Newcastle Quayside-based The R&B Group has a staff of 15 and offers a complete technical solution for presentations, events or shows using the most progressive technical equipment available in the industry. Its work takes them across the country and abroad and is synonymous with many household names such the Royal Shakespeare Company, Royal College of Nursing, Newcastle Chronicle & Journal Ltd, Northern Arts and the eye-catching launch of Gateshead's Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art.
The company's marketing team has just returned from a successful city conference with the Newcastle Gateshead Initiative, aimed at attracting London buyers into hosting their events and conferences in the North East, or to use the expertise base in the region for their events anywhere in the world. Antony Crerar, a director at The R&B Group said: "We are currently working on jobs such as the Chartered Institute of Housing's annual conference in Harrogate, and exporting our technical expertise down south to host an Orange business managers' team meeting event in London. Whether major business names want an event staged in the surroundings of Newcastle/Gateshead and our other north east cities, or need our technical experts to come to them anywhere in the world, we are fast becoming one of the biggest UK based technical back-up team for events held anywhere."
This global approach can be seen in the latest contract win for The R&B Group, which is to provide DFDS Seaways with sound systems for its cruise liners the Prince and Queen of Scandinavia, for its journeys to Scandinavia.
