LIVERPOOL – TRAVELODGE OFFICIALLY OPENS

Liverpool Edge Lane Travelodge was formerly opened by Luciana Berger, MP for Liverpool Wavertree today . It is the company’s 581st hotel and its 15th in Merseyside.

The Triton team completely renovated the existing century old, four storeys building on the Innovation Park that was previously occupied by the prestigious Plessey’s and more recently Marconi before becoming vacant in 2006. Triton operated a seven days per week working schedule to completely strip out and refurbish the building and completed ahead of schedule, however further repair works were required after the reception area was destroyed by a disgruntled worker.

Steve Bolton, North West Operations Director at Triton Construction said, “The project was challenging in that we were working within a very tight timeframe to deliver the building in time for the Grand National at Aintree.  We had to work within the confines of the existing façade but cut through the internal structure to create new walls and stairways.  We also completed the entire fitout for the hotel and its 71 bedrooms as part of the contract for Travelodge.”
