This includes internal refurbishment repairs to the Congress and Devonshire Park Theatres. Internal refurbishment repairs to Winter Garden and remodelling of its front entrance as well as redecoration of tennis pavilion and creation of new show court.

Ian McFarlane, Palmers Business & Project Development Director added: “Being pre-qualified as a second tier sub-contractor enables us to quickly be able to meet the needs of the UK’s top principal contractors and suppliers on top fast-track construction projects like this UK Devonshire Park job in Eastbourne.”
