Hospitality · Manchester
For almost a decade, one of the most prestigious and expensive buildings in Manchester was laying empty, until being converted into a hotel in 1996. Twenty-three years later, The Principal hotel was refurbished, and we were tasked by our client to carry out the re-framing project. We were required to work on-site, remove existing frames from each guestroom, swap the artwork, and reinstall the frames. It was a significant undertaking given the fact that the frames, almost 1100 in total, were mostly large but also within a very short timescale.

For almost a decade, one of the most prestigious and expensive buildings in Manchester was laying empty, until being converted into a hotel in 1996. Twenty-three years later, The Principal hotel was refurbished, and we were tasked by our client to carry out the re-framing project. We were required to work on-site, remove existing frames from each guestroom, swap the artwork, and reinstall the frames. It was a significant undertaking given the fact that the frames, almost 1100 in total, were mostly large but also within a very short timescale.
Not only were we successful, working with the hotel’s management and staff to seamlessly replace all artwork while the hotel was still running, but we also undertook additional unplanned work restoring damaged old frames by cleaning and reinforcing them, which ultimately resulted in the additional scope of over 150 frames for public areas.
