A team approach

the EMS approach picture

Creating events is usually done under some element of time pressure. And that requires a team to help ensure you deliver on schedule.
We have a group of individuals who’ve worked together on countless assignments and they share an ability to get things done right and on time.

One recent event we produced was a product launch staged in a restaurant, with limited access points. The extensive scaffolding could only be erected after the lunch serving had finished at 4 pm, yet it had to be completely dismantled 2 hours later.

Our team completed a feasibility assessment before we agreed to take the job on, and in the process resolved most of the anticipated issues. Thus, a potentially difficult event passed without a hitch.

We believe in having duplicates pieces of equipment

event production

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know technology can spring surprises. It sometime malfunctions, doesn’t fit the socket it’s supposed to, runs a battery down faster than it should.

Our philosophy is simple. If it’s important, we have duplicates, and even triplicates of the item and bring them along.

We also make a point of having some of the newest stock. We regularly upgrade our stock long before it’s likely to ever become unreliable.

Experience counts

event production

We’ve been creating events for over 9 years and regularly work in over 50 different venues.

Because of this, our team knows a lot of the back-stairs geography of many of London’s hotels and conference centres. This helps a lot when you’re planning an event, because we can minimise the disruption and noise that installing an event often creates.
