Natural History Museum Named Top UK Tourist Attraction

It is fantastic to see that The Natural History Museum has been named the UK´s most popular tourist attraction, in a story by the BBC.

We were very lucky to be part of the install of their "Whales: Beneath the surface" exhibition in 2017.

"Hope", the 25-metre blue whale skeleton was suspended from the ceiling of the Hintze Hall, replacing much loved Diplodocus "Dippy".

Our team assembled, engineered and manufactured bespoke Stainless Steel Wire Rope for this major project. Each individual cable was created in house, produced precisely to length, with end fittings swaged to the exact angle specified.
