"Aaron is a trusted specialist technician who never fails to impress with his diversity of skills. His ability to create a ‘big picture’ vision is brilliant and is matched by his immaculate attention to detail. He builds a great rapport with artists, curators and producers of all disciplines and works well both as a self-starter and a member of a larger team. We’ve presented Aaron with a broad range of problems to solve and missions to accomplish over the years, and he has always managed to work things through methodically and creatively. Aaron understands the importance of delivering projects to time and the results are always really impressive."
Helen Stalker, Director

"Aaron’s reliable, friendly and down-to-earth manner has enabled him to work closely with artists and ourselves on a variety of projects. His knowledge and experience has helped us find many creative solutions to complex problems."

Wild Honey 2018
“I worked closely with Aaron Pearce on the installation of my exhibition ‘Wild Honey’ at the Turnpike in 2018. I was very impressed by Aaron’s technical skills, his talent for problem-solving, and how hard-working and committed he is to doing a good job.”
The Turpike Potteries 2018
"Aaron was utterly indispensable to the Turnpike project. He did the whole install speedily and brought my designs to life perfectly. He was always on hand to help in any way that he could. I couldn’t have done it without him."
Supersymmetry 2019
"In July 2019, I worked with Aaron whilst installing my solo show ‘Supersymmetry’ at the Turnpike, Leigh. From start to finish, Aaron provided an incomparable level of support and service which really contributed to the success of the exhibition. Prior to the opening, he also fabricated 2 bespoke plinths which were needed for a large piece of work which became the focal point of the exhibition.
In addition to providing this level of support during the install, he also oversaw the deinstall and packaging of the works which were all returned to me perfectly."
Barbara Nichols 2019
I was lucky enough to meet Aaron when I had a solo exhibition at The Turnpike, Leigh in 2019. To install an exhibition requires numerous types of skills and the small things matter as much as large all of which Aaron was very good at. Along with Aaron’s extensive skills base and technical knowhow, he knew just the right pitch to gage how to support an artist during the installation process.
My work was very large yet fragile heavyweight paper. Any false moves could have damaged it but Aaron worked with sensitive authority and all went well. He managed the technical team demonstrating great communication skills. The install required new, creative ways of thinking about how to hang my work in the Turnpike gallery space. Aaron brought his own creativity to solving technical problems which are unique to each exhibition. In my experience Aaron is a completely trustworthy and a great guy.
