Host has now signed an agreement that binds the property company to build a new congress hall and renovate the hotel. Gisle Tangenes, project manager at Host Hotel Property, states that a thorough evaluation of contractors has been made to ensure that the project is delivered with quality, on time and on price. They chose the contractor Brixly and the hotel specialist Multimontage.

- I am very pleased to have two such strong entrepreneurs in the team. Brixly is a local entrepreneurial company from Skövde with long experience and strong delivery ability. Mulitmontage is a quality supplier in the hotel industry, and well known to us and who has known Host since previous projects, he says.
