\n\nAppearance isn’t everything when it comes to wiring. What matters most is the integrity of your build and how
effectively your wiring is implemented. But what if you’re building a new hotel and want it to look clean and pristine?
Or you’re sculpting an eye-catching art piece and don’t want wires taking pride of place on your work?
We know that strength and integrity shouldn’t compromise the appearance of wiring, a material that (unless otherwise stated by a client) should be as subtle as possible, disappearing in a structure like a chameleon on a rock.
Whether in an aesthetic context or not, your wiring should match its surroundings while still providing you with the optimal usability you’d expect.
To prove the point, we’ve come up with a few examples of some ideal places where our wire has been used, and the amazing ways that they’ve melded with the products they support.
Art and sculpture Being a top-grade artist isn’t solely about creating whatever’s in your head and crossing your fingers that people enjoy it. If you’re planning to make a large-scale sculpture, you’ll need the brains of an architect as well as the creative spirit of a true artist.
We’ve developed a strong relationship with many of the leading artists across the country, and they all turn to us to provide wiring that can support even the most elaborate structures they’ve devised.
A combination of stainless steel wire rope, micro-cables and brass ferrules, gripple rope grips and superclamps can be used to hold up (or hold in place) structures, allowing them to be suspended high in the air. To find out more, check out our blogs on the latest sculpture to be supported by us or take a look at our relationship with Barbara Franc and Thomas Heatherwick.
Building work Successful wiring is vital to the effective placement of many components of a great building, like the implementation of lighting, the building of certain mechanisms for windows and much more.
Many companies approach us needing the best wiring options for incredibly intricate projects. To give them a pointer, we’ve developed a series of white papers like this one for lighting, all of which detail how our wiring can be implemented without spoiling the aesthetics of your new building.
Special projects
Everything we’re asked to do is special, but some requests are more leftfield than others. Our back catalogue is brimming with special requests, one of which was the development of a replica of tripwire used during the Cold War. The aim – to teach operatives how to disarm potential antipersonnel devices.
In this case, creating a facsimile of Cold War tripwire was key in terms of look, durability and texture.
These special projects test our mettle but we’ve always risen to the challenge.

It’s why the advert for your breakfast bar boasts that it’s all-natural, and why the guy in the indie coffee shop you visit tells you about the beans he sourced from Central Africa. Underneath this need for greater transparency in the sourcing of produce lies a broader understanding of the world around us, knowledge that every consumer should take at least a little more responsibility for the items they buy. But every purchase you make with terms like Fairtrade on the packet aren’t only ways to buy responsibly. They’re also a mark of quality from companies, a sign that they only want the best for their consumers. Above and beyond the industry standard Almost all industries understand that consumers want to know that each constituent element of their product can be traced back to a quality source. And it’s exactly why we’ve invested time ensuring that the origin of every part of our wiring can be fully accounted for. We conform to ISO-9001, an international standard used by more than a million organisations. Not only is it the most widely used quality management system in the world, it’s also a way to make sure we exceed the quality you’d expect. Sourcing every part of our wiring To make sure you know everything about the wire you buy from us, we provide each of our products with a batch code which can be used to trace every element of our product, so you know you’re purchasing the high-quality products you’d expect from us. Each individual piece of wiring is placed through rigorous stress-testing procedures after being made, using a wide variety of machinery to ensure that it’s up to par before its sold. A company doesn’t, after all, gain an ISO-9001 certification without proving their products are of the highest quality. To find out more about the ISO-9001 application process, visit their site.

After President Trump’s controversial exit from the Paris accord, it was heartening to see how quickly business leaders from around the world voiced their concerns and disapproval.
Industry may not have always had the cleanest environmental record, but the recent outrage is a clear sign that change is already well under way.
As is certainly the case at Ormiston Wire, where a comprehensive environmental policy has long been at the heart of our business.
In light of the current political climate, it’s more important than ever to reaffirm and share our commitment to sustainable development. Improving our energy efficiency
Over the past few decades, we’ve worked hard to make every step of our business, from sourcing materials right through to our administrative services, as green as possible.
This started in 1991 when we moved from an inefficient factory into new, modern premises.
But since then, we’ve implemented a variety of different tactics to improve our energy efficiency, including: Installing a high-efficiency gas boiler and push taps in all bathrooms to reduce water usage.
Fitting lights with motion sensors so they can’t be left on unnecessarily.
Sourcing power from a renewable energy supplier.
