NEW signage has been installed at the Holsworthy Industrial Estate following requests from businesses.

Torridge District Council has provided the majority of the funding and further contributions have been received from Holsworthy Town Council and 65% of the businesses on the estate.

The new signage is colour-coded and will help visitors and deliveries to find businesses.

The old signage was put in place more than 20 years ago and had become out-dated and referred to by some as an eyesore.

A questionnaire was sent to all businesses by Mystery Shoppers in November 2013 and an over-whelming amount of those returned agreed that new signage was needed.

The signage installed by Jag Signs provides a new main entrance sign and seven directional signs with business names on each.
