Hello, we are Mather & Co.

We lead the world in museums, exhibitions, and attraction design. Our work connects and engages with people and transports them to new and exciting worlds. We work across the heritage, sports, and entertainment industries, meaning we can bring ideas from one sector into the other.

We’re always looking for new ways to tell stories, engage visitors, and attract new audiences. By placing ourselves in the visitor’s shoes, we can create designs that are relevant and appropriate with an added sense of theatre to give the real ‘wow’ factor.

We offer a full service from masterplanning right through to build to put your mind at ease. We have a specialist team who can manage the project from the first designs, right through to handing you the keys on launch day.

Mather & Co’s portfolio of completed projects include Belgian Beer World, Gretna Green Experience, Olympic Museum, Downton Abbey: The Exhibition, Dover Castle, Silverstone Museum, The R&A World Golf Museum and many more.

Mather & Co is also working the highly anticipated Inverness Castle Experience, Glencoe Folk Museum, Aberystwyth University Old College, Manchester Town Hall, Ipswich Museum, and many more.

SITEnetwork is a cutting-edge digital platform focused on creating a global network of virtual reality (VR) tourist attractions. It allows potential visitors to virtually experience destinations before physically visiting them, providing immersive and interactive previews of tourist spots across the globe.

This innovative concept aims to revolutionize the tourism industry by bridging the gap between physical and digital experiences, enhancing customer engagement, and increasing accessibility to destinations that may be difficult to visit in person. Independent research shows that virtual-pre-visits actually increase physical visits by up to 33%.

For members of the Association of Scottish Visitor Attractions (AVSA), SITEnetwork offers a unique opportunity to expand their audience reach and enhance visitor experiences. By integrating virtual tours of their attractions, AVSA members can offer international tourists a preview of Scotland’s rich cultural, historical, and natural heritage, attracting a broader demographic. It also supports educational and marketing efforts, as virtual experiences can be used to showcase lesser-known locations, increase off-peak tourism, or provide accessibility to those unable to travel.

The platform is especially relevant in the post-pandemic world, where virtual engagement has become crucial to maintaining a presence in the global tourism market.

This alignment with modern digital trends ensures that AVSA members can stay competitive and innovative in an increasingly digital-first landscape.

Having identified a gap in the market for quality VAT advice at competitive rates, Greg McNally launched the business in 2019.  It was rebranded as VITA in 2024 to acknowledge the addition of senior staff and expansion of service offerings into new environmental taxes.  It is now comfortably the largest independent VAT & Indirect Tax advisory business in Scotland, with plans for further recruitment later in the year.

VITA is founded on the cornerstones of being Technical, Commercial and Reliable.  It’s proud to consider itself as mobile and willing to travel throughout Scotland and the UK – whilst in this digital environment, it can provide quick advice remotely through online meetings.

This allows the business to be present/available and offer a level of personal service that is often absent in the modern advisory profession, complemented by a charging structure that is transparent and often based on fixed fees to offer certainty when budgeting.

With regard to its core offering, ​VITA has a real depth of experience in the not-for-profit sector covering culture, arts, and visitor attractions.  In particular, this would include:

• Identifying the correct VAT liabilities
• Applying the available exemptions and concessions
• Requirement for VAT registration
• Introducing VAT return models to assist maximise VAT recovery
