Signs of excellence: Kyle Wolfaardt's path to establishing The Sign Smith
Kyle Wolfaardt, the founder and owner of The Sign Smith, began his journey in the signage industry in 2007 with an apprenticeship and a move to Auckland where he became involved in large-scale projects. During this time, Kyle gained substantial experience and expertise, transitioning into project management. After meeting his wife and starting a family, Kyle relocated back to Tauranga, where he established The Sign Smith.
Over the years, The Sign Smith has established a reputation for high-end service and quality products which has led to partnerships with well-known brands such as Skechers, Platypus, Footlocker, Timezone, Four Square, Farro Fresh, Levis, Faradays, and Newline. Today, the company continues to thrive, driven by Kyle's innovative vision and unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction.
