Blog 5

So, it’s been a while since the last blog.

Who knows where the time has gone, a lot has happened since the last one.

We’ve upped sticks and moved workshop, now based just off the Purley Way in Croydon, it was sad to leave Ladywell, a lovely little village situated in the heart of London, but that place had run it’s course and it was time to move on and take a larger space here. The move has worked out well, situated in amongst a lovely community of set builders, metalworkers and everything inbetween. Croydon has everything we could need all at close hand and if you like a trip to the retail parks, it would be hard to find many places better.

Work wise, it’s been a steady flow of TV, events and commercial work. The first job in the new workshop was a little travelling set for the BBC’s Saturday night National Lottery show, that one went literally from one end of the UK to the other. A pilot called Family Assemble, also for the BBC and hosted by Strictly’s Claudia Winkleman saw us produce some scaled down models of the planets of the solar system and some prop rsj’s that were a lot of fun to make. Although initially a one-off, the broadcaster and producers will be hoping that the show can become a full series, one that also has potential to travel around the world as a format.

That took up most of May, moving into the early part of June we produced a lovely floral display for Roberto Carvalli and also some beautiful high gloss plinths for the clothing brand River Island, that feature in their Autumn/Winter campaign that they have just launched.

More to follow soon involving pop up shops and installing a TV chat show set into a radio recording studio….
