The major transformation of the only remaining part of Coventry’s Daimler car factory into a creative hub in time for UK City of Culture 2021 has been completed on time and on budget by Advent clients Warwickshire-based property, development and construction company The Wigley Group.
The project milestone was covered by BBC TV and radio, well as the local and regional press and a wide range of outlets in the performing arts and business sectors.
Imagineer Productions, who will run the hub, commissioned aerialists Luka Owen and Daniel Connor who with the help of a fork lift truck took the keys from Robert Wigley, chairman of The Wigley Group, which owns the building, to Roger Medwell, Imagineer’s chairman.
