I was Development Director of Eureka! between 1984-1989.

Eureka! was the first children’s museum in the UK. It has been a significant contribution to the regeneration of Halifax.

I was responsible for:

• Defining and developing the concept of an interactive children’s centre (then a new concept in the UK)
• Taking the project to the Core Foundation to raise the first £5 million (subsequently extended to £7 million)
• Undertaking development appraisals for sites and buildings
• Developing the scheme design for the exhibition
• Creating the detailed exhibition database, including the exhibit transactions analysis
• Creating business, staffing and marketing plans
• Developing the Eureka! logo with Pentagram
• Forming the charity with SJ Berwin
