Westridge will carry out weatherproofing and drainage works to protect and conserve the historic Grade I and Grade II listed buildings.

The major refurbishment of the Corn Exchange and Studio Theatre is the first phase of a wider project to regenerate Brighton鈥檚 Royal Pavilion Estate.

Kent-based Durtnell, which traces its roots back to 1591, has since been saved with Durtnell鈥檚 creditors agreed to a debt repayment plan known as a company voluntary arrangement.
