Ormiston Wire wins award for environmental excellence

Isleworth based Ormiston Wire, a leading wire specialist and braid manufacturer and supplier, has been awarded the Hounslow Business Award for Best Green Business.

The award recognises Ormiston Wire’s ongoing commitment to environmental policy and sustainability procedures. Ormiston Wire, a sixth generation family owned business which has been operating for over 220 years, is one of the industryís leading supporters of environmental sustainability. The wire manufacturer has previously been commended with the Queen’s Award for its achievements in sustainable development.

Ormiston Wire initially introduced cost-reducing energy efficiency measures at the beginning of the 1990s. Over two decades later and the wire manufacturer has developed its environmental sustainability measures still further, which includes the implementation of new energy saving technology and instilling an ethical ethos in the workforce. The measures Ormiston Wire introduced include installing light bulbs with motion sensors, recycling at every opportunity and utilising a high-efficiency condensing gas boiler. These changes have led to annual energy savings of tens of thousands of pounds.

“I’m delighted Ormiston Wire has won this award, which recognises our continuous commitment to environmental sustainability in the manufacturing process,” said Mark Ormiston, the company’s Managing Director. “Ormiston Wire regards excellent environmental sustainability alongside delivering outstanding customer service as a core business priority. We understand the benefits of adopting sustainable business practices and how it can positively affect both the planet and profits.”

The annual Hounslow Business Awards is developed and organised by Hounslow Chamber of Commerce and celebrates the achievements of both small and large local businesses. The Best Green Business Award required nominees to best demonstrate how its green and sustainability ethos and practices positively contributed towards carbon reduction, recycling policy and the promotion and adoption of green innovation and technologies.

Ormiston Wire reveals how to specify wire for art and sculpture

Ormiston Wire, a global expert in wire and specialist wire applications, has released a new, free white paper offering a guide to specifying different types of wire for art and sculpture. The paper will help students and established artists specify wire to ensure correct usage in both the structure and suspension of their art.

Wire used in art and sculpture breaks down into two types: that which is used for the suspension of artworks, and wire that is used in the structure of the sculpture itself. The free white paper focuses on these types of uses of wire in art and on how different properties can produce a variety of results.

The paper also concentrates on the use of wire by successful British artists today. This includes Barbara Franc, who uses wire in structures to create stunning animal displays with recycled materials, and Thomas Heatherwick, creator of the Olympic Cauldron, the sculpture that held the Olympic flame during the London 2012 games, who uses wire for suspension purposes.

“Wire can be specified to create a wide range of different artistic effects while meeting the physical demands of the installation,” explains Mark Ormiston, Managing Director, Ormiston Wire. “By working with a wire specialist that provides a wire specification service, artists are able to not only satisfy any weight constraints of the art, but also find the correct wire to ensure they accomplish the visual effect that they were aiming for”.

Ormiston Wire reveals secrets of successful store lighting

Ormiston Wire, the global expert in wire and specialist wire applications, has released a new white paper packed with tips and advice for achieving the best lighting solutions. This white paper looks at the issues involved in specifying wire for lighting and provides a useful guide for anyone planning the specification and commissioning of a new lighting installation.

The paper discusses key specification issues such as establishing the right location and level and how these considerations are affected by issues such as safety and aesthetics. Weight – the number one issue when it comes to hanging lights – is covered, while examples are given to illustrate how environmental and safety standards may dictate specific materials.

The paper not only offers readers advice on the wire itself but also the fittings. Modern tool-free clamps offer discreet ways of attaching fittings to suspension wire and can keep the installation adjustable, depending on whether the business would prefer staff to be able to make their own adjustments.

“The key safety consideration is, of course, weight, but wires and fittings can now be supplied that not only suit load-carrying capacity but are also finished to a style that suits the environment,” explains Mark Ormiston, Managing Director, Ormiston Wire. “For example, we can supply a high-end retailer with chrome-finished fittings that complement the environment or, at the other end of the scale, a rugged solution for a warehouse-style store.”

Ormiston Wire offers a wealth of experience in providing wire for lighting, and can provide businesses with advice and assistance in specifying the right wire for any application.

The industries achieving the perfect look with our wiring

Appearance 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. To find out more about how you can achieve the perfect look with our wiring, explore the rest of our site or get in touch today.
