Zoe Baxter, Major Donor and Partnerships Executive at the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust, said: “We are incredibly grateful to iconsys for their generous support of our Gift a Day initiative and the time and expertise of their engineers.

"Their support will help us to continue delivering enriching educational opportunities and hands-on activities at Enginuity and demonstrates the vital role local businesses play in keeping our museums fun and engaging for visitors.”

 

Nick Darrall, Managing Director at iconsys, said: “Supporting the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust in the launch of their new initiative, Gift a Day, gives us a great sense of pride.

"We are so lucky to have these wonderful museums on our doorstep.

"I have visited the Trust’s museums many times with my own son, and he’s always excited and inspired by his visits, particularly Enginuity, which widens his mind and is great fun! 

“It’s great to support Enginuity, in particular, as its philosophy fits closely with our own at iconsys, in developing young and emerging talent, being the engineers of the future.

"We encourage other organisations to get onboard with the Gift a Day initiative, which will help the charity raise vital funds to run its museums.

"Providing this educational and fun space for the budding engineers of the future is seen by iconsys as both a business and social imperative”.

 

Additionally, iconsys has also sent three of its technical experts to Enginuity to spend time with curators helping to repair and maintain some of its popular interactives.
