Alan Thomson, a leading figure in the industry and formerly a director of PRG Europe, has joined Unusual to manage this new venture.
Alan brings over 30 years of experience in the provision of technical solutions within the entertainment industry and will be a valuable asset to Unusual.
Alan Jacobi, managing director of Unusual confirmed: "This is a major investment for the company. There is no doubt that the market in the Middle East continues to grow with an increasing demand for proven expertise in temporary and permanent rigging installation projects.
"Unusual Dubai will replicate the standards, which are synonymous with 25 years of our operations in the UK and overseas markets. In Alan Thomson, we welcome a colleague of the highest integrity to run our new business.
"Whilst we maintain our market leading position for entertainment based rigging in the UK, our specialised stage engineering service continues to grow with major projects scheduled in Dublin over the next two years. Our expanding strength and depth in the UK will provide a solid support for Unusual in Dubai."
