PRODUCT
Drive In Cinema with
Superior Sound
SCHEDULED TO deliver over 300 screenings in 2018, to more than
200,000 people, Skylight has added wireless speakers to its unique
‘drive in’ package by investing £12,000 in Bluetooth technology.
The speakers are provided to the audience upon arrival to put in
their cars, and give a far superior audio experience compared to
traditionally tuning in via the stereo.
“We are keen to stay ahead of the game while delivering the best
possible experience to our customers. Investing in these speakers
saves our customers over £800 on the license, hours of paperwork
and months of application lead time,” said managing director
Warwick Royden. www.skylightcinema.co.uk
Introducing Wild Hart
THE CLASSIC Pod Company is expanding and has
become Wild Hart. Set up in 2016 by carpenter
Nick Sneller, the company was originally formed to
design and manufacture cabins and pods but has
since diversified into other areas.
Based in the South West of England, Wild Hart’s
ethos remains to use sustainably sourced timber and
to work collaboratively to support local business but
has expanded its range of products to incorporate
naturalistic playgrounds and furniture.
With 25 years' woodworking experience and a
love of nature, designer/maker Nick Sneller worked
as lead carpenter in the triple gold medal winning
Zoflora and Caudwell Children’s Wild Garden at
the RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show. He
has collaborated to produce timber playgrounds,
including that at the Museum of Welsh Life, and
has produced catapults for Caerphilly Castle. Also a
maker of home furniture, from kitchen to garden, the
new Wild Hart brand includes Wild Hart Cabins, Wild
Hart Play and Wild Hart Home. www.wild-hart.co.uk
