Italy - Following a very successful first year, in which business targets for the first two years were exceeded, Star Orbit Italia has moved to larger offices. A total of 35 Star Orbit stages were erected in 2005 around Italy, ranging in size from 12m to 20m spans and extra equipment is currently being manufactured to build up the Italian stocks.The benefit of the operation was also dramatically demonstrated on Live 8 weekend in 2005, when the UK industry completely ran out of stage roofs. But Star Events Group was able to come to the rescue provide a 20m Orbit system by shipping it over from Italy to the organisers of B-Live on Clapham Common at very short notice.
To make things interesting, access to the beach is so difficult that all the equipment had to be delivered by ocean going barge and the Star Events team were able to fully demonstrate their logistical skills.Staff in the Star Orbit Italia office speak Italian, English and French. Orbit Italia has new phone number +39 02.982.630.60.(Chris Henry)
