Signs of prosperity at local restaurant


Burton sign company, Hardy Signs, has completed its latest contract with extensive new signage for the Wing Wah restaurant in the Town. Having originally installed one of the largest


fascia’s in Burton, Hardy Signs has now extended the signage at the recently refurbished New Street restaurant, owned and operated by the Wing Wah Group. Stretching some 24 metres across the exterior


face of the popular restaurant, the distinctive Chinese lettering, which means Prosperity, is eye-catching by day, but especially by night. Using three-dimensional, built-up acrylic


letters, Hardy Signs has created an impressive feature. Within each individual letter, low-energy LED lighting systems have been employed to give full internal illumination. “On the face of it these signs look stunning – this is largely due to the complex electrical specifications in place to achieve the high intensity and bright colours” said Hardy Signs general manager, Tom Hardy. “We have utilised high-efficiency, low-energy LEDs and have introduced the latest translucent materials to create the desired effect.”

Mace keeps Wentworth safe


Burton’s fast growing electrical contractor Mace has just completed works for HK Wentworth on Ashby Business Park in Ashby de la Zouch. HK Wentworth is one of Europe’s leading


manufacturing companies in the fields of speciality chemicals, lubricants and resins production. The company has been in the process of re- locating part of its aerosol processing operations to Ashby. The group’s research and development facility ensures that industry and customer- specific demands are met with quality products manufactured to full EN ISO9001:2000 standards. The Mace team of engineers led by Eddie


Fuller worked across four rooms in a new temporary structure located on the site. The specialised installations of fire alarms and security systems completed by Mace Midlands are explosion proof to Zone 1 standards. “Our Zone 1 installations have significantly


impressed the client for them to now ask Mace Midlands to carry out additional works”, added Eddie Fuller.
