A Falmouth-based company will be playing a key role in the new signage and interpretation scheme which will be rolled out across Truro.

After a thorough tender process involving the Totally Truro Business Improvement District (BID)and business representatives from the City of Truro, the contract for the scheme was awarded to

Truro-based agency, Wolf Rock Marketing who will work in partnership with Falmouth-based 20/20 to implement the first phase of the new signage project, which is call Connected Truro.

Phil Gendall, Wolf Rock’s creative director said: “As a business based directly within the centre of Truro, we are delighted to be working on such an important project that will enhance the enjoyment of this great little City not only for visitors but locals and businesses alike.”

The scheme will include new welcome and information signs at key access areas, information monoliths and directional signage around the city centre.

Phil added: “Good signage has to work on multiple levels, serving to orientate visitors, but also encouraging them to wander and explore the opes, markets and riverside walks.”

Once design ideas have been worked up in the coming weeks, Totally Truro will be consulting businesses and the public on proposed designs and locations for signage before implementation.

Alun Jones, Totally Truro BID manager, said: "We are delighted to be working with Wolf Rock and 20/20. Both companies have great local reputations and previous examples of signage projects in the county. The objective of the BID is to support reinvestment back into the city centre and this project will deliver that along with local employment and of course the project objective of improving the navigation for our visitors around the city centre.

“Once we have a mock up version of the signs we will actively seek feedback from our local businesses and the passing public by holding a drop in and comment stand on Lemon Quay in due course, this stage will be vital in order to progress the project with confidence that the finished design meets with the collective expectations of the people of Truro.”
