Lord's - the Home of Cricket - has hosted a range of external events over the past 12 months, including the International Wine Challenge, British Swimming Awards Dinner, and the LTI Taxi launch, in addition to the internationally acclaimed MCC Spirit of Cricket Cowdrey Lecture in July last year.
Nick Kenton, meetings & events sales manager at Lord's Cricket Ground, said, "Aztec Event Services, Smyle, and Fisher Productions are three of the leading lights in the audio visual industry, and I am delighted they are now official suppliers at Lord's. With Eclipse Presentations continuing to offer in-house support, clients now have more choice and flexibility for AV solutions, which allows us to provide a world class service from the best in the business."
John Robson, Aztec managing director, said: "This is another step in our expansion of audio visual service offerings to sporting venues that host conferences and meetings. We believe that Lord's chose us because of our experience in this type of venue, and our reputation for quality, reliability and efficiency which reflects the same ethos as that of Lord's. We have worked at Lord's before and see this as the beginning of a closer long-term relationship."
Rick Stainton, Smyle's managing director, said: "Smyle has been blessed through being able to produce events in some of the UK's most historical venues. Our team are absolutely thrilled that another of London's unique venues has recognised our capabilities. We are renowned for our technical creativity and the team are really looking forward to reinforcing this reputation by producing events in this globally iconic venue."
Kelly Yeomans, venue relationship manager at Fisher Productions, added: "Fisher are very excited to be appointed by Lord's Cricket Ground to provide creative production. Lord's is a particularly versatile canvas for events therefore Fisher Productions are looking forward to providing creative solutions for the Ground's future clients."