Putting in plastic skylights to reduce our dependence on artificial lighting. None of these measures were hard to accomplish, but they have helped to build an ethical ethos amongst our workforce that’s had a significant impact on our environmental footprint.
 
Continuing our recycling initiative
Convinced we could still do more, though, we next set our sights on improving our waste management.
We set up a scheme to encourage customers to return used reels to us and focused on recycling or repurposing packaging. Now we no longer rely as heavily on landfill or skips to get rid of waste.
As well as allowing us to do our part for the environment, these energy-efficiency and waste-reducing measures have helped save our business a lot of money over the past few years.
And they’ve also won us both a Queen’s Award for Sustainable Development and a Hounslow Best Green Business Award.
We’re very proud to have received this recognition for our past work, and we aim to always maintain and champion sustainable development going forwards.

- [225 Years Of Wiring Excellence – How We’ve Stayed Successful For Two Centuries](https://www.ormiston-wire.co.uk/news/225-years-of-wiring-excellence-how-weve-stayed-successful-for-two-centuries/): \n\n225 Years Of Wiring Excellence – How We’ve Stayed Successful For Two Centuries\n\nHappy anniversary to us!
We’ve spent two-and-a-quarter centuries creating the best and most diverse array of wiring products we can, all while remaining forward-thinking in our working practices.
The only way we’ve lasted 225 years is by making sure we’re up to date in the modern age – an ethos we’ve had from the very beginning.
Founded by James Ormiston in 1793, Ormiston Wire was a trend-setting company in an age of change.
In the same era, Mary Wollstonecraft was publishing A Vindication of the Rights of Women, King George the Third was ruling Britain and the production of wiring was still in its infancy.
One of James’s many innovations at his newly acquired premises was to set up several wire drawing devices. The device was described in the Wire Drawing Handbook like this:
‘A mill consisting of an iron plate is perforated with steel eyelets or holes of differing sizes. The ingot, or starting diameter wire as we know it today, is passed through the largest size hole and then one degree smaller and so is continued until it is drawn to the required size.’
While this was a necessarily primitive way of manufacturing wire, it was also incredibly effective and showed how the start of the British Industrial Revolution was significantly affecting the way everything was being produced around that time.
James had jumped aboard a fast-moving point in industry, one that put Ormiston Wire in rude health within a very short period.
It was a successful beginning, and the tradition of innovation by the Ormistons has carried on to the modern day.
In the modern day
Fast forward 200 years, through two centuries of successful business practices and profits, and meet Mark Ormiston, the current Managing Director of Ormiston Wire.
Much like his predecessors, Mark has spent his tenure keeping the family business relevant and making sure that his employees are treated as fairly as possible.
The company has also diversified the uses for its wiring with some amazing projects.
In 2005, the Bleigessen, a towering and beautiful sculpture, was unveiled to the public. And it wouldn’t have been possible without our strong and stable wiring.
This extract from a back issue of our newsletter explains the process more thoroughly:
‘The 29-metre high installation is made up of 142,000 glass spheres suspended on 840 kilometres of stainless steel wires, to give the effect of a frozen waterfall.
It took more than four months to string, hand and secure the wires, which are kept taut by nearly 27,000 springs. Ormiston has been supplying these wires – known as microcables – for more than 60 years.’
A huge job – and just one of many.
In the past century, we’ve had a hand in the production of the television series Thunderbirds, made the cars at McLaren safer, helped explorers traverse the Antarctic and even had our wiring implemented as part of a tourist attraction at Kew Gardens.
What keeps bringing these people to our doors?
In part, it’s because of our excellent products, our rich heritage and our insistence on environmentally friendly practices.
Our green credentials
We’ve been one step ahead of the eco-curve for many years. It’s a commitment that’s even brought Jonathan Bartley of the Green Party to our warehouse, and one we’ve further committed to when we gained an internationally recognised environmental qualification.
‘Our big question was this – how can we save money but maintain the quality of our products?
So we thought of simple solutions to complicated questions. We switched off lights in offices that weren’t being used, installed energy efficient lightbulbs, recycled our packaging and avoided landfill tax by purchasing a skip which is only emptied once every two years.
Our sustainability efforts were increased in 2003, when we became the first UK-based SME to generate our own power with solar panels and a wind turbine.
Reviewing the past 30 years, it’s clear that we’ve been at the forefront of sustainability, implementing a number of methods that other businesses are only just discovering.’
 
Our pioneering approach to business has kept us in good stead for 225 years, and we have plenty more future plans to keep the ensuing two centuries just as exciting for our business.
