Principle Contract Carries out Full Refurbishment Without Interrupting a Single Castle Bingo Game

Previously owned by another bingo chain, Castle Leisure’s Bingo Bootle club was in desperate need of a makeover. On behalf of the client, HLN Architects asked Principle Contract to carry out a full interior and exterior refurbishment. When Castle Leisure acquired the Bootle club it was tired and dreary and had not been updated in nearly 15 years. The new owner was keen to bring the club up to Castle Bingo brand standard and improve the leisure experience for club members.

The brief included reconfiguring the layout to incorporate raised seating areas, a VIP balcony room 5-star standard washrooms, new carpeting and seating and reception, sales and service counters. Principle Contract was also tasked with mechanical and electrical works and a variety of alterations as well as full redecoration both inside and out. Principle Graphics added extra value with door and glazing graphics and logos for balustrades and panels doors. Principle Secure also contributed by providing a secure Cash Pass Screen between the Cash Office and Cash Counting Room. From initial contact to the final handover, design and construction took just 26 weeks. Yet perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the project was that Principle fulfilled the entire job without disrupting the club’s normal, daily business. Castle Bingo Bootle’s metamorphosis continued seamlessly, carefully accommodating the needs of both Castle Leisure staff and members, and fulfilling any noisy or intrusive works out of hours.

Now dubbed by its delighted members as the “best looking bingo club in Liverpool”, Castle Bingo Bootle offers enhanced quality and service levels and a fresh, vibrant leisure experience. Jayne Benyon, Castle Leisure’s Operations Executive, told Principle, “We are extremely pleased with the relationship we have with all of your team. The dedication and commitment shown to us is a great credit to you all. You will certainly be invited to tender for future refurbishment projects and we look forward to working with you, long into the future.” Jeff Harris, CEO of Castle Leisure Ltd, was also delighted with the club’s transformation. He said, “Principle has done a fantastic job: we couldn’t be more pleased!” For more information on the Principle Group please visit http://www.principleglobal.com.
