Kingkraft sets sail at the Mary Rose Museum

The Mary Rose Museum in Portsmouth is the most exciting attraction to open this year and Kingkraft managed to have a look around before it was open to the public!

Back in March it took our engineers two hours to get through security procedures at the old naval base in order to install a Wall Mounted Changing Table into their Changing Places Facility. And they managed to get a sneak peak at some of the artefacts on display...

I arrived at the main security offices at the front of the naval base at 8.00am and was waiting for an hour and a half going through check in and security passes. Eventually someone turned up to take me to the museum. I followed him in my van for a mile passing warships, frigates and other ships that were docked. After parking up I realised the Mary Rose was no where to be seen as there was no parking at the museum! I then had to load the Changing Table onto a minibus which took me to the entrance. Before I finally got down to work I had to have a quick induction. Whilst I was installing the product a 500 year old Tudor ship was at one side of me and a military band practising at the other. After completing the job I admired the ship for a while and gave some pointers to the band before being led back to the entrance. It was a very surreal day at work but probably one of my most enjoyable despite the long waits and security checks.
