on day one, a van with a phone number and not much else, a website that hasn't been touched in years. None of it reflects the quality of the work - and when a customer is comparing three quotes, that gap costs you jobs.

The businesses that win the bigger contracts and charge what they're worth usually aren't the best tradespeople in town. They're the ones that look the most professional, on the road, on site and online.

See Our Trades Work
One brand that works everywhere you do.

It starts with your brand identity - the logo, colours and type that make you recognisable. Then we put it to work on everything a customer sees, so you look like the same professional outfit wherever they find you.

01

Your brand identity

A distinctive logo, colours and type that work on a hi-vis as well as a homepage, plus simple guidelines so it stays consistent as you grow.

02

Van & vehicle livery

Clear, bold graphics that turn every journey into an advert, supplied print-ready for your signwriter.

03

Workwear & PPE

Embroidery and print-ready versions of your logo for polos, jackets, hi-vis and hard hats.

04

Site boards & signage

Hoardings, banners and site boards that tell the street who's doing the job.

05

Quotes, tenders & stationery

Letterheads, quote templates and capability documents that help you win bigger contracts.

Designed for the site, not just the screen.

Branding for trades has to work harder than most - it lives a hard life. It gets read from across a car park, stitched onto a polo, printed on a muddy site board and shrunk down to a social media icon. We design for all of it from day one - simple shapes that read at a distance, colours that hold up in sunlight and on hi-vis, and versions of your logo for every use.

Readable from across the road - bold, simple marks that work on a moving van.
Tough enough for workwear - logos that survive embroidery, not just print.
Consistent everywhere - one look across vans, sites, paperwork and online, so people recognise you instantly.
From one van to a full fleet.

Whether you're a sole trader going out on your own or an established contractor tendering for bigger work, we'll shape the project around where your business is now.

Frequently asked questions.

Thinking about a new brand can come with plenty of questions. If you can't find the answer you're looking for, just get in touch - we're always happy to have a chat.

Enquire
Do I really need branding? Most of my work comes from word of mouth.

Word of mouth gets you the call. Your branding decides whether you get the job - especially when someone has been recommended three trades and is comparing quotes and websites. Good branding for trades businesses also helps you charge what your work is worth.

Can you design my van livery?

Yes. We design the full livery and supply print-ready artwork sized to your vehicle, so your signwriter or wrap company can fit it without guesswork.

Will my logo work on workwear?

It will. We design every trades logo with embroidery and print in mind, and supply simplified versions for small sizes and single-colour use.

I'm just starting out - is this for me?

Absolutely. Starting with a strong brand means you look established from your first job, and you won't need to redo everything when you take on your first van or apprentice.

Can you help us win bigger contracts?

We can help you look the part. Professional tender documents, capability statements and a website with real project photos make a big difference when you're pitching to main contractors or commercial clients.

Do you only work with trades in Grimsby?

No. We're based in Grimsby and work with trades and construction businesses right across North East Lincolnshire, including Cleethorpes, Immingham, Humberston and Waltham.

Do you build websites too?

Yes. Once your brand is sorted, we can carry it across to a website that shows off your projects and brings in enquiries - see our web design service. Plenty of trades start with the brand and add the website later.

How much does it cost?

Every project is different - a logo and van livery costs less than a full rebrand with a website. We'll scope it with you and give you a clear price before we start.

Whether you're starting something new, changing direction or simply ready for a better website, Conker want to hear about it.
