So Busy!

Hi All,
Sorry for the delay in updating my blog, it's just with the run-up to Christmas we've been so busy I haven't had time to update it. Since my last Blog we've done a few installs - replacing projectors etc and have a lot more work to do. One job we recently undertook was a upgrade to a lighting system for a theatre group. This involved removal and rewiring the old system with a DMX lighting controlled dimmer packs and new lamp replacements. We needed to hire in scaffold to get to the lighting rack and make adjustments. Hopefully the client will take our recommendation to have a electric driven truss installed, but I guess it's down to money in the end.

Aircelle Burnley had a "open day" and we supplied a few 42" LCD TV on K Stands with DVD Players attached. Over the next 48 hours we had 3 other large events to do, a  large event at Preston North End Football Club, and and in the end we got only 8 hours sleep in two days!!! after a good nights rest we had the Blackburn Harriers Centenary Dinner to cover held in the International Suite at Blackburn Rovers Football Club.

On the sales side of things we've noticed a sharp increase in the trade prices of electrical goods, while most companies are trying to hold off any price increases, I think it will only be till the New Year. With VAT going up to 20% and the high prices of electrical wholesale goods coming in, if your thinking of buying something like the new TV, BlueRay, PC etc I would do it now and not leave it much longer!!!

I know quite a few people expected to see us at the Witton Park Bonfire event this year for what would have been our 5th year, but in short things happened and while we are pleased that the charity event went well, we are very disappointed that the management at 107 The Bee influenced the Blackburn Bonfire committee to use a "out of town" stage instead of the local business!!

Today is another late one! We have a 15Mtr Stage to build with 12 x 10 screens, rear projection, PA, over 9 lapel radio mics, 2 hand held radio mics and of course the lighting for the event. So it time to sign out and load up for setting up. It's great to have "Young Criag Hessy" back with us to help out on this one, he's back to were it all started for him! - So come on Craig --- lets get cracking!
Bye 4 now

P.S. Good luck Rachel & Kevin on your wedding day this weekend, and also congrats to yor brother and bestman Lee celebrating his big 30th as well! Looking forward to the party!
