David Wilson of Dovetailors said:

The dean’s passionate mission to modernise the cathedral in an effort to secure its future is something that we were fortunate enough to have witnessed first hand.

We also experienced the glare of the TV cameras as we worked closely with the project team to realize their vision.

We felt extremely privileged to have been chosen to design and built the new altar and ambo for the cathedral and we are very much looking forward to seeing the finished documentary.

Cathedrals will be shown on BBC4 at 9pm on Tuesday 12 November 2013.
