Melvyn started his career as a signwriter serving his time with his father (also a master signwriter and gilder) from the age of 16. From an early stage in his career, he showed a great interest in gilding and back glass painting. Over the years this interest grew until Mel was himself a master gilder, as well as a time served signwriter.
In 1979 he formed Caldy Signs and so began a hugely successful business, with contracts ranging from signwriting an oil rig, refitting petrol stations to gilding for some of the most prestigious jewelers in the country.here is Mel demonstrating traditional signwriting skills
