STAFF at a Portland business played a central role in the creation of the £1million Adventure Island attraction at Weymouth Sea Life Park.

Creative Solutions Theming & Interiors (T&I), which is based at Southwell Business Park, was responsible for the construction of the 25ft wooden centrepiece Eight Bells Tower and themed elements.

Director Richard Hale said: "So much work has gone into the construction and theming of the tower, it feels like a work of art.

"We are really proud of our team who have managed to produce such fantastic results with our theming throughout Adventure Island."

The display was constructed to look like a ramshackle bell tower which appears to be constructed from an old shipwreck. Two buckets fill with water and periodically tip over expectant children below.

With each cascade the bells rings out a warning to all who stand too close to the tower.

Financial Director Amy Corben Hale added: "It has been a fantastic challenge for all involved in creating and completing this project."

Creative Solutions is also an interior designer and was recently contracted to undertake and design the Orchid restaurant and swimming pool at Southwell Spa development.
