Flame Hardeners managing director, Roger Haw, explains that the artwork idea was initiated by his visit to an art exhibition where well-known architectural and abstract artist Tony Moss was among the exhibiting artists.
Saws Haw: “I observed several of Tony’s works and it struck me how his style would suit a representation of our shaft hardening machine, of which we have always been very proud.
“As it happened, at that time, we were undertaking a refurbishment of our reception area, so I commissioned Tony to create an artist’s view of the equipment.
“We are highly delighted with the result, and the painting, which takes pride of place in our reception, has attracted many favourable comments from visitors to our works. It just goes to show how totally unrelated events can come together to create a perfect solution.”
