Our People

SignManager was founded in 2000 by its three directors who saw an opportunity to improve the way branded assets from large corporations are managed. We hit the ground running with clients like CUB, Australia Post and Suncorp, and began opening offices around the major cities in Australia. In 2006 our NZ division opened in Auckland and, a few years later, we expanded into the USA. Currently SignManager has over 30 staff operating across three countries. 
Utilising our unique process and innovative, purpose built systems we have managed over 65,000 jobs, all delivered successfully on time, on budget and on brand. 20 years later and we still are the preferred supplier for CUB, Australia Post and Suncorp.

He returned home in the late 80s and met his lovely wife, Bronwyn. Dan worked at some of the country’s largest sign companies in the 90s which gave him the insight needed when he co-founded SignManager in 2000, with the support of his wife and three adventurous sons.
