Also working on smaller events in Prague, Munich, Amsterdam, Madrid, Davos ,Munich &Vienna.

We also currently have Vehicles in both Istanbul and Moscow on jaguar events.
Conferences and parties have kept us very busy in and around London, especially our 25t trucks at venues such as The Grosvenor, The Dorchester , Billingsgate, QE2, Wembley and the Royal Gardens (our accounts department being kept particularly busy dealing with the multiple parking tickets received, even at those events that had been granted parking dispensation)

Following on from a busy summer we went straight in to a busy touring schedule September through to Christmas.
Firstly can we begin by once again thanking all of our clients and friends for their wonderful and hugely appreciated confidence and support.
Four long running tours were coming to an end - Snow Patrol's worldwide tour culminated with an outdoor show at Ward Park in Northern Ireland. Likewise Faithless ended their current world tour with a run beginning in Brixton – London, ending with a huge indoor show in Arnhem.
The Fratellis also concluded with a Scottish arena tour and Razorlight played their last European shows of the current year.
Erasure set out on a European / U-K tour, Athlete began a comprehensive U-K tour as did The Editors, The Enemy, Ian Brown & The Twang along with Reverend & The makers.
Billy Connolly had begun a two month U-K tour & David Sylvian and Dream Theatre had set out on lengthy European tours.
Chemical Brothers continued on their worldwide tour visiting Moscow – St Petersburg – Kiev – Budapest & London late September into October. Then headed back out to Europe in mid November culminating with a U-K arena tour in December.
The European tour proved eventful for all of the wrong reason – The tour was overnighting from Bratislava to Bologna 26th/27th November (the trucks were all being double driven) when the gear box on one of the trucks 'blew up' an hour from the Austrian / Italian border at around 6am. A huge team effort ensued throughout the office, and through sourcing a replacement low ride Vehicle and two fresh drivers the trailer arrived in Bologna late pm (we had earlier swapped trailers to ensure that Production arrived and loaded in to the venue early afternoon) and the show was up and running less than an hour later. The show was universally acclaimed as being one of the best of the tour.
Early October saw Rufus Wainwright head out on a two month European tour – Amy Winehouse headed off to Europe followed by an extensive U-K tour, both Ray Lamontagne and Ladysmith Black Mombazo both began U-K theatre tours as did Bowling for soup/Bloodhound Gang.
Late October saw no let up at all as both The Foo Fighters and My Chemical Romance embarked on month long European / U-K tours - The Kaiser Chiefs and Bloc Party also set out on month long European tours, before both of them returning to the U-K in December for U-K arena tours.
Early November saw Marilyn Mansun set out on a two month European tour - beginning in St Petersburg on the 10th of November and ending In Tallinn on the 22nd of December. The beginning of the tour proved interesting, whilst the production trucks headed down to Lisbon for a load in on the 18th November the backline truck left Moscow after a show on the 14th November, met with a smaller Vehicle on the Russian / Latvian border to transfer some of the backline which then double drove to Montpellier for a show on the 17th, arriving at 11am on show day.
Comedian Bill Bailey set out on a month long U-K arena tour on the 3rd November, closely followed by Rihanna who began a European / U-K arena tour on the 10th of November.
