UK - Cardiff International Arena, Wales' premium concert and events arena, owned by ClearChannel Entertainment, has appointed Star Rigging to ensure the rigging procedures on all events are implemented safely and within all legal guidelines. This contract sees Star Rigging building similar ongoing relationships with Newcastle Arena, Manchester's MEN Arena and London's Wembley Arena.

The company will manage all technical aspects of the rigging by careful planning and by supplying an in-house rigger to assist incoming riggers. In addition, directors Mark Armstrong and Phil Broad have produced a safe working procedures document specific to the venue.

The CIA venue manager Graham Walters commented: "We are aware of the reputation of Star Rigging and hope they will bring the same level of professionalism to the CIA as in the other venues they work in. Bringing in Star Rigging will be another factor in us making life as easy as possible for incoming productions and underlines our commitment to running safe events."
