LEISURE group Vimac has gained a foothold north of the border after the relaunch of its first venue in Scotland.
The Boldon-based business, which also owns Durham nightspots Cafe Rock and DH1, along with the Crab Manor Hotel, in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, bought Victoria's nightclub and cabaret venue in Glasgow last year.
It has invested more than £500,000 in revamping the venue.
Coronation Street star Brian Capron, who played evil Richard Hillman, was the special guest at the official re-launch of the venue's cabaret and piano rooms.
Further refurbishment work will be carried out during the coming year.
Paul Mackings, managing director of Vimac Leisure, said: "Our refurbishment was aimed at enhancing, rather than changing, what is already an extremely successful concept, and I think that we have done that.
"We are now looking at ways to bring the same kind of fresh energy to our Durham venues, with a similar investment in DH1 and Cafe Rock."
