Open your factory to customers, recruits and auditors without a site visit. Secure, branded 360 tours of manufacturing plants and industrial sites, with password protection where you need it. From £700 with no travel charges in mainland UK.
Factories are loud, busy and governed by health and safety, so every site visit costs time and carries risk. A virtual tour lets a buyer in another country walk your production line, a recruit see where they would work, and an auditor check a process, all without a hard hat. Our tours have marketed new facilities for Airbus, supported recruitment for Cox Marine and followed a Ringmaster down the production line for Schneider Electric.
The same tour can carry a public layer for customers and a password-protected layer for staff induction, safety briefings and training, each with its own hotspots. Aerial 360 scenes show the scale of a site; ground scenes show the detail of each line.
We shoot around shifts, follow your PPE and permit-to-work rules, and can photograph with lines running or stopped. A single plant is usually captured in a day.
Built for manufacturing, engineering and industrial sites, with security and control as standard.
Explain machinery, capacity, certifications and safety information at the point in the tour where a visitor sees it.
Keep sensitive areas or internal versions behind a password, with public and private layers of the same tour.
Drone 360s show the whole site, loading bays and access, and link down into each building.
Reuse the tour for inductions, safety walkthroughs and audits, with separate versions for each audience.
See which areas customers and recruits explore most, and which hotspots they open.
No travel charges in mainland UK, and a project manager who has run shoots in more than a dozen countries.
Four steps, one named contact, and a clear price before anything is booked.
Tell us about the building and what the tour is for. A clear, no-obligation price, with no travel charges anywhere in mainland UK.
We agree the scene list, navigation and hotspot content with you. Our preparation checklist gets each space camera-ready.
A photographer captures each scene on full-frame DSLR kit, five to ten minutes per scene. Drone 360s and still photography can be added on the same visit.
Every scene is individually edited and built into your branded tour. You review a draft, we refine it, then it goes live. With the optional CMS added, there is editing access for your team. Allow one to four weeks depending on size.
Designed and built from scratch for Schneider Electric, Airbus, DP World and Cox Marine, so visitors can understand a working facility without an induction or a guide. Read how they work, or open the live tours and look around.
The Ringmaster production line in build order, from the casting of the resin mouldings to the despatch bay. A build view shows the unit taking shape station by station, six quality gates explain what is tested, and Follow the build runs the whole tour on its own, with nothing to click.
The Aerospace Integrated Research and Test Centre at Airbus Filton. Three zones from the structural test hall to eight laboratories, the facts behind every space, footage of tests and construction, and the centre in numbers.
One of the UK’s busiest container terminals, from a drone view of the whole site to the gate, the yard, the rail terminal and the cab of a quay crane 70 metres up, with points for customers and for hauliers.
A factory tour that follows a diesel outboard down the line, from Goods in to Goods out. Eight stations in build order, a rev-counter dial for build progress, a spec sheet for each station and a look inside a test cell.
Follow a Ringmaster down the Schneider Electric production line in Leeds, look round the Airbus AIRTeC test centre at Filton, walk the Cox Marine outboard line, or see a container terminal from the air and the ground at DP World Southampton.
Bespoke 360 tours start from £700 and most fall between £700 and £5,000, priced on the number of scenes and the interface design, so larger tours cost proportionately less per scene. You get a clear quote before anything is booked. The CMS is an optional extra quoted with the tour, there is no ongoing cost of any kind, the interface is designed entirely around your brand, and they suit small and large sites alike. All prices exclude VAT.

The team at 360 Virtual tours were outstanding from the get-go! This was our first venture into 360 virtual tours and I spoke with a few companies before I found Matt and Mark and I immediately knew I found the company I wanted to work with. They explained the process well from the outset, were patient with our team’s questions and left everybody confident with the next steps. The final piece was delivered on time, on budget and far exceeded our expectations.Lee HuntCox Powertrain
We used 360 Virtual Tours to create a virtual tour of our academic institute/laboratories for public engagement purposes. The process and costs were very clear and the end product was exactly as expected, on time and high quality. I would use them again and recommend them for others in the scientific industry or academia.Dr Sean EliasUniversity of Oxford
Matthew and the team have been incredibly helpful and professional throughout the process of the 360 virtual tour. From the first call, to the finished product, everything ran smoothly and quickly. On the day, they were able to provide us with suggestions and comments for the best shots. The finished tour is excellent and better than we could have ever expected.Georgina BerryCity of London School
Can’t find the answer you’re looking for? Just get in touch, or even better, book a video consultation.
Yes. We work around shifts and safety rules, wear the required PPE and can shoot during planned downtime if machinery must be static. Sensitive equipment or documents can be blurred or masked before the tour goes live.
Yes. Tours can be password protected or restricted to your intranet, which suits recruitment previews, supplier audits and investor presentations that should not be public.
Airbus uses its tour to show AIRTeC, its research and test centre at Filton, to engineers worldwide, Cox Powertrain uses its tour for recruitment, and others use theirs for site inductions, customer visits and stakeholder engagement.
Large, complex sites usually suit a bespoke tour: fewer, carefully chosen scenes with hotspots explaining each process. Matterport works well for smaller units where an accurate floor plan or measurements are useful.
