It s about leading-edge technology One of the most exciting aspects of our business is the range and quality of the audio visual, lighting, staging and production equipment we use.

We offer a huge inventory of equipment, from cameras and sound systems to the latest projection and display technology backdrops, along with industry-leading expertise in its application. Every item is well maintained and presented, with all logistical and organisational aspects managed by MCL.

It s about living in a widescreen world With widescreen technology, we can create simply stunning staging solutions. A bespoke, branded backdrop presented over a large, widescreen canvas offers the space for impressive displays and presentations, while our state-of-the art widescreen system gives you the flexibility and control needed to deliver a truly powerful, interactive cinematic experience. There s an important human dynamic at play here, too: quite simply, every one can see. So everyone knows what s going on and feels a part of it. Picture-in-picture and multiple-source technology add further creative dimensions, all devised by MCL s expert team and managed on site, so that you and your guests can simply sit back and enjoy the show.

It s about health and safety, too At MCL we have the excellent health and safety record that you would expect from a leading company in this field. Our professionally-qualified health and safety manager works to ensure that we meet legislative standards while our project managers, with their in-depth industry experience, are well-placed to advise on specific events. Suppliers and contractors go through a stringent approvals process, whilst risk assessments, site inductions and the close monitoring of working practices all contribute to reducing the risk of accidents or injury. Health and safety training is tailored to match the needs of each MCL employee and an appreciation of the importance of adhering to health and safety standards is firmly embedded in our culture. We also run client seminars to encourage a broader awareness not only of our own safety procedures but of legal requirements too. With health and safety top of our agenda, you can concentrate on your event.

It s about carbon, naturally MCL s network of branches enables us to reduce our carbon footprint through reduced travel distances and logistical efficiencies. We are on the road towards offering carbon-neutral event solutions and we actively promote the use of stage sets that can be recycled without harming their creative and visual effectiveness, or compromising their durability. On a broader stage, as a company we invest in the latest low-power equipment to help meet our clients needs and our collective responsibility to the wider world.
