Our small floolight rig is all ready for PJ’s big night out on Saturday. This rig is available for hire (£50 per day, 2 rigs + controller) and is part of our range of lighting.

It has the advantage of being able to run off a single 13 Amp socket so is ideal for smaller events.

New additions to our event stock include this 2m x 1m aluminium staging platform. Ideal when all you need is a podium not a full stage. It’s very strong with removable legs and the platform can also be dismantled if necessary into 4 sections.

We also have these really useful weatherproof (IP55) connector boxes which enable temporary use of up to 4-way 13 Amp plug connection using extension reels or trailing plug boards.

We have a bit of tidying up to do after last week’s events!

Here’s Jon setting up the equipment earlier this week for our virtual ‘Beat the Bolt’ challenge. You run on the spot and appear to be in the world record race with time and distance counting down very fast!

You can take part in this, our video booth and many other activities until Sunday at Enginuity, Coalbrookdale.

A very cold day was spent filming an assortment of vans, trucks and trailers at Allports Group HQ, Fradley. We’re hosting web video productions for them and their new ‘Allports TV’ channel.

Hosting web video is a new service wre’re providing which eliminates many of the problems that can happen when using other services such as YouTube. Packages can be provided on a monthly basis, tailored to your requirements.

We’ve been testing and tweaking the lighting and sound for Telford Town Park’s torchlight parade.

The new staging podium has come in useful already. Fingers crossed for good weather next week!

Enterprise Days is a business which brings Young Apprentice style business skills to schools throughout the UK.

Emma had a little help from Lord Sugar to achieve the largest vote in the competition but her mature business approach and skills sets her apart from others her own age, and lots of those much older. Emma is also a student of the Peter Jones Business Academy, so has a thorough training in enterprise.

It was a pleasure working with Emma and we hope to be working more with her and her business in the future.

She also happened to mention that she loves singing, so our recording studio may well be hearing her singing voice too in the coming months.

So, check out Enterprise Days and get your local schools to employ this exciting new business to really bring new schools to the next generation.
