Testimonials​

“ We were in the fortunate position of witnessing massive growth over the last financial year and Mike was brought in to assess our current structure and propose alterations required to cope with such growth. Implementation was fast and hit the spot. He kicked off our 5 new tower projects and left us in a great position and set-up for success.
We still use Mike’s services on a regular basis and would definitely recommend. Thank you Mike. I’ll see you in a few weeks time!”

Jennifer Walters​ ~ North Star Contracting.

“Mike hit the spot with guidance for our ‘fake glass’ usage and it’s breaking pattern on-set. We were using an old method that was becoming harder to find and implement realistically. Great assistance at every stage.”

Chris North

Set Manager at River Road Entertainment

“We had trouble with orchestra overspill for a production due to run for 18-months. Mike created an overspill glass box in the bar area. A seemingly crazy idea, but we heard nothing in the bar area and it worked a charm.”

Janice Anderson

Production Director at Palace Theatre

“Mike was known to me from previous work where he refreshed and implemented our internal glazing procedures. He was my first choice for help with team restructuring. I recommend without hesitation.”

Operations Manager at Glass Line
