Supporters

The Royal Armouries would like to thank the following for their generous support:

Bayer Material Science “As a science company, it is crucial for us to invest in our scientists of the future from an early age. It would have been easy for us merely to provide financial support for the Royal Armouries to continue its good work, but we decided to go further by creating a dedicated science learning zone, full of hands-on exhibits and experiences, which will enable students to see how much material science is utilised in our daily lives. We are totally committed to this project and believe it has the right ingredients to benefit thousands of students now, and well into the future”.
Martin Sixsmith, Head of Bayer Material Science UK / Ireland

The History Channel “The partnership with the Royal Armouries has been of immense value to The History Channel. Hands on History at the Leeds museum and the Tower of London has been a strong platform for us to communicate our brand to a large and well targeted audience – as well as being a fantastic, fun, interactive exhibition! The History Channel and Royal Armouries have forged an excellent working relationship that fits both of our needs and we look forward to continuing the partnership in the future”.
Helen Connify, Partnership Marketing Manager

Hesco Bastion “The Observation Post is a great example of how the Royal Armouries presents the subject of weapons and warfare in an educational yet entertaining way, and HESCO Bastion Ltd is proud to sponsor such a project. We hope it will provide an important insight into the world of today’s soldiers, and highlight the role of our product in saving countless lives.”
