Vertigo Rigging built the platform on twin truss legs, with the platform itself mounted atop 52cm Libera flat section truss using the company's latest decking product, Flightdeck. The structure, pre-rigged and lifted in and out by crane, was secured to the building's canopy using rigging points previously installed at Selfridges by Vertigo for a promotional event in 2004.
Clear Island Productions supplied the PA and lights, while Mojo Barriers provided barriers. Security - which included closing a section of Oxford Street to traffic - was coordinated by the New West End Company, which is reponsible for the Christmas lights themselves.
