Overview

Sharps Workplace Services was entrusted by David Morris London, a world-renowned fine jeweller, to support a high-profile exhibition at the historic Tower of London. With only a one-hour setup window between public closing and guest arrival, our team executed a precise and time-critical operation. The relocation included delivery, setup, and retrieval of delicate exhibition equipment, with added logistical complexities due to the heritage venue.

Project Scope

  • Event Location: Tower of London
  • Setup Window: One hour between public closure and guest arrival

Services Delivered:

    • Project consultancy and logistics planning
    • Equipment retrieval from Sharps storage and the client’s HQ
    • Timed delivery and installation at venue
    • Dismantling and post-event retrieval
    • Secure storage and returns
    • Facilities management support

Pre-Move Planning

A strategic planning meeting was held between our Prince2-certified Project Manager and the client’s event planning team. All logistical elements were reviewed, including:

  • Specific items required from Sharps’ storage
  • Equipment collection from the client’s central London HQ
  • Venue access limitations and time constraints
  • Post-event dismantling and return procedures

The entire team received a detailed briefing to ensure awareness of timelines, site access conditions, and item handling protocols.

Execution & On-Site Logistics

  • All equipment was retrieved and loaded from storage, and collected from HQ during the working day
  • The team arrived at the Tower of London ahead of schedule to maximise setup time
  • Despite the constraints of the heritage venue, all items were carried up multiple flights of stairs and installed within the critical one-hour window