So let’s raise a glass to Ormiston Wire – a company that’s as dedicated to family as it is to manufacturing excellent wiring for any occasion.

- [Keeping On](https://www.ormiston-wire.co.uk/case-studies/keeping-on/): At 94, Arthur Casey loves his work at Ormiston Wire. Three mornings a week he cleans and restocks the staff canteen and toilets, and helps in the factory. He says: 'I don't want to put my feet up. Even when I'm not well, I come to work; work keeps you going'. Ormiston is a specialist wire-processing company. It encourages people to stay as long as they want, provided they are still effective in their job. The firm has 14 employees who have done a total of 310 years of service - an average of 22 years each. It boasts a technical director of 70, a quality manager of 69 and Casey, who joined after retiring as a bricklayer more than 25 years ago. All three have been with the company for many years in several roles and now work part-time. Ormiston's MD, Mark Ormiston, told First Voice: 'Ormiston is very much an equal-opportunity employer. We have no sexism, racism or ageism but we don't carry any passengers - getting the job done is what matters. Arthur started with us as a full-time cleaner. When he got to 90 I cut it down to four days a week and then at 93 to three mornings. You just have to grasp the nettle and deal with people. And, of course, if they want to go early, we've no objection.' Case study taken from First Voice of Business www.firstvoice.co.uk\n\n
- [Wire Works](https://www.ormiston-wire.co.uk/case-studies/wire-works/): Just because a company is old doesn't necessarily mean it is stuck in its ways. Manufacturer Ormiston Wire is celebrating its 210th year of operation with the achievement of a Queen's Award for Sustainable Development. Although it is a relatively small company of just 16 employees, size has not prevented the company adopting sustainable business practices, says managing director Mark Ormiston. 'We decided to make the changes because we are a manufacturing company and we wanted to look at ways to save money. It wasn't because we had been a green company for years and years.'\n\nEnergy Saving MeasuresForced into action during the recession in 1991, Ormiston looked at ways to cut costs. The move from it Ealing base - a large inefficient old factory building - to a more modern premises in Isleworth, Middlesex, allowed the company to control overheads such as energy costs. The first step was to implement energy efficiency measures such as installing light bulbs with motion sensors that turn the lights off when no one is around. 'It's common sense', says Ormiston. 'If you are at home you don't leave your lights on at night, so why should you at work?' Plastic skylights were installed to reduce the need for artificial light. The company avoids the Climate Change Levy because it sources its power from a company that provides renewable energy - this saves the business around £1,100/year. Water is heated by a high-efficiency condensing gas boiler that provides hot water for radiators and hand washing, while push-taps in the bathrooms prevent water and energy from being wasted. As a result Ormiston Wire has managed to cut its water bill to £150/year. During the winter, heating can be expensive, but simple measures such as shutting the heating system down at 4pm rather than 5pm reduces gas use while still keeping the staff warm. Having few doors at the site ensures minimal heat loss.\n\nReducing WastePackaging costs were another area identified by Ormiston as a potential area of saving. 'I am a great believer in recycling - creating a loop where you can make a product and use it again', he says. 'It shouldn't go into a hole in the ground and be left to rot - it should be reclaimed, broken down, recycled and used again.' The amount of waste generated by the company used to fill two 16 cubic year skips a month. This has been reduced to one skip every six weeks with the use of a waste compactor. The company also charges customers a deposit on the reels that carry its wire products, refunding the deposit on return. This prevents the reels being thrown away. Cardboard boxes in which raw materials arrive at the factory are reused to pack finished products. Total savings on packaging are around £6,000/year, while waste removal costs have dropped by some £900/year. Total energy savings (excluding the Climate Change Levy saving) are about £3,000/year.\n\nKeeping the staff happyAs well as making commercial sense, the measures Ormiston has introduced have had the effect of creating a workforce committed to the company's values. Of course a 38-hour working week and a finish time of 1pm on a Friday have helped, but Ormiston has also been careful to ensure the rationale behind each of the company's environmental initiatives is explained. 'We are nothing special', he says. 'Our staff don't wear beads and sandals - they are just employed here and they know the measures make sense.' As a result, staff turnover is low - one employee likes it so much he is still working aged 95. The company's commercial and environmental success can be achieved by anyone, Ormiston insists. 'Monitor your costs - including the electricity, water and gas bills', he says. 'Find out how much you spend and ask what you can do to reduce that cost. It is the little measures that form part of a cost-saving package.' It seems that in this case, wisdom really does come with age. Case study taken from Environment Business Magazine\n\n

- [Trip Wire](https://www.ormiston-wire.co.uk/case-studies/trip-wire/): The applicationThis is a good example of one of the more unusual types of order we receive. We were approached by a training company to see if we could manufacture a replica of a trip wire, as used during the Cold War. The end purpose was to teach operatives how to disarm potential antipersonnel devices.\n\nThe Ormiston solutionAfter investigating historical designs and devices we were able to manufacture an accurate replica. This involved working with a specialist wood turning company to produce the bobbins on which the wire would be wound. The wire itself was stock spring wire, which was specially painted. Our specialist winding machines were then used to wind the wire onto the wooden bobbins.\n\nThe outcomeOn receiving approval to the initial prototype replicas, the order was placed and successfully completed, hopefully saving lives in the process.\n\n
- [Palladium Braid](https://www.ormiston-wire.co.uk/case-studies/palladium-braid/): The applicationAt Ormiston, we are often approached to provide solutions to unusual or particularly exacting wire and braid applications, sometimes working with exotic metals. For this particular application we were asked to produce a quantity of Palladium wire braid.
