Great feedback!

For us, a successful project is defined by visitors having a great experience whilst picking up interpretive messages. That is certainly the case at Eco Station in Hampshire where site staff have reported that visitors of all ages have been enjoying the interactive exhibits. The icing on the cake, is when we get positive feedback [...]

They make ‘em tough and beautiful in the South-Pennines

They want visits to their experiences to be memorable, not only for the things people learn, but also the means by which they learn.

Copper Kingdom

                I’ll let the pictures do most of the talking. Suffice it to say that I recently attended the official opening of the Copper Kingdom Centre at Porth Amlwch in Anglesey. Having worked very closely with the client team to develop the interpretive content, I feel I could [...]
