Harrisons Signs gets Nestle floating on air
Harrison Signs has installed a complex floating signage structure at Nestle's UK headquarters in Derbyshire

The impressive steel structure measured approximately 1.75m in height
The mirror polished stainless steel replica of Nestle's logo was part of a £110m revamp of the food company's site.
The complexity came from the fact that the heavy letters, which were 1.75m tall, had to float without any visible fittings on a wall built with plants that was already under construction.
Harrisons Signs' Richard Harrison quipped that it was important the letters were 'strong enough' to support any revellers from a local pub who may view them as a climbing frame.
The firm was supplied with components for the letters and fixing arms by supplier Applelec for the project, which saw it create a frame system behind the wall to support the letters.
It then installed 32 fixing arms, which were screwed and welded into the frame, while leaving enough space to allow for plant maintenance.
