About Us

---

I was born and grew up in Echuca, attending Echuca East Primary School and surviving 1980s Echuca High School. After completing school I started a signwriting apprenticeship with a local tradesman, then my own business in the middle of the 'recession we had to have'.  In my mid 20s I left Echuca to travel; visiting northern Australia, Canada, Africa and eventually settling in Europe for more than 10 years.  I've been signwriting again now since returning home in 2012. I trade both as Greg Chandler Signs and as Steady Hand Signs.

I started in  the sign industry as an apprentice in 1988.  Back then computer cut self adhesive lettering was in its early days and the majority of signs were painted.  When I finished my apprenticeship and started my own business I only did painted signs for the first few years and this is when I really honed my brush skills.  When the time was right I added a vinyl cutter and in 2004 I purchased a wide format digital printer and hot-laminating equipment.
