Working closely with principal contractor Wates Construction and English Heritage, SES is sympathetically installing modern services whilst retaining many of the Hall's original features.
SES has contributed a number of innovative solutions throughout the design and installation phases of this contract, and specialist issues such as acoustics have been carefully approached to ensure that 21st century technologies can be installed unobtrusively, and in keeping with the original design of the Grade 1 listed Hall.
The Great Organ, which has been extensively restored, has now been unveiled; a further signal towards the completion of the project.
