Graduate Receives Award

Award Is From the New Mexico Small Business Development Center

The Small Business Development Center at Clovis Community College named Seth and Abigail Pritchett outstanding clients of the year. Mr. and Mrs. Pritchett, owners of Signman Signs, were honored in a special ceremony in February at the State Capitol.

Seth graduated from ENMU in 2005 with an art degree.

He and Abigail own and operate Signman Signs, a sign manufacturing company in Portales. The business has a long and rich history in the City of Portales, spanning approximately 35 years. The business built its reputation on hand-painted artistry and craftsmanship in signage.

Seth has taken the business to a new level that utilizes technology, such as specialized computer plotters to craft quality indoor and outdoor signs up to billboard size and vehicle graphics. The Pritchetts’ goal is to improve the appearance of advertisement in the area by using modernized applications and new technology, such as large screen LED signs. He is also pursuing the sculptor aspect of sign manufacturing.

Seth is in the process of completing the remodeling of his new facility. He expects to double his current personnel and expand his skills in the tool area that includes three-dimensional sculptures. Seth’s motto, which is an extension of the former owner’s, states, “People vote with their dollars.”

Seth strives to take care of his customers by providing quality products.

Seth was introduced at the New Mexico State Capitol Chamber Floor in February. The Pritchett family attended the 14th Annual New Mexico Small Business Development Center Day at the Legislature and Success Client Showcase.
