The Matchstick Man

Located in Salford, The Matchstick Man is a popular local pub known for its welcoming atmosphere and great outdoor seating. As part of their ongoing improvements, the venue sought to enhance its outdoor space, providing guests with a comfortable area to enjoy drinks and meals while maintaining a smart, branded appearance.

The Challenge for The Matchstick Man

The pub’s existing outdoor area lacked structure and visual appeal, making it less inviting to passing customers. The goal was to create a more defined space that looked professional, reflected the brand, and offered a pleasant experience for guests — all while being durable and practical for daily use.

Our Solution

To bring the space together, we supplied and installed custom banner barriers featuring The Matchstick Man’s branding. These versatile barriers not only create a clear boundary between the seating area and public walkway but also act as an effective marketing tool, displaying the pub’s name proudly to attract new customers.

Their sturdy design makes them ideal for busy hospitality environments, while the sleek finish adds a polished look to the outdoor setup. The installation was quick and seamless, instantly improving both aesthetics and functionality.

The Result

The new banner barriers have transformed the outdoor area into a more organised and eye-catching space. Guests can now relax in comfort, and the pub benefits from greater visibility and brand recognition. The overall effect is a space that feels cohesive, welcoming, and ready for year-round use.
