loan out original art-works for films and to the BBC and other important

required continous maintenance and care during production, on many

high profile films, such as, the 'Harry Potter' and 'James Bond' series of films.

stately houses - Conserving 'Marouflage' Mural Paintings, to the walls and

ceilings which were painted by Louis Laguerre, whose artwork can be found

which are world renowned.