Palladium is a soft silver-white metal that resembles platinum. It is the least dense of the platinum group metals and has the lowest melting point. It is soft and ductile when annealed and greatly increases its strength and hardness when it is cold-worked.\n\nThe Ormiston solutionAs specialist wire and braid manufacturers we are readily able to meet almost any application and material specification. We are also highly experienced in sourcing metals and ensuring they meet the requisite quality standards and are competitively priced.\n\nThe outcomeThis export order was for a new client. Once a prototype sample had been tested and the cost estimate approved, we successfully completed the order.\n\n
- [The Redgrave-Pinsent Rowing Lake](https://www.ormiston-wire.co.uk/case-studies/redgrave-pinsent-rowing/): Helping rowers stay in laneNamed after and officially opened in 2006 by the Olympic rowers Sir Steve Redgrave and Sir Matthew Pinsent, this lake was specifically designed for training use. It is situated in South Oxfordshire, between the Reading suburb of Caversham and the village of Sonning Eye.
Created by the selective dredging and reclamation of part of the Caversham Lakes, the project was sponsored by a partnership of the Caversham Lakes Trust, Sport England, the Amateur Rowing Association, and the Thames and Kennet Marina.\n\nThe applicationOrmiston was brought in to solve corrosion problems with the existing rowing lane cables, which were installed by the original developers and suppliers. We were approached because of our extensive experience in supplying lane cable assemblies, which includes locations such as Holm Pierpoint, Dorney Lake, Docklands, Strathclyde, Cardiff Bay, Henley Royal and others.\n\nThe Ormiston solutionIt was immediately apparent that the replacement assemblies would have to be stainless steel to prevent any recurrence of corrosion problems. In all, we supplied 250 meter lengths of stainless steel strands with interchangeable stainless steel ferrules every 12.5 meters. The ferrules feature a swaged eye one end and a fork the other. The 1.5 meter buoy lines feature a snood clip one end and a soft eye the other. This enables them to be easily changed or serviced. It also ensures automatic release from the strand in the event of a collision, thus preventing damage to the whole lane.\n\nThe outcomeThe lane assemblies have a projected ten-year lifespan and have been successfully in place now since 2012.\n\n
- [British Antarctic Survey](https://www.ormiston-wire.co.uk/case-studies/british-antarctic-survey/): British Antarctic SurveyBritish Antarctic Survey (BAS) is a component of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). Based in Cambridge in the UK, it has undertaken the majority of Britain's scientific research on and around the Antarctic continent for over 60 years.\n\nThe projectIn 2012 BAS advised us they needed strong yet lightweight antennas for use in their operations in Antarctica.\n\nThe Ormiston solutionOrmiston already has significant expertise as a manufacturer and supplier of Kevlar antenna braid. As such, we are a significant supplier to the military for various applications.
Recognising that the Antarctic presents particular challenges, we specified, designed and manufactured an antenna that would be lightweight but also robust enough to withstand the conditions. This comprised a cross sectional area (CSA) of tinned copper, over a Kevlar core, with a red PVC coating to provide insulation in extreme low temperatures.\n\nThe outcomeSuccessful testing of a prototype length of the antenna manufactured in our Isleworth factory exceeded anticipated strength and performance tolerances. We were consequently commissioned to complete the order.\n\n
- [Old Spitalfields Market](https://www.ormiston-wire.co.uk/case-studies/old-spitalfields-market/): Traders have earned their crusts at East London’s Old Spitalfields Market for over 350 years – it opened back when James II was King of Scotland, England and Ireland and Samuel Pepys wrote the last entry in his iconic diary.It’s now home to range of independent stalls offering everything from food to fashion and art and boasts a bustling environment that’s truly unique.
