Brief

We’ve received a range of briefs from the FAW. From stadium branding to awards events, team environment branding such as team hotels and training facilities, and commercial and administrative buildings. We work closely with supplied brand guidelines of both the FAW and their commercial partners, but are given creative freedom when the solution demands. We have worked with our affiliate companies, allowing us to utilise materials such as Welsh slate, oak, acrylic, metals and glass.

 

The Solution

Since we first began working with the FAW 15 years ago, we’ve supplied varied solutions that responded directly to the needs of each project.

In 2025, in addition to our ongoing support, we won the contract to deliver a full signage, branding, wayfinding and acoustics pack for the £3million extension to the headquarters in Cardiff.

We delivered external and internal signage throughout the site, bespoke brand activations in office spaces, player zones, meeting rooms, corridors and reception areas. This extension also included the implementation of a full acoustics solution in their new, UEFA accredited press conference suite and media centre.

Our Ffeel Acoustics range was used to ensure the space met strict sound absorption targets, and with sustainability being important, the entire acoustics installation was manufactured from recycled plastic bottles.
