Museums & Permanent Displays

Essence is an experienced museum/heritage fit-out contractor with an in-house specialist joinery workshop. Operating across the UK and Ireland we have assisted with the opening of many high profile museums, exhibitions and visitor centres.

Management = We have successfully managed all elements of a museum/exhibition fit-out – contractor design, general fit out, manufacture and installation of exhibition display structures, bespoke joinery and metalwork, graphics production, AV hardware integration, AV software creation, exhibition specific lighting and display cases.

Coordination = We have been responsible for the coordination of a range of specialist packages working closely with our supply chain partners and client nominated subcontractors such as showcase manufacturers, graphics, interactives and audio visual.

Manufacturing = Our in-house joinery manufacturing facility allows us to control the high quality of our bespoke joinery items. Our in-house joinery production facility, with the latest cutting edge equipment, differentiates us from our competitors. The ability to control the quality and manufacturing lead times means that we are more responsive and can react quickly to customer demands.

Installation = We have become a benchmark for a number of clients/designers as to how they judge the quality of work from their contractor base. During the installation stage we will work in conjunction with the client and design team to successfully meet the project completion date. Our experienced heritage team pride themselves on the quality of finished product and will conduct a thorough commissioning and handover to the client team.
