As a Leeds-based business operating in the defence and force protection sector, DIRICKX is proud to support the Royal Armouries as a corporate sponsor.
Earlier this week, members of the DIRICKX Systems team attended a VIP reception at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds to celebrate the launch of its latest international exhibition: GLADIATORS: HEROES OF THE COLOSSEUM.
The event marked the official opening of the museum’s new Special Exhibitions Gallery and included a private viewing of the exhibition, developed in partnership with the National Archaeological Museum of Naples, Expona, and Contemporanea Progetti.
Guests heard from special guest speaker Jodie Ounsley, who stars as Fury on BBC’s Gladiators, as she shared her inspiring personal journey of overcoming challenges as a deaf athlete and excelling in high-impact sports. A powerful message of resilience and determination.
The event provided a unique opportunity to explore the fascinating world of gladiators and reflect on how protection, strength, and innovation have evolved from ancient arenas to modern day applications.
The museum’s mission to examine the history of conflict, ingenuity and human resilience closely aligns with DIRICKX Systems’ own values.
The team look forward to continuing the partnership and supporting future initiatives at one of Leeds’ most significant cultural institutions.
