Superclub will bring 80 extra jobs

ONE of Britain's biggest nightclubs, Oceana, which opens in Southampton later this month, will create 80 more jobs than first expected, taking the total number of staff to 200.
A staggering 4,000 clubbers - the largest capacity in the country, according to the club's owners Luminar Group - will party under one roof at the £7m venue when it opens at LeisureWorld on July 17.
Boasting five themed bars and three nightclubs under one roof, as well as Europe's largest dance floor, Oceana Southampton will replace the existing clubs Ikon and Diva. It is hoped the new venue will attract an older clientele and help improve LeisureWorld's reputation among city centre residents.
The superclub was to remain open until 4.30am, but Southampton police demanded that last drinks were served by 3am and the premises shut at 3.30am.

It's the largest of 13 such developments in the UK by Luminar, Britian's largest nightclub operator.
The jobs on offer range from 50 positions as door staff and security to 130 glass collectors, bar staff, promotional teams, cellar staff and spotters, who are charged with selecting the best dressed people in the queue for VIP treatment.
There are also ten management positions available.
Luminar general manager Bill Dearsley said the club would employ 130 people directly and then have more than 70 contract staff.
He said: "This is no back street bar.
It's a big venue.
"Oceanas all over the country have all done very well. This is the largest and we have high hopes for it."

The club is divided into different rooms, which all have different minimum age restrictions, 18+, 20+ and 25+ so for those who want to escape the youth they can. That's how.
That worked really well - didn't it?!

Come on Oceana! I can't wait for the ship to dock. Dont listen to these losers that diss the place, they're the ex sados from Ikon and spend their time knocking it and they know they'll be the first in the queue...wasters
