Congratulations from Carigiet Cowen to Michal Pemberton, Bill Graham and all the team at BEC for their input in unveiling the latest part of Whitehaven's regeneration programme – LEVELS, a £4.6m immersive education and entertainment development

Located on Duke Street, the centre includes immersive digital and gaming experiences, an e-sports arena, a cafe and interactive learning spaces across four floors, aimed at engaging young people, their families and educators.

Michael Pemberton, chief executive at BEC, said: "LEVELS is about real-world opportunity and the future. We wanted to create something bold that gives young people access to digital experiences and world-class technology while also breathing new life into Whitehaven town centre. Developed as part of our ongoing long-term commitment to regenerating Whitehaven, the opening marks yet another milestone in the town's transformation. We are proud to see it unveiled and open its doors to the community. This is a huge celebratory moment for our team, partners and funders."

Sellafield Ltd, through its Social Impact Multiplied scheme (SiX), has contributed £3.3m towards the development, with a further £800,000 from BT and £500,000 from BEC.

Another significant investment to be proud of – well done BEC & partners !!
