NMEC puts Hodges Dome story straight

The article Hodges takes on Dome problems is misleading (DW l0 March). Hodges Associates is one of a number of groups subcontracted by In-house Communications, appointed by the NMEC to manage a programme of enhancements to all zones. Hodges Associates has not been directly appointed by NMEC and has no contact with either NMEC or Dome sponsors.

In-house Communications was appointed by NMEC on 11 February on a short-term contract to direct the programme, which includes improvements to the durability of zones and raising the overall visitor experience.

Tania Watson, managing director of In-house Communications, who for more than three years has been consultant content editor for the Dome with specific responsibility for the Play and Home Planet zones, is leading the project.
