Hawthorns afloat in Venice

Italy - Continuing a busy year of overseas work for the projects team at Hawthorns, the team recently worked on a five-venue global dealer conference in Venice. A logistical challenge in itself due to the lack of roads! Having off-loaded the artic' at the docks, all the kit was loaded by crane onto a specialist barge then onto one of each of the remote venues and the same in reverse. "Not quite the romantic images that one normally conjures up sailing down the Grand Canal, but still great fun," said Hawthorn's Simon Wood. "We always like a challenge and something a little bit different and this certainly was!"

Hawthorns supplied lighting, sound and rigging and power distribution for the events with in-house personnel on site throughout.
