Union Jack Classic 🏈

The Union Jack Classic brought college football to Wembley Stadium for the first time, and our crews were working on both sides of the stadium. For Confetto Productions and NEP, one team installed the coaches, instant replay and media gantry booths, a control booth, camera platforms and pipe and drape inside, creating the spaces the teams, officials and production crew needed for the game and its broadcast.

Outside, our second crew built the stage for FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff, which was making its first trip outside the US. With bespoke elements designed and fabricated in our own workshop and a week of round-the-clock work on site, it was a job every department had a hand in.

Burghley Horse Trials

Burghley Horse Trials gave us the full range of British weather this year, with sunshine in the morning and rain by the afternoon.

Our team worked through all of it to install six camera towers, a camera platform, four Marshalls platforms, four sets of access staircases and the framework for the LED screen. Soft ground and poor visibility slow an outdoor build down, but the schedule stays the same, so the crew kept going carefully and steadily to make sure the production team had everything ready when they needed it.

British Open Snooker

The British Open returned to The Centaur at Cheltenham Racecourse, and our team turned the racecourse events hall into a televised snooker arena. Working alongside WST and ITV Sport, we delivered the arena sets, lighting trusses, camera towers, commentary boxes, walk on structure and ITV studio, ready for the tournament and its broadcast.

English Open Snooker

This year marked our fifth consecutive English Open at The Brentwood Centre. Our team built the arena for WST and Matchroom, including the sets, lighting truss, commentary boxes and players walk on, and our event cover crew handled the reconfiguration as the tournament went from four tables to two, and then to one.

Macmillan Coffee Morning 💚

Our annual Macmillan Coffee Morning was another lovely chance to raise money for a cause the team cares about. Everyone came in with plenty of homemade treats to share, and it was a welcome excuse to take a break from a busy few weeks, and sample some impressive baking (or in some cases, buying). Together we raised £272 for Macmillan Cancer Support, and we’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who baked, donated and joined in.

Client Feedback

Five venues across Antiques Roadshow series 49, none of which our team had worked at before, meant every location brought something new to plan for, so we were delighted to receive this feedback from Ash Morris at the BBC once the series wrapped.
