Marconi plc supports Chelmsford's Guglielmo Marconi Museum Project 18 August 2000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marconi plc announced today that it will contribute £300,000 to Chelmsford Borough Council's ambitious project for a new museum dedicated to Guglielmo Marconi. In 1897, Marconi formed the company, which in 1898 established the world's first radio factory in Chelmsford and this company subsequently became part of GEC, which in turn became Marconi plc in November 1999. Marconi plc intends transferring ownership and management of its unique collection of archive material and artefacts reflecting the work, life and times of Guglielmo Marconi to a trust. It is intended that the documents and photographs will be passed, on permanent loan, to the new Essex Record Office. The major part of the collection of artefacts is likely to be displayed in the new museum. Sir Roger Hurn, Marconi's Chairman, said 'We are delighted that Chelmsford's Marconi Museum project is taking shape and that we can play a role in the fulfilment of this worthy ambition to honour one of Chelmsford's most famous figures.' Martin Easteal, Chief Executive of Chelmsford Borough Council, added 'Marconi was one of the most important figures of the century and his discoveries have played a key role in creating our modern world. In the same way, Marconi's association with Chelmsford was a major factor in transforming it from an historic county town to a modern, prosperous, and progressive borough. There is enormous support for the creation of a fitting museum in Chelmsford to house this unique collection. We are very grateful to Marconi plc for doing so much to help make this dream a reality.'
