King Lifting thanks all NHS and frontline workers with gigantic sign erected 50 metres high

The sign has been made to thank all NHS and frontline workers for supporting the UK through the COVID-19 pandemic. It is elevated into the sky by a 90 tonne mobile crane in Bristol which can be seen from the M5 motorway at Avonmouth. In the forthcoming weeks a sign will also be erected in London.

We also wish to thank all of our staff who are working and supporting the UK infrastructure and construction sectors in these challenging times.
