A total of 65 other firms, half of which are UK-based, have been informed they are in the running to work on the exciting leisure project.

It is the first major step of the business registration process that began over a month ago, whittling down the shortlist of almost 2,000 interested parties.

All of the businesses that have been contacted thus far could play an important role in moving The London Resort from conceptual design to concept refinement and schematic design.

PY Gerbeau, CEO of London Resort Company Holdings, said: “It is a day to celebrate British innovation and technological wizardry. Electrosonic, Katapult and Garmendale are all leaders in their fields and together we are on a journey to create our own slice of history by building the UK’s first next generation theme park.

“We will be the first theme park across Europe to be built from scratch in nearly 30 years [and] one of the only operationally carbon neutral parks in the world. And with our investment in sustainability and the environment, we will be beacon of what can be achieved when the environment, commerce and entertainment flourish together.”

Gerbeau also stressed the door is still open to businesses wanting to register their interest by simply providing details via The London Resort’s official website.
