Good Directions Group

   Our Engineers Proudly Showing Off Their Hardwork. Good Directions recently worked in partnership with a Rotary Club to produce and manufacture two identical clocks for the inside and outside of the clubhouse at Chislehurst Recreation Ground.   One of these clocks was situated in the club bar for its patrons and the other is sitting on an a-frame on the roof of the building, both running in time with one another, allowing great visibility from the pitch, ensuring no one misses kick off. The dial situated by the bar is a 400mm square bezel with the clubs’ colour in vinyl proudly on display on the dial, with the rotary logo also present in the middle of the dial. The larger clock on the roof of the establishment is a 900mm square bezel which is sat on an a-frame, also displays the clubs’ colours and Rotary logo in the middle, ensuring synchronisation in time and aesthetics. Both these clocks were additionally fitted with an electric mechanism and a resynchronis

  Press Release Photograph By Alton Towers Good Directions LTD had the honour and absolute pleasure of working alongside the Creative Director of Alton Towers, John Burton to manufacture and produce a 1900mm dial for the newly opened ‘World of David Walliams’ at Alton Towers theme park, bringing the story of ‘Gangsta Granny’ to life.   This enormous clock was designed by John Burton and closely following his design we produced a piece which has swiftly become one of our favourites. Using a variety of materials, cutting-edge technology and techniques, we have produced a clock which will be seen by thousands, if not millions of people for years to come.   Foam pieces cut out on the Waterjet being sprayed The large dial is all in gold, with vinyl being used to create the desired effect. This clock also features raised numerals, which were cut out of foam PVC sheet on our waterjet. We chose to use this PVC as it is lightweight, durable, and best of all waterproof, ensuring a lon

Good Directions Ltd proudly presents this 680mm bespoke clock which was produced for the high-end eatery ‘The Wolseley’, who are situated in Piccadilly in London.   Pattern Being Made   Prior to the job commencing, the customer sent us photographs of the old clock which used to be in place at the establishment. This was to allow us to lovingly create a replica of said clock down to the last detail. We achieved this by utilising a variety of traditional and modern techniques together with top engineering skills that we have learned throughout our three decades in clock manufacturing. Our engineers worked from drawings provided by the customer to create hand carved patterns, from which moulds were taken to then create the stunning moulded detailing for the bezel surround in GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) to recreate the fruit detailing which existed on the original clock.   Pattern ready to be sprayed Using a silicone mould to ensure pinpoint precision allowed us to create a 1:1 re

Good Directions LTD is over-joyed to be able to present this bespoke 1000mm clock which was manufactured all in house and proudly supplied to ‘Spuntini La Vita’ a new restaurant in Glasgow. Working with Burns Interior Design Ltd this particular design was inspired by another clock which the customer wanted to replicate as they thought it would make a stunning feature and talking point in their new restaurant.   Using out water jet cutter, we were able to cut this 25mm Riven Slate with ease and into the desired and correct shape for this dial. As well as cutting this piece of slate to size on our water jet, thanks to the accuracy and precision of the machine, we were also able to add a chamfered edge to the dial. The plus side to using Riven slate is that it does not have a smooth finish like most slate, instead it retains its natural stone aesthetic and texture for a more interesting finish.   Waterjet Cutting out the Foam Templates. Once the dial was cut and ready, we proceeded to ma

  Team Eleven Clock Bespoke Clock Installed Outside Customers Office. We at GoodDirections take immense pride in our work and always go above and beyond to make sure we are at the forefront of innovation and able to produce the latest and greatest time pieces. We recently had the absolute pleasure to work with Team Eleven, a marketing company based up in Bradford Upon Avon, who were looking for a bespoke and unique clock for their workplace building which would not only stand out in the busy hustle and bustle of the high street but would also look stylish and inviting enough to attract new customers and clients. Working off a design which they provided to us, we produced this double-sided drum clock , which houses two fantastic acrylic dials. The primary focal point of this clock was to highlight the number eleven on the clock faces. The purpose of this was to not only create synergy with their own brand name ‘Team Eleven’, but also provided a look and feel which is sleek and styl

  The Engineers In Production.   One of our recent on-site installations for our customer over at Tattershall Lake Country Park, for which we produced and fitted a 1000mm square bezel clock overlooking the swimming pool. This particular dial was produced and manufactured in the style of Art Deco, taking inspiration from an original 1920’s clock. The clock, although based on an existing design, had specific chosen colours by the customer, to give off the appropriate aesthetic. This dial was fitted with a CL200 Mechanism and a resynchroniser to ensure that the clock will change within appropriate seasonal time changes. Additionally, the dial was back illuminated allowing for visibility in both day and night-time. This clock is proudly displayed on the side of the building providing all staff and customers with accurate time any hour of the day.
