Olympic Museum Successful Opening
Paragon Entertainment Limited (AIM: PEL), the attractions design, production, fit-out and operations business, is pleased to announce that The Olympic Museum in Lausanne has been successfully reopened.
The Company's design and build subsidiary, Paragon Creative Ltd, was appointed in January 2012 following a formal tender process. Paragon was the main design development and fit-out contractor responsible for the exhibition.
Since signing the contract in 2012, Paragon Creative Ltd, has delivered the £7m project on time, and within budget.
Mark Pyrah, CEO of Paragon Entertainment said:
"Paragon Creative is a world-leader in the industry for visitor attraction design and build projects. The team were able to manage a complex, high-profile project, and deliver in a timely and cost effective manner to an outstanding level of quality. Working with a world-renowned organisation such as the IOC is a significant endorsement for the Group and its capabilities. Our expansion last year means that Paragon is now a very significant player."
Francis Gabet, Director of The Olympic Museum commented:
"We wanted a company that could help cement a true team effort and this is what we got. We required the project to be creatively driven by a main contractor but needed them to have the creative ability to control our ideas, content and budgets. This ability is hard to find in a main contracting company but this is where Paragon excelled."
