Our brief was to turn the Etihad stadium public areas and the new Academy into a festive wonderland, with just four weeks to design and deliver the entire scheme.

To get the project completed took a dedicated project team and a lot of planning, especially as the client made some large extra requests at the last minute.

It was also stated in the brief that the dressing of all spaces was to take place over two nights, with no disruption to staff and the running of the stadium. To achieve that, as much pre-production work as possible was completed in our own 32,000 square-foot warehouse and delivered to site in modules that only required lighting and final dressing. All work was then inspected down to the smallest of detail for quality and safety standards.

The result was a world-class festive atmosphere and a very satisfied client.
