What our supporters have to say

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

HESCO Bastion Ltd
“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.”
