  • Deliver all aspects of sales, marketing and delivery of conferences and events
  • Work in partnership to grow the business on an annual basis including working together on marketing our public programme and staff development for both parties
  • We're seeking capital investment to further improve the offer
  • We're a museum first and any offer must work in harmony with our pubic offer to approx. 1M annual visitors and ensure our collection is protected at all times.

On 21st March 2017 at 9:15am we're inviting interested parties to have a site tour to help evaluate the potential. The tour will start at M Shed (BS1 4RN) reception followed by Bristol Museum & Art Gallery (BS8 1RL).The tour will be done by Zak Mensah, Head of Transformation. The two locations are approx 20mins walk apart and you may wish to drive between venues. The tour will finish by 11:30am.
