Maiden wins #20 million billboard contract for Manchester
Maiden Group plc, the outdoor advertising group announced today that it has won
the contract for Manchester City Council's large-format outdoor sites. The
contract, which Maiden will assume control of in the Autumn, will run for 10
years, and is expected to generate advertising revenues of #20 million.
Manchester currently has over 200 outdoor panels, most of which are 48-sheet
formats. Maiden plans to redevelop and invest in these sites from the
commencement of the new contract, with a total capital expenditure of
potentially #1.0 million.
As the second most important media market in the UK, Manchester is a significant
contract win and will strengthen Maiden's position as a leader in outdoor
advertising in the UK.
Ron Zeghibe, Chief Executive of Maiden said:
"This contract which was won against a strong and highly respected international
incumbent, will strengthen our national network and number 1 position in large
format sites across the UK. It will give advertisers access to the second
largest advertising market in the UK."
