Machine Canvas is based in Lytham St Annes, so Lancashire isn't a long drive for us — it's home. From Preston to Blackburn, Burnley to Chorley, we print full-colour murals, feature walls and floor graphics for homes and businesses across a county whose economy has moved a long way past its textile-mill past.
Lancashire's economy isn't one thing — each of its main towns has grown in a different direction, and we print for all of them.
Mid Lancashire's fastest-growing sectors are admin & support services, professional/scientific/technical work and education — a growing office and university market that needs reception branding and wayfinding, not just retail graphics.
Construction is up sharply in Blackburn with Darwen in recent years — good news for hoarding and site-branding work alongside the office fit-outs following admin and support services growth.
Wholesale and retail still account for around a fifth of Burnley's jobs, while Chorley has seen strong growth in finance, insurance and professional services — two very different high streets and office markets, printed to the same standard.
Lancashire's economy has moved on from the textile manufacturing and coal mining that once defined it towards light industry, professional services and a growing digital and creative cluster around Preston, Burnley and Lancaster — and interiors need to keep pace.
Offices & professional services
Reception branding and breakout-space feature walls for the admin, finance and professional-services firms driving Lancashire's fastest growth.
Construction & developers
Site hoarding and show-home interiors for the construction firms and developers active across Blackburn, Preston and beyond.
Schools, retail & homes
The same 5-year guarantee and CE-certified equipment whether it's a Burnley high-street shop or a Chorley living room.
