Small Warwick business designs sign for RM Williams
THINKING big is working for Warwick small business Zooma Signs, after it scored a job that will put it in front of a potential audience of more than one million people.
The business, under the ownership of Carey and Nicole Burt recently completed a job for RM Williams, as the iconic Australian brand looks to get back to its country roots.
Set to debut at the Royal Easter Show next weekend is the company’s branded travelling store, dubbed The Hut.
Mr Burt said he was proud of taking on the job for such an Australian icon.
“This was a huge job for us, a little Warwick business,” he said.
“I’m really chuffed that work on this scale can be done right here in Warwick.
“It’s always the opposite, people think they won’t be able to get work done in Warwick and go to the city, in this case, RM Williams wanted the work done away from the cities.”
Zooma Signs was tasked with manufacturing the illuminated sign that sits atop the building.
“They’ve taken a 20ft shipping container and lopped the top and sides off and built up from there,” Mr Burt said.
“It’s designed to be a throwback to the classic old bushman’s hut that was so iconic throughout Australia’s formative history.”
Mr Burt said the company wanted the structure to be made completely by country Aussies for country Aussies.
