Premier Technical Services Group Ltd (PTSG) was recently contracted to provide specialist water hygiene services for the Royal Armouries in Leeds and Fort Nelson in Hampshire.

The Royal Armouries is the United Kingdom’s national collection of arms and armour. Originally an important part of England’s military organisation, it became the UK’s oldest museum, originally housed in the Tower of London from the 15th century, and one of the oldest museums in the world. It is also one of the oldest and largest collections of arms and armour in the world, comprising the UK’s National Collection of Arms and Armour, National Artillery Collection, and National Firearms Collection. Today, the collection is split across three sites: the Tower of London, the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds, and Fort Nelson near Portsmouth. Specialists from PTSG carried out Legionella risk assessments and regular water hygiene monitoring at both the Royal Armouries (Leeds) and Fort Nelson (Hampshire).
