COP28

The Showforce crew were onsite for 118 days in total, our first day was 19^th September with 40 crew, numbers grew during the build and peaked at 184 a day. Our international crew chiefs were tasked with managing teams that were split across 30 departments and Identity’s production and operations teams. Responsibilities included supporting with installation of LED screens, lighting and sound equipment, rigging, furniture, scenic elements, running cables, Heras fencing and crowd control barriers. We also had three site managers onsite from early November until the middle of December.

Another key element of the contract was the provision of plant equipment, we hired 19 forklifts and telehandlers, on behalf of Identity, and supplied a team of multilicence plant operators with all the relevant training and certification.  This was all overseen by our dedicated plant manager.

During event days there were technicians and crew who assisted with both meeting and VVIP room set-ups.

For the event de-rig numbers grew to 253 and whilst the majority of work was carried out from 14^th-31^st December, a small satellite team remained onsite until the 15^th January to provided assistance with the final out.

As always, the work carried out by our back-office operations team was exemplary, which really highlights the importance of the work that they do. The conduit between the client, crew onsite and our crew manager they ensured that crew scheduling, bookings and onsite project delivery was completely aligned with Identity’s requirements. 

“We couldn’t achieve what we achieve without the long-standing collaborative support of our valued partners, including Showforce.”
