Construction firm builds with museum project

A construction firm has boosted its heritage sector presence with a museum contract.

Hobson & Porter is renovating and expanding the National Holocaust Museum.

Work will include a collections store extension in 19th-century cottages, a larger toilet block and new drainage.

The project comes after Hull-headquartered Hobson & Porter worked on a £5 million scheme to upgrade visitor spaces at the attraction, which is based in Laxton, Nottinghamshire.

Bosses say the follow-up scheme will be completed by the end of October.

Steve Musgrave, Hobson & Porter contracts manager, said: “We’re incredibly proud to be continuing our work with the National Holocaust Museum team and partners.

“Phase two builds on the structural improvements we've already delivered and focuses on the long-term sustainability and functionality of the site.”

Janet Mills, of the National Holocaust Museum, added: “These extensions and infrastructure upgrades are vital to our future growth.

“As we welcome thousands of schoolchildren and visitors annually, these enhancements reflect our commitment to education, remembrance and resilience.”
