A CONTRACT worth more than £150,000 for a new hotel complex has been won by a Burnley fabrics firm.

Panaz, which specialises in flame-retardant fabrics for curtains and upholstery, won the order for the Vivaldi Hotel in Malta.

The firm will supply and install fabrics for the hotel's 220 bedrooms and suites and all public areas.

The hotel, near the capital Valletta, is part of the international Golden Tulip group.

Panaz is a leading firm in the hotel and leisure market.

Two years ago, the firm won the Queen's Award for export achievement.
