Hollywood Monster roars into London
SPECIALIST printer Hollywood Monster is expanding from the second city to the capital to exploit new growth opportunities.
The Tyseley firm said the London market warranted the firm having a dedicated operation solely serving the city.
The expansion is a key aspect of the company’s plan to grow 20% year on year and it has forecast it will open a sales and projects office in Central London by early 2017.
Hollywood Monster is one of the largest wide format printers and signage companies in the UK and has already completed several large contracts in London.
Leading this team is Oli Barton, who moved to London last April and was appointed Hollywood Monster’s Business Development Manager in December.
He said: “I hope to continue the growth demonstrated by Hollywood Monster in London, the world’s most exciting city, and deliver long term value with more people becoming aware of the award winning service the business is renowned for.”
Mr Barton’s team will be responsible for identifying new clients and opportunities for growth in the retail construction, development, and sport & leisure sectors across the city, adding to the company’s already significant list of London-based clients.
Hollywood Monster’s projects include the revamp of the Westfield London shopping centre, a red and gold banner for Piccadilly Circus last autumn and a festive display at Marble Arch.
The company has also completed work for Transport For London on the London Underground.
Simon McKenzie, Sales Director at Hollywood Monster, said: “We are really proud of the work that we’ve completed so far in London, particularly because each job has been so unique.
“We gave Westfield London a monster makeover, bringing a splash of colour to the somewhat grey English summer, but then not even six months later we helped Samsung create a 100 metre advent calendar in time for the Christmas countdown. The work we do is never the same and I’m looking forward to seeing what other innovative projects we can bring to life in London.”
One of the largest jobs saw Hollywood Monster give the ExCeL centre a makeover in time for an event by information technology giants, HP. The fit-out included the production and installation of hoardings, exhibition stands, floor signage, banners and large external vinyls for the ‘Discover 2015’ talks.
