LTR Scores Aston Villa Contract
Leicester based LTR Lifts and Escalators has scored a major new contract
of premier proportions and is to assist in the major renovation project
of Birmingham based Premier League football club, Aston Villa's famous
Holte hotel, located on the stadium site.
LTR, located in Hinckley, has been awarded the prestigious contract
by ISG InteriorExterior, the management contractor on the job.
Reportedly part of the ongoing strategy to 'give back to the fans',
created under the new club ownership of Randy Lerner, the project will
see the historic Holte hotel, which dates back to the 19th century and
was once a focal point at Villa Park, restored to its former glory after
being derelict for many years. The Victorian-style building is to be
totally transformed, with the exterior restored to its original style,
while the internal shell is to be completely gutted and rebuilt with
new furnishings, a new pub/lounge area and further facilities to accommodate
match days, social events and other functions.
In order to enable easy transportation throughout the extensive building
that comprises of four storeys, LTR is to supply and install an 8-person
passenger lift in a deal worth £30,000.
Neil Edmonds at ISG InteriorExterior comments: "We have worked
with LTR on quite a number of projects now and as we are always pleased
with their ability to install lifts to tight deadlines we decided to
approach them for this contract."
Alan Dunkley, managing partner at LTR comments: "Obviously, Aston
Villa is highly recognised and respected not just in the UK but throughout
the whole world, and we are highly honoured to be part of this important
new development for the club. We believe that this prestigious contract
is a testimony to the professionalism, efficiency and dedication provided
by LTR over recent years and proves that, much like the club itself,
we really are curerntly at the top of our game."
Having commenced in November last year, the renovation project is to
be completed in May 2007.
