Wyvern Cargo | 50th Anniversary Party & Awards

150 guests

Full event production for Wyvern Cargo's 50th anniversary party and awards at The Tank Museum, Bovington, including staging, lighting, screens, set and live Showband support for 150 guests.

Introduction

Step 1

Brief

Wyvern Cargo needed its 50th anniversary properly marked, a party and awards evening for 150 guests inside The Tank Museum, a venue built around genuine armoured vehicles rather than a conventional event space.

The brief called for full staging, lighting, screens and set design, alongside production support for a live Showband performance as the evening’s centrepiece entertainment.

An awards segment recognising long serving staff needed to run smoothly alongside the celebration, with correct music and cues for every winner announced on the night.

The unusual venue also called for lighting design that worked with the museum’s own exhibits rather than around them, making the most of a genuinely distinctive setting.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

Nigel Ballard

Artisan Productions made our company's 50th anniversary event run seamlessly from start to finish. From the very first enquiry, Devon Bennett was attentive, creative, and full of ideas that truly wowed our employees. The set looked fantastic, and nothing was ever too much trouble for Devon and his team. Artisan supplied the staging, lighting, screens, and sound system, all of which worked perfectly for our event. On the night, there was even an unexpected change in the order of awards that I wasn't aware of as the organiser. Impressively, they picked up on it instantly and ensured the correct sting music was played, saving the moment and keeping everything flawless. The professionalism, flexibility, and attention to detail shown by Devon and the Artisan Productions team were outstanding. I would highly recommend them to anyone planning an event and will certainly be using their services again in the future.