But the history of Spitalfields is also intimately interwoven with silk and this is the crux of an inspirational installation concept Ormiston is proud to have contributed our technical expertise to – a flight of fancy involving 40 illuminated silk moths.\n\nThe projectSpitalfields worked closely with designers Studio 29 on the ambitious concept – an electrified eclipse of chameleonic moths installed above the Trade Market area at Crispin Place, which change colour throughout the day to represent metamorphosis and are suspended at different heights to mimic movement.
The artistic aesthetics are impeccable, but since the moths flutter above a busy public space, our paramount priority was health and safety – so we combined our years of technical expertise and comprehensive product catalogue to formulate a fantastic solution.\n\nThe Ormiston solutionThe first challenge which we encountered was the fact that there are no direct vertical anchor points on the ceiling of the building. So to enable these masterpieces to hang safely and securely from above, we suggested that Spitalfields used our high-quality catenary wire to create a heavy-duty wire rope that’s secured and suspended between two firm fixing points. C-clips allowed the suspended moths to be placed anywhere along the span, and they were also connected firmly with Gripple XP1 fixings.\n\nThe outcomeThe art installation was completed successfully, with each magnificent moth now swaying sublimely high above the above the stalls, animated by their designer’s imagination and our technical savvy.
Shoppers and stallholders can marvel at their beauty amidst the buzz, bantering and bargaining which has characterised Spitalfields’ commercial and social space for countless generations.\n\n
- [Thunderbirds](https://www.ormiston-wire.co.uk/case-studies/thunderbirds/): Capturing children's imaginations in the SixtiesAmong the most popular and iconic of children's television programmes in the 1960's were the various action-adventure puppet series developed by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. These were produced by the British independent company AP Films, which would later become Century 21 Productions. The individual series included Four Feather Falls, Fireball XL5, Stingray, and most notably, Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons.\n\nThe applicationAll of the series featured the Andersons' trademark synchronised 'Supermarionation' technique. At the time, this was a major technical advance in puppetry in that the thin wires controlling the marionettes also carried electronic signals to control head and mouth movements. But the wire had to be thin enough to not be too obviously visible on film.\n\nThe Ormiston solutionOrmiston was approached early on to help solve the technical issues in filming the marionettes. What was required was a very thin yet durable metal wire filament to manipulate the puppets. But the wire had also to be darkened so there would be no reflection, making it as invisible as possible. We developed, manufactured and supplied a 0.125mm diameter wire which was then chemically treated to darken it.\n\nThe outcomeThis innovative wire solution was successfully used throughout the lifespan of each of these series until the Andersons eventually moved into live-action productions at the start of the Seventies.\n\n
- [Mini heat exchangers](https://www.ormiston-wire.co.uk/case-studies/mini-heat-exchangers/): Heat transferAt Ormiston, we have unrivalled expertise in the complex field of heat exchange. We have manufactured wire turbulators since 1968 and have developed our own patented looped-spiral design. These are manufactured in our Redditch factory and they have many advantages over Fin or Spiral sheet metal types.
The density of the turbulator can be varied to suit the liquid or gas flowing through the tube to give maximum excitement and heat transfer coefficient, with a minimum loss of pressure. This economises on the length, diameter or number of tubes required per unit and allows flow pumps to be kept to a minimum size.\n\nThe applicationWe were approached by a new customer who was seeking to solve a particular heat transfer problem with a piece of machinery.\n\nThe Ormiston solutionDrawing on our considerable expertise in this field, we designed and manufactured a bespoke mini wire-wound turbulator. With a series of loop turns, this had an outside diameter of just 3mm, as compared to the 6 to 16mm of our existing ranges of turbulators.\n\nThe outcomeFollowing successful trials with an initial prototype we received an order to produce and supply a further quantity of these mini turbulators for ongoing trial purposes.\n\n
- [Thomas Heatherwick’s ‘Bleigiessen’ Sculpture](https://www.ormiston-wire.co.uk/case-studies/thomas-heatherwicks-bleigiessen-sculptureheatherwick-bleigiessen/): Thomas Heatherwick StudioThomas Heatherwick is one of the most exciting creative practitioners working in the UK today. Established in 1994, the Heatherwick Studio produces stunning and ingenious works that span the disciplines of architecture, furniture, product design, fashion, engineering, sculpture and urban planning.\n\nThe projectThe Wellcome Trust, a biomedical research charity, commissioned the studio to design a sculpture for its new international headquarters in London. The site for the sculpture was within an eight-storey high atrium space above a pool of water.\n\nPhotography: Steve Speller\n\nThe concept'Bleigiessen' - or lead casting - is a New Year's Eve activity in central Europe. Molten lead is poured into water, producing extraordinary shapes from which your fortune can be predicted for the coming year.
