Martyn Surridge
Project Manager












Mark (CV) has throughout his 37 years in exhibition design,
worked within or led teams that are leaders in their field: from
the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto and the Natural History Museum in London, to four visitor centres in Tunisia's new national parks and the Children's Museum in Cairo, Egypt.
The From the Beginning gallery in the Earth Galleries and
the major travelling exhibition Rhythms of Life at the Natural
History Museum, have both had very favourable press reviews together with a host of exhibition technological firsts. Mark has also completed many exhibitions for English Heritage, from castles (Carisbrooke, Conisbrough, Kenilworth, Battle,
Tintagel, Yarmouth and the award winning Bolsover Castle)
to the ancient monument of Avebury.
Contracts completed recently include the redisplay of the
Victorian Street in the Castle Museum, York called Kirkgate,
an exhibition about the Ice Age at the Yorkshire Museum,
Yarmouth Castle for English Heritage, work at the BBC
Broadcasting House in London and Clare Cottage. Current
work includes exciting projects in Southampton, the Tudor House and Gods House and in Leeds, Dr Rock's Lost Gallery
Mark has received a £150,000 SMART award from the DTI to develop a revolutionary new interpretation device, which could replace the standard audio tour. A version of this is now in
production - GuidA Rotate. See it in Oxford and Southampton
