Hollywood Monster to re-open business early following customer demand

Hollywood Monster, the signs and banners designer and manufacturer, is to re-open its Birmingham base earlier than planned, following customer demand for its products.

The firm announced on March 22 that it was shutting until the end of April to protect its 70 staff and their families in the face of the coronavirus outbreak.

However, owner Tim Andrews has now said a small team will be back at work on weekdays, starting on Monday 20 April.

Posting of Facebook, Andrews said: “Due to increased demand from our frontline clients we have take the decision to open every day, Monday to Friday, with a small crew of multi-skilled staff that we have taken off furlough.

“All staff are working safely 10 metres apart and following Government guidelines.

“Thank you to our loyal customers for sending us what they can – we appreciate it massively.”