The vertiginous quality of the atrium space, coupled with the presence of water, suggested the idea of exploring ways of capturing the dynamic shapes of falling liquids.
The sculpture consists of 142,000 glass spheres suspended on 27,000 high-tensile steel wires. It glows with a constantly shifting rainbow of colours, an effect created through a unique process of sandwiching reflective 'dichroic' film within the glass.\n\nThe Ormiston solutionIn practical terms, the sculpture consisted of 15 tonnes of glass and just under a million metres of wire, suspended above a pool of water. Ormiston was commissioned to provide a solution that would both support the structure and become part of its essential aesthetic appearance and appeal. Durability was critical in terms of minimising degradation, in particular corrosion.
High-tensile stainless steel microcable was supplied from stock and special bespoke ferrules were manufactured to specification. The whole structure was also tensioned on spring cables to prevent movement.\n\nThe outcomeIn 2006 'Bleigiessen' received the prestigious Lovells Art and Work Award. It remains a permanent and iconic feature of The Wellcome Trust atrium and public tours take place on the last Friday of every month at 14.00.\n\n
- [Kew Gardens](https://www.ormiston-wire.co.uk/case-studies/kew-gardens/): The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, is a much-loved and internationally recognised centre for botanical and mycological knowledge and research, established more than 250 years ago.This national institution has made a vast number of contributions to increasing the understanding of plants and fungi, benefiting the world’s pool of ecological knowledge and giving the UK public the chance to experience plant life from around the world.\n\nThe projectWe were commissioned by Kew Garden to help in the construction of a suspended footpath which would lead to a newly constructed treehouse. The footpath would slowly ascend to reach the cabin – which was itself held in the air by large wooden posts – so safety in the bridge’s construction was of the utmost importance.\n\nThe Ormiston solutionTo ensure that the barriers around the footpath were secure, we supplied Kew Gardens with 1000 meters of 5mm 7x7 316 stainless steel rope. We also supplied the end fittings which, when combined with our rope, helped in the creation of a sturdy and safe barrier.\n\nThe outcomeThe footpath was completed successfully, as was the cabin, which has played host to a variety of events in the grounds of Kew Gardens. In December 2016, the cabin was used as Santa’s Grotto, to the delight of the many children who visit the gardens.\n\n
- [Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren](https://www.ormiston-wire.co.uk/case-studies/mercedes-benz-slr-mclaren/): A thoroughbred on the public highwayThe Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren was jointly developed by Mercedes-Benz and McLaren Automotive and was sold from 2003 to 2009. It was classified as a grand tourer and was inspired by the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut coupe and race car of 1955.\n\nThe applicationOrmiston was approached to help provide an additional safety element to protect occupants. The requirement was to manufacture a restraint for the engine block so that it would not shift into the driver/passenger compartment in the event of an accident involving a major impact.\n\nPhotography: Cars en travel\n\nThe Ormiston solutionThis was an unusual challenge for us, requiring a special and innovative solution. The client specification called for Zylon lanyards. Zylon is a high-tensile synthetic polymer material which was invented and developed by SRI International in the 1980s. It is currently manufactured by the Toyobo Corporation. Having sourced the material, we prepared a prototype assembly using stainless steel rounded ferrules. These elements were then tested to destruction, easily exceeding the required specification tolerances.\n\nThe outcomeThe special engine restraint assembly proved successful and we continued to supply these components until production of the model ceased in 2009.\n\n
- [Heathrow Airport](https://www.ormiston-wire.co.uk/case-studies/heathrow-airport/): Heathrow Airport officially opened to commercial air traffic on 31st May 1946.
And according to official statistics, this now-iconic air hub 14 miles west of central London processes 80.1 million passengers annually, serves 203 destinations in 84 countries and shipped 1.7 million metric tonnes of cargo in 2018.
