Nash
Head of Customer Greetings / Staff Morale
G’day, I’m Nash—and yes, I’m one of those people with only one name. No surname, no fancy title on the paperwork, but please don’t judge me. My main responsibility at Signs SA is greeting clients and keeping an eye on the team. If I’m being completely honest, I’m what you’d call a “personality hire.” I don’t contribute much to design or production, but everyone loves having me around the shop—and morale is important.
When I’m not hard at work welcoming visitors, supervising lunch breaks or accepting pats, I enjoy morning walks through Anstey Hill and spending time on the River Murray chasing balls, ducks and anything else that looks worth pursuing.
Nicole Kociuba
Operations Manager
With over 30 years of experience in the signage industry Nicole brings a wealth of knowledge and hands-on expertise to her role as Operations Manager. Nicole’s experience spans all aspects of signage, from initial design and production through to manufacturing and installation.

Nicole enjoys the challenges that come with managing daily operations, problem-solving, and working alongside a great team to ensure everything runs smoothly.

She has spent many years playing hockey as a goalkeeper, a position that has taught me resilience, determination and the importance of teamwork. Nicole is also a huge animal lover and enjoys spending time with my furry companions. Between family, sport and animals, there’s rarely a dull moment, and she wouldn’t have it any other way!

William Pannell
Installers
Our installation team are a bit of a mystery! With over 50 years of combined experience, these guys are the behind-the-scenes legends who make the magic happen, turning even the most impossible jobs into reality. They are often spotted heading off with a truck or van full of tools, disappearing onto job sites and somehow returning with amazing results. What actually goes on out there? We’re not entirely sure, what we do know is that when a job looks unachievable, these are the guys who make it happen.
As for what they get up to outside of work, that’s anyone’s guess. They’re just as mysterious off the tools as they are on the job, and getting any information out of them is almost as tricky as getting them to reveal how they make the impossible installations happen!
Juanita “Neet” Lawson
Owner / Founder / All Rounder
Juanita started the business 17 years ago alongside her husband, Andrew. Initially taking on the administration and accounts side of the business, Juanita chose a role that offered flexibility while she and Andrew were raising their children and balancing family life.
Over the years, Juanita’s role has evolved, and she has recently made the move into production. After working on the LiV Golf project in 2026, she discovered a real enjoyment for the hands-on side of the business, particularly the process of building and creating signs, and decided it was time for a change from administration.
Outside of work, Juanita enjoys spending time on the property she shares with Andrew, looking after their animals and, most importantly, spending quality time with family.
