History
The story of Futurama stretches back over 100 years. It was in 1880 that HE Roberts, the great-great grandfather of our current chairman, Rick Roberts, opened a signwriting shop in the East End of London. The business passed from father to son, and in 1958, was relaunched as Futurama by Rick’s father, Tony. When Rick took over the business in 1989, he expanded, developed and grew it beyond its traditional base. Futurama's services now include merchandising, signs, retail systems, network support and furniture, for a complete, end-to-end solution for brand rollout and maintenance. Over the last 20 years, they've become the leader in delivering branded environments for some of the world’s best-known brands, including NatWest, Honda, M&S, Lloyds TSB, Rover, Honda and HSBC.

Management team
Partnering with Futurama is a unique experience: their managers are hands-on, getting to know a business inside and out. They’re specialists in their area, with long experience and detailed knowledge. Most have been with the company 15 years or more, and operate with complete autonomy: managing an account, finding the best partners for a brand rollout, devising and implementing campaigns, and training staff. They travel around the world to find the most cost-effective solutions and the highest standards of workmanship; and they’re always looking for ways to add value in everything they do. They’re the ultimate combination of creativity, skill and business know-how.
