Project scope
Relocate The Manchester Museum
Our key task
The preparation, casing, and relocation of a diverse range of artefacts within the Museum's collection.
The Manchester Museum is unique among English university museums, possessing a worldwide collection of both the natural sciences and humanities. These include botany, zoology, geology, antiquities, ethnography, archery, and numismatics. They possess over five million specimens and artefacts, all of which have been designated.
Careful preparation to move precious, rare artefacts
The project included the careful preparation, casing and relocation of a diverse range of artefacts within the collection. These included mummies, a 25' long Inca canoe, a 20' tall plaster of paris cross, a Buddha, butterflies, and a large stuffed buffalo.
To ensure no harm came to the pieces, our staff wore protective gloves, as well as utilising specialist wrapping materials such as acid-free tissue. It was necessary to build bespoke wooden cases for selected items, with tilt stickers to ensure their safe transit.

Nothing was ever too much of an ask for them

Hi, Piers
Just wanted to let you and the bosses at BCL know that George, Dave, Mike and the boys were absolutely top class this week.
They put in a proper shift for us. Nothing was ever too much of an ask for them. They sorted loads of little jobs out in-between all the massive ones. They were great with the staff too.
This was a potentially awkward move with it being to and from live sites, with another company doing the desks but they really smashed it and made the move go very smoothly.
Honestly couldn't have gone better.
Thanks, everyone.

Please pass on my thanks to everybody.

Can I just say how fantastic George and Steve have been sorting out the moves etc from the main building and the removal of the furniture off site.
Lot of stuff to shift, no lift and dealing with the demands of staff as well in hot weather – stars the pair of them!!!!
