Gripple to rescue

When Sheffield Hallam University's Centre for Sport and Exercise Science was looking for an unobtrusive method of suspending a number of its exhibits at a recent international exhibition in Beijing, it called on city-based Gripple Limited for help.

The Centre used Gripple's hanger system, normally used to suspend mechanical and electrical services from the ceilings of buildings.

Gripple donated a number of hangers, which were used to suspend a range of sporting equipment at the Beijing Sports Science Exhibition which was staged to strengthen the links between the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the London Games in 2012.
