HMG Paints chose to commemorate Remembrance Day by painting an eyecatching poppy on a 25ft battleship sculpture positioned on site. The steel structure is the work of Manchester-based artist Jonathan Woolfenden and has been a familiar local landmark outside the HMG factory for 22 years. Representing 'emergence', the vessel- nicknamed The Dreadnowt - is based on the Dreadnought battleships that were an integral weapon of the Royal Navy's military fleets throughout World War One. HMG Paints will keep the poppy design emblazoned on the battleship until November 2018, marking a century since the end of World War One.
