“We are very pleased to be involved with the Priors Gate project. Being a Winchester-based company we know the Cathedral and the Close extremely well and these landmark gates are a very important feature. It’s great to be able to assist in some way with the restoration so that visitors for years to come can continue to enjoy and appreciate the wonderful craftsmanship from the 15th century.”

“I wanted to pass on our thanks. Our team and those we spoke to all really enjoyed the evening private view of Whales. I also want to pass on the thanks shared by our alumni relations team, who said that the guests they invited enjoyed it tremendously. They were full of praise of the event and its impact and acknowledged that it must have taken a lot of hard work to pull of the entire exhibit”
Professor Damon Teagle, Director Southampton Marine and Maritime Institute