But Heathrow isn’t just Britain’s biggest portal to the rest of the world, because it’s also concerned with important social issues. So when our clients Meads Construction asked us for help with an umbrellas installation aimed at increasing awareness of conditions like ADHD, we couldn’t rain on their parade.\n\nThe project
ADHD and Autism are commonly used as umbrella terms for a wider range of neuro-developmental disorders including Dyslexia, Dyscalculia and Dyspraxia – so the concept behind 300 umbrellas seemingly floating from the roof of Heathrow’s T5 is to raise awareness of the unique gifts, talents and contributions of people who suffer from these conditions.
A worthy cause indeed, but the project presented a particular technical challenge – how to engineer a level, flat framework which was strong enough to suspend the umbrellas from, while preserving the airport’s pristine public health and safety record.\n\nThe Ormiston solution Mead Construction devised an ingenious plan to construct the required framework with steel cable suspended between the roof parapets, creating bespoke brackets, adding secondary and tertiary cables and then carefully tensioning the structure until the framework was created 10m above ground.
The cable was 6mm, 12mm and 1.5 mm galvanised wire rope, while the fittings were galvanised wire rope grips, shackles and Gripple fittings.
Within two weeks, we had provided key supplies for a complex yet visionary project which ultimately involved 3.5 km of cable, 3000 fittings and no less than one tonne of steel suspended in mid-air.\n\nThe outcome With only a one week lead-in and two weeks on site, Mead Construction had an extremely tight timescale.
But thanks to their amazing discipline and dedication and our technical input, the project was completed on time and the finished display looks absolutely beautiful.
The umbrellas are mesmerising and the message they creatively convey is nothing short of inspirational – this is one worthwhile project we’re immensely proud to have participated in.\n\n

- [Mike Stoane Lighting](https://www.ormiston-wire.co.uk/case-studies/mike-stoane-lighting/): Mike Stoane LightingMike Stoane Lighting was established in 1995 from a passion for lighting and a belief that most products are over complicated. Since the early days their lighting products and systems have been simple and timeless, integrating sympathetically into their environment.\n\nThe applicationMike Stoane Lighting had been approached by BDP and Light Collective to provide a highly creative yet functional dynamic lighting solution for an atrium within the The Avenues shopping mall in Kuwait.
The design concept comprised a series of wires, both suspended from and draped around the tensioned structural supports of the building, each one with a series of LED (Xicato) illuminated acrylic spheres attached. In addition to providing the suspension for the system, the wires would also be required to carry power to each of the spheres.\n\nPhotography: Mike Stoane Lighting\n\nThe Ormiston solutionAlthough the system was using LED bulbs, which would considerably reduce the overall weight, there was still a considerable weight/suspension requirement. There was also the need for an electrical conductor within each cable.
Our first task was to determine the weight/suspension requirements and then the cross sectional area (CSA) of copper that would be compatible with the power requirements. We then recommended, designed and manufactured a stainless steel cable with a tinned copper braid incorporated. We also specified and supplied the end fittings that would hold the cable in place.\n\nThe outcomeOnce the prototype cables and fittings had been supplied and tested we were commissioned to complete the order. This included ensuring the elements were securely packaged for shipment to avoid any damage in transit.\n\n

- [Heat Transfer](https://www.ormiston-wire.co.uk/wire-applications/heat-transfer/): \n\nHeat Transfer\n\nOur wire turbulators ensure maximum turbulence, with minimum loss of pressure\n\nOrmiston has considerable expertise in the complex field of heat exchange. We have manufactured wire turbulators since 1968 and have developed our own specialist looped-spiral design. The turbulators we offer are manufactured from wire in the form of a looped spiral as illustrated, and we consider they have many advantages over Fin or Spiral sheet metal types. The density of the turbulator can be varied to suit the liquid or gas flowing through the tube to give maximum excitement and heat transfer coefficient with a minimum loss of pressure thus economizing on the length, diameter or number of tubes required per unit and allowing flow pumps to be kept to a minimum size. Our turbulators are normally manufactured with a small eye at one end (to facilitate easy pull through the tubes) and a tail can be left at the other end for joining on any follow up length, when tubes over 3.00 metres long are involved. These turbulators are normally need no fixing in the tubes as wires grip quite tightly and do not tend to move with a normal flow of liquid or gas. The wire from which this product is made can be of almost any metal and our present production includes galvanized mild steel, Stainless Steel, Copper and Monel Metal. We can offer any length from 15 cm up to 3.00 metres and longer lengths can be easily made up by a simple method of joining. Diameter can be varied to suit any tube from 6.35mm up to 32mm. We look forward to receiving your enquiries which will have our immediate attention. Typical samples are available on request.\n\nWire Turbulator\n\nWire turbulators for heat exchanger tubes.

