Meet Emma, running the show behind every perfectly printed sign we ship.
Job Role: Print Production & Design Specialist
By day, Emma heads up our entire signage operation - keeping artwork in line, testing new equipment, and ensuring the UV printer runs so fast it probably qualifies as a small Hadron collider. She’s the one making sure your signs come out crisp, correct, and looking so good you'll almost want to frame them.
By night (and at lunch, and possibly during meetings), she’s an artist and tattooist with a flair for the surreal. Emma has doodled her teammates' caricatures, tattooed her designs, and once gifted our Marketing Manager a majestic drawing of a black cat brushing its teeth - a piece now regarded as priceless cultural capital within the office.
Random facts:
- Barely ever drinks hot tea or coffee (we’ve checked – it’s not just a phase)
- A huge Studio Ghibli fan, even if her Ghibli mug only sits decoratively at her desk
- Can’t whistle and is jealous of anyone who can
- Will walk through you if you pause mid-pavement (and honestly? Respect)
Q&A
💙 What’s your favourite thing about working at Beaverswood?
“The people! Honestly, I’d protect the assembly girls with my life - they’re absolute legends. There’s such a good atmosphere here, everyone’s willing to help out and have a laugh. It makes coming to work something I actually look forward to.”
📦 What’s your favourite Beaverswood® product?
“Of course, it’s signs! It’d be a bit criminal if I said anything else.”
(Although, full disclosure: when we first asked this question, Emma deadpanned with “Floor tape”. She’s got a dry sense of humour, this one.)
🎨 What skill have you learned or improved since joining the team?
“Definitely Adobe Illustrator - I’d used it a bit before, but now I’m much more comfortable with it. I’ve also levelled up my Excel skills, which I never thought I’d say. It’s weirdly satisfying once you get into it.”
🖨️ What does a typical day look like for you?
“Most days I’m working on customer artwork and setting up print jobs - especially weight load signs. The UV printer keeps me busy! But I also help with label printing and jump into assembly when needed. It’s a nice mix of creative and hands-on work, and no two days are the same.”
✅ What’s the most satisfying part of your role?
“When we get a tricky or unusual order, and I manage to get it just right, especially if it’s a rush job or needs special attention. Seeing it all come together, knowing the customer’s happy with it, and that it looks sharp - that’s a win!"
🔥 Which starter Pokémon would you choose from Charmander, Squirtle, or Bulbasaur?
“Charmander, of course. It’s got a flaming tail and turns into a literal dragon. What more do you want?”
🧟♀️ What’s your zombie apocalypse survival plan?
“Simple: find our UV printer, hide behind it, crack open a can of Pringles, sip on a peach iced tea, and hope for the best. If I’m going down, I’m going down snacking.”
🖌️ You have to replace your hands with something else. What do you choose?
“Paintbrushes.”
(Emma didn’t elaborate, and we chose not to press her.)
