Victoria Comet, Newcastle

THE rebranding of the historic Victoria Comet in Newcastle proved beyond doubt that only the best will do for Pacific Building whenever they take on a project.

The company was given a perfect score in a health and safety audit by clients Mitchells & Butlers during a surprise routine inspection.

Full marks go to site manager George Crighton and the project team who were in charge of the rebranding of the Victoria Comet.

The four-week fit-out saw the famous hostelry close for three weeks to allow extensive works to proceed that included the relocation of the kitchen to a different floor, the installation of a hoist, new flooring, screens, redecoration, fixed seating, a bar remodel, toilet upgrades and tiling works.
