A 60 PER CENT rise in revenue has been reported by York-based theme park and museum attraction creator Paragon Entertainment.

In a trade update the business revealed that turnover to the year end December 31, 2013, increased from £6.1 million in 2012 to £10 million.

With a year end cash balance of £930,000 and an order book for 2014/15 already at £10.2 million, Paragon bosses say they look forward to driving growth and value for shareholders.

The Paragon group is split into three divisions; Creative, Attractions, and Leisure and Licensing.

Last year the Creative division successfully completed on more than 20 major projects, including the Olympics Museum, where Paragon delivered the £7 million project on time, and within budget, plus the Eureka Children’s Museum, Twickenham Rugby Museum and Mint Street.
