A SWINDON construction company gave clients and partners an exclusive preview of the new hospitality stand it has built at Salisbury racecourse.

The £1 million pound project by Swindon and Oxford based company E W Beard has a cruiseliner style design, which is aimed at giving spectators views of both the track and the paddock.

Mark Beard, managing director, said: "It was a lovely sunny day and our guests were thrilled to have the opportunity to look around the new stand and enjoy its unrivalled views over the course."

The new Wiltshire Stand holds 490 spectators and will be open in June. The stand features a ground-floor bar for owners and trainers, a Tote betting area, two first-floor 40-seater corporate boxes with spacious viewing balconies, and a rooftop open-air terrace bar.
