Seddon Homes
Seddon Homes in the Peak District had another grand opening. Does it always rain in the Peak District?
Ubuntu Fund
Here’s our 3rd drop at The Roundhouse in Camden for a charity event to fund a primary school. We attached our net across the Hex-Truss as usual and this time the 2 pull lines were run to the control desk on the balcony. We were asked to pull the strings and drop the balloons so […]
London Revolution
Here’s the arches for The London Revolution cycling event at Windsor Racecourse and Lee valley sports centre. We had all day Friday to build 15 arches, both locations were ready at 5am Saturday with 10 arches in Windsor and 5 at Lee Valley. I also made a short walk though video: David – Congratulations on […]
Genivi
Genivi placed this order direct from Vegas. We decorated The Hyatt and Hall4 ICC, finally found some use for “Robins Egg Blue”.
Speller Metcalfe
Here’s the Speller Metcalfe balloons in Hall 4, ICC Birmingham. 55 Table decorations printed 2 sides, 2 colours. This was a 2 hour installation with 2 staff.
Q
Here’s the Q sculpture I built for PRC Direct. To get a nice strong outdoor frame I forced 5 aeropole rods into a circle. The Sapphire balloons were top printed to help promote the new Samsung TV’s
Barbican
Here’s my first drop at the Barbican Centre in London. This was 1000 balloons held back stage and you can see part of the drop in action in the tweets below:
Turquoise
When a client asks for Turquoise Balloons it usually means 6 possible options. In the Qualatex range there’s Caribbean Blue, Robins Egg Blue (who’s Robin and why are his eggs Blue?) and Tropical Teal. There’s even a Pearl Teal which is a mad dark green which gets even more confusing. In the Belbal range there’s […]
Barclaycard Arena
This arch at The Barclaycard Arena in Birmingham is longer than the average arch. Usually the arches I build are made with 5 or 6 carbon poles but this one used 8. I wouldn’t feel comfortable using 8 poles outdoors even in calm conditions but indoors it was stable and framed the athletes entrance.
EIS
I installed a couple of arches this morning for the British Athletics indoor meeting at EIS Sheffield. One of the arches was supposed to be outside but as it was forecast to snow for the 2 days we decided it was better to install both indoors. Snow tends to be heavy and the frame work […]
NYE 2016
This New Years events all went smoothly (a bit like last year). I had more work in London this year including the above photo from The Hippodrome in Leicester Square. You may be interested to know that at the turn of the 19th century live animals were thrown from this balcony. I found the best […]
