GMP Design gets Caribbean night club gig

RUGELEY-based GMP Design has won a contract to carry out a million pound transformation of a night club in Guyana.

The major revamp is for the Coco Night Club and Sports Bar in Guyana’s capital, Georgetown.

The club, in the fashionable Alberttown district of the capital, will have illuminated pillars, gold panelled bar fronts, a light feature linking the bar to a roof terrace with a colour-changing fountain, and a roof aquarium.

GMP Design, on the Towers Business Park, was established by Rugeley businessman Neil Morten 20 years ago. It has become one of the UK’s leading bar, restaurant and club interior design companies, with major contracts throughout the UK, Europe and the Far East.

The company has worked on numerous concepts and venues around the world including the international rollout of the world famous Ministry of Sound nightclubs, with venues in Bangkok, Singapore, Egypt, London and Taiwan.

Morton said: “This is a great contract to get, and testament to the international reputation of GMP design. Who would have thought that clubbers dancing into the small hours in this exotic Caribbean venue would be surrounded by designs and concepts that originated in Rugeley.”
