EVENTS PRODUCT IN FOCUS Event Structures National Strategy for Economic Development, Dundee Product: Staging, backdrops and visitor seating Supplier: QUICKBLOCK, 0141 478 0365, info@quickblock.uk, www.quickblock.uk Details: The Scottish government was launching its National Strategy for Economic Development and QUICKBLOCK was chosen to provide some of the event infrastructure. Businesses are being challenged to be more sustainable and are tasked with looking at the environmental impact of events and how to reduce it. The fact QUICKBLOCK is made from 100% recycled plastic, which otherwise would contribute to landfill or ocean waste, was a major factor in the procurement process and final decision. The versatility and speed in which you can assemble, reconfigure and disassemble QUICKBLOCK allowed the contractors to spend more time on problem areas and less time on erecting the event infrastructure as there was no requirement for special tools or construction skills. Due to it’s innovative, modular design, the solutions available are endless. For this event, QUICKBLOCK’s Main Stage, Visitor Seating and Location Backdrops were chosen, all of which were assembled in less than one and a half hours. The 4.8m x 2m stage with wooden platform was built in 20 minutes. The platform was then carpeted to provide a clean, professional finish. The event required enough seating for a minimum of 50 visitors. 10 corner sofas and 10 benches, which included all-weather seat pads, were assembled in 45 minutes. Backdrops were used to create areas for people to meet, as part of the shell scheme infrastructure and as cordons to stop people from entering restricted areas. Two contractors erected these backdrops in 25 minutes having had no previous experience using the product. Customer feedback: Marketing and communications director Gill Simpson said: “We absolutely love the QUICKBLOCK product and it reflects our business values perfectly. Its flexibility means we can use it at our varying events, and it is always a huge talking point that makes our space stand out from the crowd. The QUICKBLOCK team are the friendliest and most hard working we have come across, and whenever we work with them it simply feels like they are an extension of our own team. I couldn’t recommend QUICKBLOCK more!” WWW.OPENAIRBUSINESS.COM 59