- [Quality Assurance](https://www.ormiston-wire.co.uk/about-us/quality-assurance/): \n\nQuality Assurance\n\nFrom specification and calibration, to customer support and service.
As a specialist wire manufacturer, it is critical that every length of wire or braid we produce or supply conforms to specification.
To ensure specification integrity, all products are subjected to rigorous testing prior to leaving our London or Redditch facilities. Such tests include tensile strength and resistance, proof-loading, elongation, and diameter.
But our quality assurances go beyond the physical tolerances of our products.
Ormiston's philosophy has always been to give the same attention, priority and urgency to small, one-off specifications as large production runs. This personalised service is what you would expect from a small, family-run business and we are one of the few manufacturers who can legitimately deliver on such a promise.
It is this focus on quality and performance that has been the foundation of our success over the years and it still serves us today, as exemplified by the numerous independent quality awards we hold.

- [Staff Profiles](https://www.ormiston-wire.co.uk/about-us/staff-profiles/): \n\nStaff Profiles\n\nMark OrmistonManaging Director\n\nMark is the sixth generation Ormiston to lead this family business which was founded in 1793. While he has overall responsibility for the direction and development of the company, his areas of specialist expertise include product design, quality control and providing technical help.
But he also takes a keen interest in environmental and energy efficiency issues. Under his guidance Ormiston was the first UK firm to install a wind turbine and solar panels, at its Isleworth factory, for which it received the Queen's Award for Sustainable Development in 2002.
Mark's environmental interests carry through into his personal life too. He doesn't own a car, preferring to cycle, which he did for charity in 2008, cycling from Lands End to John o' Groats in 9 days, 1 hour and 22 minutes. He also takes a keen interest in the history and conservation of the River Thames and he took part in the Queen's Jubilee Pageant in 2012.
Mark says: 'Leading a small manufacturing company can be challenging, but with the excellent staff we have, and in particular their experience and enthusiasm, it makes my job much easier'.\n\nPauline OrmistonDirector/Company Secretary\n\nPauline's involvement with the business goes back more than 30 years. Today, she is responsible for all financial aspects and any related issues.
As she recalls: 'My association with Ormiston began when I was 12, when my mother was secretary to the then Chairman, John Ormiston. When I was 19, I took a temporary job with the company as an assistant in the accounts department. This was a far cry from the computerised and technologically-advanced department it is today!'.
Outside the office Pauline has a deep and lasting love of all things Italian. She says: 'I love the language, the country, the culture and especially the food! I have been on a couple of Italian cookery courses in Tuscany and enjoy cooking Italian and especially eating out in good Italian restaurants'.\n\nChitra PuriGeneral Manager\n\nChitra has overall responsibility for the day-to-day running of Ormiston, as well as dealing with customers who visit the factory. She joined the company over 30 years ago as an assistant to the then purchasing and production managers. When they retired she took over their roles, eventually progressing to become General Manager.
Today, Chitra's main focus is sales, purchasing and costing, whether sourcing materials from stock, or manufacturing to meet particular specifications. She works closely with the factory foreman on all stock and production issues and with Karley, the Quality Manager, to ensure overall quality control, particularly where bought-in raw materials are concerned.
Chitra says: 'I have raised three children while working at Ormiston. Now I enjoy eating out and trying different types of cuisine. I even enjoy an occasional flutter on the horses!'\n\nKarley OrmistonAssistant Company Secretary\n\nKarley has been with the company for nearly 20 years and is the first point of contact for potential and existing customers, whether by phone or email. Her primary role is to ensure customer satisfaction at all times by making sure their particular needs are met accurately and promptly.
As she says: 'I suppose my specialist expertise is seeing to it that everything that needs to be done gets done. In addition to dealing with any quality issues, this can include processing orders, handling enquiries, invoicing, recruitment, and issuing Certificates of Conformity.
When away from work, Karley likes to spend time with her two god-daughters. She has also done voluntary work in South Africa and would like to go on another such adventure again soon. She enjoys music, movies, dance and has taken Flamenco lessons. She enjoys baking and likes to experiment on her colleagues, which has resulted both in triumphs and disasters!
Karley is also a fully qualified Massage Therapist and is currently studying for a qualification in Aromatherapy. Later in the year she will be completing her qualification in Reiki healing. She will be volunteering at the London Marathon and is looking forward to helping tired runners who are competing on behalf of Diabetes UK.\n\nDo you have an unusual application or usage for wire products?Contact us to discuss your project.\n\n
