Spirit Design, founded earlier this year by lighting designers Danny Evans and Justin Adams, has teamed up with Dave Bryant and Mike Townsend, following their recent departure from Midnight Design. They join an already expanding team with Maxie Knowles having come on board as general manager in May, and Damian Dowling, who joined in July, in place as business development director. Bryant and Townsend have joined at a critical stage in the development of the company, which hopes to be able to announce in the coming weeks a team of associate designers, who will play an important role in the future growth of the company, and further increase the already formidable design team.

Since it doesn’t own any equipment, Spirit Design can source the most relevant kit for a project and as it has a wealth of international experience within the company, can back this up with high levels of technical knowledge. "I look forward to having even greater creative freedom than being independent affords, and also the opportunity to look at the international expansion of the business," said Dave Bryant. "Spirit Design is very much the new style of company within the live event industry, operating as an independent lighting design house, incorporating a team of dedicated design professionals," said Damian Dowling. The company, working out of its West London offices, has already had a very busy year, working on projects such as the launch of the new Mercedes A Class series, HMV Conference in Spain, UDV for Bailey’s in Brazil and Guinness in Dublin, as well as a Nike event in London and Newcastle, the Cable & Wireless AGM and the sponsors village at the FA Charity Shield in Cardiff to name but a few.

The company is set for a busy end to its summer with projects such as the International Festival of the Seas 2001 in Portsmouth and the Avon Roadshow in August, as well as the BBC Proms in Hyde Park in September.
