It’s been over eighteen months since we were originally approached by Imogen Stuart and Philip O’Neill in relation to Imogen’s design for the new Ambo for St Mel’s Cathedral in Longford. During this period we were involved with detailed planning in relation to transport, access to the Cathedral and fixing methodology which included numerous visits to both Philips workshop and the cathedral itself, on the 14th of November 2014 the Ambo was successfully erected on the high altar of the restored cathedral to the satisfaction of all involved.

For almost two decades now  we have taken responsibility for the transport and erection of numerous delicate works of art by both Imogen and Philip erecting pieces in schools, hospitals, churches, private residents,  art galleries and public realms across Ireland, following the success of this their most recent work we now look forward to their next challenge.
