Alexander Boyd Displays has celebrated its 80th year in business with a special summer social at Cutters Wharf in Belfast, bringing together current and former employees to mark the significant milestone.

Founded in 1946, the Northern Ireland-based large format printing and display company has spent eight decades evolving alongside the signage, printing and display industry. From its early beginnings to the modern large format printing, signage, exhibition and display services it provides today, the company has continued to adapt to changing technologies, materials and customer requirements.

The 80th anniversary celebration provided an opportunity for Alexander Boyd Displays to recognise the people who have contributed to the company’s journey over the years.

Alexander Boyd Displays remains a family-run business and continues to operate from Northern Ireland, providing large format printing, signage and display solutions for businesses, organisations and events across the region and beyond.

Reaching 80 years represents a significant achievement for any business, particularly in an industry that has experienced substantial technological change. While the equipment and techniques used by Alexander Boyd Displays have evolved considerably since 1946, the company’s focus on quality, service and its people remains at the heart of the business.
