31st May, 2022

We are delighted to share that Fraser Randall has secured the role of Exhibition Project Manager to help deliver a new world-class Museum of London to be renamed The London Museum, within a series of historic market buildings at West Smithfield.

John Brockwell, Managing Director, Fraser Randall says “As one of the most significant cultural projects happening in London, if not anywhere in Europe, it is with immense pride that the Fraser Randall team has secured this crucial role. Having worked with the client previously, we know this project will be something culturally meaningful and we can’t wait to get started”.

The wider plans for The London Museum seek to preserve and restore the old Victorian market buildings in order to house a broader and more diverse range of exhibitions and activities, with the aim of attracting millions more visitors.

Field of Cloth of Gold

26th July, 2019

Fraser Randall are pleased to be appointed as Project and Cost Managers for the forthcoming exhibition on the Field of Cloth of Gold at Hampton Court Palace opening in April 2020.

In the words of Historic Royal Palaces;

‘In June 2020, it will be 500 years since Henry VIII of England and Francis I of France met near Calais for a Grand European Summit. Designed to improve relations between the two kingdoms, the princes enjoyed a fortnight of; feasts, tournaments, masquerades and religious services. So extravagant was the affair that it became known as the “Field of Cloth of Gold”. From Easter 2020 Hampton Court Palace will host a special exhibition to mark the event. You will be transported back to 1520 as they explore surviving artworks, objects and documents from the event itself and meet the key characters from the rival courts of Tudor and Valois’.

Fraser Randall’s Fab Five

7th June, 2019

As we enter in into a new era for Fraser Randall under a new leadership team, we have sat and reflected back on over 30 years of Managing The Remarkable and asked the team which are their, most memorable and proud moments of working at Fraser Randall. Everyone was given 3 votes and we had a long list of projects from block busters at the V & A to trains, planes and automobiles exhibited at the Transport Museum, IWM and the British Motor Museum. However, there were a clear five projects which were considered by the team to be the most fabulous based on their innovation, design and the final end result. So, in chronological order, drum roll please….

1. Churchill Museum - Every challenge overcome: logistical, stakeholder, technical and operational. Still the reference point for visitor interactivity.

2. Weblab, Science Museum - Technically boundary pushing. To achieve and maintain operational sustainability is an immense management credit.

3. First World War Galleries, IWML - Described by the Telegraph as ‘new, provocative and improved, the £40 million rebuild of the First World War Galleries & Atrium Spaces (in time to mark the centenary of the First World War’s outbreak ) – two years in the creation – integrate art into the story of 20th and 21st century warfare as never before’.

4. Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, V&A - This prize winning, record breaking exhibition sold over 48,000 tickets during its short 21 week run, and was recorded as the most visited exhibition in UK history.

5. Hide, Piccadilly - With a client brief to ‘create the best restaurant in London’. The result is a whole new expression of the everyday, revealed in surprising new ways.

It features the greatest number of individual pieces designed by McQueen and his collaborators seen together in one place - in excess of 240 items including over 60 new pieces and ‘London’, an additional section unique to the V&A.

‘Savage Beauty’ was brought together by a team of designers and consultants, many of whom worked closely with McQueen to realise his notorious fashion shows. The exhibition draws on a range of re-mastered fashion show footage and audio spanning McQueen’s career. This retrospective captures McQueen’s legendary flair for showmanship and theatricality, and due to unprecedented public demand Savage Beauty is rapidly becoming the most popular exhibition the V&A has ever hosted.
