Press Release: Sign company completes contract

One of the city’s top sign makers is aiming to help a hotel become a soaring success.
Eagle Signs, based in Barn Close at Langage Business Park, Plympton, secured the contract to install new signage at the newly-named Legacy Plymouth International Hotel in Marsh Mills, Plymouth.
The company, which celebrates its 50th anniversary next year, has produced and replaced all the internal and external signs with the Legacy Hotels and Resorts’ branding at the 100-bedroom hotel.
Phil Briant, director at Eagle Signs, said the work had been completed in two weeks.
“Our close proximity to the hotel has been ideal for project managing the contract and overseeing the installation,” he said.
“We had four members of staff on site changing all the internal signs which included poster displays, glazing manifestation, fire evacuation information signs and general housekeeping notices on the back of each bedroom door.
“The largest sign to install was on the roof of the hotel. It was just over ten metres long and 2.2 metres high with each of the large letters being 1.3 metres high.
“The letters are made out of acrylic which is a highly skilled process involving heating the acrylic and forming it to the letter shapes. They are illuminated using energy efficient LED modules.
“This project has enabled us to draw on our experience in every aspect of signage and we completed the work within the two-week deadline.
“It has made a significant difference to the hotel’s frontage and we wish Legacy Hotels every success in the future.”
Andy Townsend, chief executive of Legacy Hotels and Resorts, said the company was enjoying operating and managing the Legacy Plymouth International Hotel.
“When a hotel joins Legacy Hotels and Resorts, there is always a certain amount of signage work that needs completing straight away and we were pleased to be able to employ a nearby company that is highly skilled in this area,” he said.
“The sign on the roof is a public declaration of our arrival in Plymouth and the region because this is an area we are working to increase our presence in.
“Everyone has been very welcoming and we are looking forward to becoming an integral part of the business community in the city.”
