Chartered accountants Clement Keys is celebrating a summer of
success with its long standing client Millennium Point and the IMAX
cinema.
Clement Keys has provided audit and accountancy services to the
Millennium Point group for 14 years which has experienced a
phenomenal year of sales at the IMAX cinema with a record breaking
17,750 cinema ticket sales in August alone.
Clement Keys' partner Simon Atkins said: "The IMAX was a pioneer
of 3D films when we first began working with Millennium Point. It
is fantastic to see them reaping the rewards now that 3D has become
so popular."
Sir Bernard Zissman, Millennium Point Trust Chairman, comments:
"3D cinema has grown exponentially this year throughout the UK, and
we have certainly seen this reflected in the visitor numbers at
IMAX. Almost 24,000 people have watched Toy Story 3 in 3D at IMAX
since it opened here in July."
Karen Steed, Millennium Point's Director of Finance adds:
"Clement Keys' long term relationship with us enables us to operate
effectively in achieving our financial objectives and ensures that
the Group is in compliance with statutory reporting
standards.
"They have provided a consistent and reliable source of
financial advice and have been a vital part of the development of
Millennium Point utilising their professional expertise to support
our aims and objectives.
"Clement Keys has also provided excellent tax advice on some of
our complex tax issues."
Millennium Point is England's largest landmark Millennium
Project outside of London. It is home to Thinktank, Birmingham
Science Museum, the region's only IMAX cinema, part of Birmingham
City University, plus a wide range of commercial tenants. The
development welcomes over one million visitors each year.
The IMAX is expecting the success to continue as it has a
variety of forthcoming 3D films set to run including Harry Potter
and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 (19 November), TRON Legacy (17
December) and over Christmas Polar Express and A Christmas
Carol.
