Whitby Abbey project significant milestone for Marcon

Marcon, a fit-out specialist based in Northern Ireland has been appointed by English Heritage to complete a site-wide interpretation scheme at Whitby Abbey, North Yorkshire.

Located on the Whitby headland, the dramatic abbey is an iconic landmark that inspired the setting for Bram Stoker's Dracula, as well as provided inspiration for other literary icons including Lewis Carroll, JWM Turner and Caedmon.

Working closely with London-based design firm Drinkall Dean, Marcon were responsible for completing the detail development, manufacture and delivery of the museum's visitor centre, which will include graphics, AV hardware and the co-ordination of all work-packages.

Mark O'Connor, director of Marcon, says: "The sheer variety of projects within the heritage fit-out sector makes it a challenge and really enjoyable industry to work in."

"Securing our first project with English Heritage is a significant milestone for the company and we are looking forward to working with the entire project team to complete the new exhibition at Whitby Abbey."
