Fleet Branding Case Study – Paul Turner Signwriters Ltd, Leeds
At Paul Turner Signwriters Ltd, we specialise in fleet branding, vehicle graphics and commercial vehicle wrapping for businesses across Leeds and Yorkshire.
One of our latest projects involved branding 10 new vans for Howard Civil Engineering, including seven Citroën Berlingos and three Citroën Dispatches. Each vehicle received high-visibility Chapter 8 rear chevrons alongside digitally printed company logos, creating a clean and consistent appearance across the entire fleet.
Completed at our Garforth workshop near Leeds, the project required our team to adapt the graphics to suit two different van models while maintaining the same professional brand identity throughout.

New Fleet Branding and Project Preparation
The new fleet consisted of seven Citroën Berlingos and three Citroën Dispatches. Before production began, our team assessed both vehicle models, took accurate measurements and adapted the artwork to account for their different rear panel layouts.
This preparation ensured the Chapter 8 chevron kits and digitally printed Howard Civil Engineering logos fitted each van correctly while maintaining consistent fleet branding across all 10 vehicles.
Project Objectives
The main goals for this project were:
- Create consistent fleet branding across all 10 vehicles
- Apply highly visible Chapter 8 rear chevron kits
- Adapt the graphics to suit both Citroën van models
- Complete the work quickly so the new fleet could get on the road
Materials Used
For this fleet branding project, we used high-quality reflective and digitally printed materials to create a durable, professional finish across all 10 vans.
- Rear Markings: ¾ prismatic Chapter 8 chevron kits
- Branding: Digitally printed Howard Civil Engineering logos
- Vehicles: Seven Citroën Berlingos and three Citroën Dispatches
The high-visibility chevrons were fitted to the rear of each vehicle, with the company logos positioned within the inset panels. The graphics were tailored to each van model to achieve a consistent finish across the fleet.
Measuring & Preparation
Careful preparation was essential to ensure the graphics fitted accurately across both vehicle models. Our team assessed the rear panel layouts of the Citroën Berlingos and Citroën Dispatches before adapting the artwork and producing the individual graphic kits.
Before installation, each van was thoroughly cleaned and prepared. The process included:
- Checking and measuring each vehicle model
- Adapting the graphics to suit the different rear layouts
- Cleaning and preparing the application areas
- Positioning the Chapter 8 chevrons and printed logos for a consistent finish
Installation Process
Our technicians installed the fleet graphics with careful attention to positioning, visibility and consistency across all 10 vans.
Each vehicle was completed individually, including:
- ¾ prismatic Chapter 8 rear chevrons
- Digitally printed Howard Civil Engineering logos
- Accurate fitting around doors, handles and panel edges
- Model-specific adjustments for the Berlingos and Dispatches
This methodical installation process produced a clean, durable finish while ensuring both vehicle types shared the same professional fleet branding.
Completed Result
The completed vans now have a clean, consistent appearance that reflects the Howard Civil Engineering brand across both vehicle models.
The combination of digitally printed logos and ¾ prismatic Chapter 8 rear chevrons gives the fleet a professional and highly visible finish. All 10 vehicles were completed within the required turnaround, helping Howard Civil Engineering get its new vans on the road without unnecessary delays.
