This year SPS and PTP teamed up with Qudos Productions to provide staging and production expertise for the Investment Week awards, the British Insurance awards, and the Motor Transport awards over a three-day period. The tight schedule was dictated by the limited time period when a false floor can be fitted in the hall to accommodate the 1,400 capacity audiences at these kinds of events. Following the success of previous years, it was decided to run the events consecutively to maximize the hall availability and ensure the smooth running of the events. SPS supplied video projection, camera systems, video playback and video record, to supplement the graphic systems provided by PTP and Qudos for the events which, due to the set up of the Albert Hall, were a challenge for all involved.
The next projects for PTP and SPS include the Q Magazine Awards, the Media Week Awards and the Mother & Baby Awards - all coming up in October 2002.
