Hollywood Monster is experiencing a business boost as the property sector booms across Britain increasing the demand for high quality signage and hoardings.
The signs company is also working with housing developers such as Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes as more residential developments get off the drawing board and construction begins.
Hollywood Monster’s recent investment of more than £1 million in state-of-the-art digital printing technology is one of the reasons it is gaining so much new business.
Managing director Tim Andrews said property related business once accounted for around 20% of the company’s workload. In recent months it has rocketed to around 50% of its business.
He said, ‘Traditionally, we have always worked with companies in the property sector but during the recession the number of developments dropped dramatically and we had to find work in other, more buoyant, sectors.
‘Thankfully, the property market has bounced back very strongly and the number of new projects reaching the development stage is amazing, with many more in the pipeline. It’s fantastic to see the sector recover so well and it has led to a big influx of new business for us. The downturn saw our property accounts fall to around 20% of our business but now we are standing at close to 50%, so there has been a quite dramatic increase.’
The company has invested heavily in printing technology enabling it to produce enormous banners and advertising hoardings at high-profile sites including sports stadiums, festivals, rock and pop concerts, shopping centres and property developments.
