Working to Benedict’s designs, Littlehampton Welding craftsmen built a wire-frame replica of a Range Rover Evoque car, and a 10m diameter by 3m high football “cage” based on a tyre maker’s new product.

Ian Dicker, of Littlehampton Welding, said the Riverside Industrial Estate-based business had enjoyed being involved in yet another two stylish and interesting projects.

Benedict paid tribute to the Littlehampton team.

“They have given me lots of advice and I’ve been learning the tricks of the trade when it comes to using steel,” he added.

The car artwork was unveiled at this month’s Geneva Motor show.

The giant steel cage, built for Continental Tyres, made its debut a few weeks earlier outside Paris’ Stade de France stadium on the night of an international match against Brazil.
