LISW25 welcomes Royal Museums Greenwich as a heritage partner

Shipping Innovation, owner and manager of London International Shipping Week (LISW), and the Royal Museums Greenwich (RMG) have today announced a partnership that will see the RMG become a heritage partner of LISW25.

Royal Museums Greenwich incorporates the National Maritime Museum, the 17th-century Queen’s House, Royal Observatory Greenwich and the famous clipper ship Cutty Sark. This unique collection of museums and heritage buildings form a key part of the Maritime Greenwich UNESCO World Heritage Site and is also a major centre of education and research. The mission of Royal Museums Greenwich is to enrich people’s understanding of the sea, the exploration of space, and Britain’s role in world history.

Both parties have agreed to support each other to raise awareness of the important role Greenwich has played in the UK’s maritime history.

Under the agreement, LISW25 Sponsors and Supporting Organisations will be able to hire RMG’s spectacular venues – the Cutty Sark, Queen’s House, Royal Observatory and the newly reopened National Maritime Museum.

Sean Moloney, co-CEO and co-Founder of LISW, said: “We are delighted to be able to bring the splendour of the RMG to LISW25 and we will be encouraging stakeholders to take advantage of the facilities in Greenwich when planning their events. Whether you are visiting the National Maritime Museum, the historic ship Cutty Sark, the Royal Observatory, or the Queen’s House art gallery, the Royal Museums Greenwich will add an amazing level of lustre to what will be an extraordinary LISW25.”

Lucy Cooke, Head of Development and Events, from the RMG, added: ‘We are thrilled to be partnering with LISW25 to share all that Greenwich has to offer, aligning our maritime stories with present day industries to grow maritime skills and capital and celebrate the ocean. The breathtaking setting of our world-class hospitality venues creates unforgettable experiences for guests to enjoy outstanding maritime collections and network with colleagues and likeminded people’.
