Sigmat were appointed by main contractor RG Carter at the hotel which is due to open later this year.

David Ellison, Head of Business Development for Sigmat, said: “Light Gauge steel framing is an ideal solution for projects of this type.

“We have a proven track record in the hotel sector and we are close to double figures for the number of projects competed so far for the Travelodge brand.

“By manufacturing and assembling the panels offsite in readiness for a rapid onsite installation, we ensure that the project can get off to a flying start in terms of the final build.

“We will project manage everything associated with the installation of the frame, working closely with the Construction team at RG Carter to enable them to commence with follow-on trades at their earliest opportunity.”
