WBC 2014. I’m going to need your help.
WBC Denver 2014 If you cast your mind back to April this year you will remember that Mike Harris and Myself travelled to Italy to install the decor for BACI 2013. We worked hard, made a lot of new friends and had a fantastic time. Now Mike is a bit of an old veteran to WBC and 2014 will be this 3rd time in attendance but as for me, well it will be my first time so basically I’m a WBC Virgin. Now whilst in Italy I had the pleasure of meeting with Chelsea Gaspard form Pioneer Balloon...

Read MoreThe Italian Job
BACI 2013 Back in January this year I was approached by Pioneer Europe and asked the head the decor for BACI. Over previous years this decor had been designed and installed by the teachers but with their heavy work load and total commitment to training it’s one of those jobs that gets done at the last minute and causes stress to those involved, but this year was to be different as I was to head a team of volunteers to create some real impact decor…THE WOW FACTOR was about to...

Fluffy white clouds, giant foil suns and butterflies came to mind and no I had not been smoking anything. Then the client said she would like some planes in the design and sent me a picture of a...
