A 1,000-strong fleet of vans used by workers carrying out
essential repairs and maintenance to homes across the UK has been
given a brand-new look - with a little help from a major West
Midlands signs company.
Lovell Respond - the response and planned maintenance business
of national affordable housing specialist Lovell - commissioned
Birmingham-based Hollywood Monster to re-brand 1,000 vans at key
depots in Wales, Scotland, and throughout England.
The vans, property of Connaught Partnerships when it went into
administration in September, were transferred to Lovell as a part
of the company's acquisition of an interest in the majority of
Connaught Partnerships' contracts and related assets.
The Connaught branding has now been removed and replaced with
Lovell and Lovell Respond branding - a major exercise for Hollywood
Monster's team. The company committed 10 fitters to work on the
contract for two months, completing around 100 vehicles per
week.
Hollywood Monster managing director Tim Andrews said:
"This was the biggest contract of its type for us and I am
pleased that we have been able to efficiently deliver the support
Lovell Respond needed to ensure that essential maintenance work has
been able to continue without interruption.
"It has been a massive challenge to rebrand 1,000 vehicles in a
relatively short space of time at locations as far afield as
Scotland, Wales, Plymouth and Norwich. As each of the new Lovell
contracts began, we had to react immediately. The project has
involved mass planning for the company and all departments have
been pulling together to ensure the job is perfect. Our
client has been impressed with our communication and fast
turnaround and we are determined to ensure this high level of
service continues."
The venture also includes a re-brand of numerous office
buildings in the form of exterior branding signage and interior
reception signage.
Lovell managing director Stewart Davenport said: "Keeping the
workforce on the road and able to deliver vital maintenance
services for our customers has been our priority. The support we
received from Hollywood Monster has been superb and we are
delighted with the new-look fleet." Lovell has its national head
office in Tamworth, Staffordshire, while the company's Midlands
regional office is in Birmingham.
