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 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...

All Air Filled Decor My clients brief was create something that will knock their client for 6 when they enter the room. The theme for the conference was Blue Skies and all they had for the awards event in the evening was blue LED up-lighters so with that in mind I set about creating the WOW factor. 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...

BACI, Florence, Italy 2013 So last year was awesome and who would think you could top what happened to me, suspended a bloke in a shopping centre with 8ft Chloroprene balloon for a week, shipped off to Macedonia to help with the TV programme “Idiot Abroad” and then a double spread in IMAGES magazine, WOW, what a year. So you would think this year would be a little bit calmer, well NO. I have been asked to head up the decor for the Gala Ball at BACI in Florence , Italy in April...
