Richard Towers
General Manager
How long have you worked in the print industry?
I have worked in the industry for more than 15 years, before then I applied my trade in many areas from a Mechanic to an owner of a fast food Outlet.
What’s the most memorable project you’ve worked on at Fastsigns?
I have worked on many projects during my time with Fastsigns Peterborough, however, the complete rebrand of Burghley House is a favourite. A historic site in Stamford, we produced over 70 different signs, graphics and car decals. Working alongside a design agency who created the artwork, we produced fantastic and impactful signage for the estate.
What is your favourite holiday destination?
Here in the UK, I really enjoy visiting the Suffolk coast, it's a very beautiful place. However, my favourite travel abroad is to the very beautiful European country of Italy. Italy is steeped in culture and fantastic scenery but just as important to us as a family is the amazing food and wine on offer in every street.
Do you have a favourite Film?
This is quite a hard question for me, as I really don't watch a lot of films, however, it has to be The Longest Day, an epic American war film based on Cornelius Ryan’s 1959 book about the D-Day landings at Normandy.
The Longest Day featured a large cast including John Wayne, Kenneth Moore, Richard Todd and Sean Connery to name a few. The film won two Academy Awards and was nominated for three others. A definite one to watch Kerry!
