This was a massive task that was taken on by the Showforce team
and my colleagues could not speak any higher of the crew on
site. The job was extended multiple times and everything from
the office to the crew on site was done with efficiency and
speed. Cannot recommend your team enough.

Testimonials
I have used Showforce for all the Michael McIntyre theatre
based TV shows produced by Hungry Bear Media, both at the
London Coliseum and now at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane.
With a severely restricted schedule every minute counted. We
had just 24 hours to get in everything overnight, then have
a full rehearsal, record the show that evening, and then turn
everything around ready for another performance of ‘Charlie
and the Chocolate Factory’ the next day. Showforce provided a
consistently excellent service with highly proficient crews, and we
will definitely be coming back for our next series in the summer.
Adrian Pegg - Line Producer - Hungry Bear Media
Imagination has been utilising the services of Showforce ever
since their inception 25 years ago, they have consistently
provided us with highly experienced and qualified crew. The
work we have asked of the crew is always so varied, from
Motorshows to working at our offices at Store Street – their teams
have always arrived on-site with the right attitude to get the best
possible results.
Being there from the very beginning, it’s been great to see the
progress of Showforce over the years, they are friends as well as
colleagues – which is a testament to the great work they do.
Trevor Oliver - Production Director - Imagination
Showforce has been my crewing company of choice for a
number of years now. I’ve come to rely on the experience, skill
sets and hard work demonstrated by their crew, it is exactly
what I need to successfully deliver events and shows. It is also
equally matched by the professionalism and organisational skills
of their operations team who have a great understanding of my
requirements.

Testimonials
Showforce have been the crew I have relied on for years. They
have dug me out of holes (sometimes literally) and made GPJ’s
delivery on site possible.
Whether it was impossibly tight load ins to livery halls for
Imagination, building hospitality structures on the roof of
Westfield shopping centre or taking local crews in hand in Milan,
Singapore or Berlin to get the job done Showforce have been
there and always exceeded expectations.
Showforce should produce a wedding album of Production
Managers weddings they have worked on – for my own I had 3
vans, 12 crew and Mic Murphy as chief to get everything ready
for my big day – you never forget that kind of help.
Mark Bannister – Technical Director - George P Johnson
As an industry we are very quick to criticise others, while often
not recognising the times when we notice colleagues (from
other suppliers) working beyond the level that would normally be
expected. This week is one of those cases. The incredible effort
made by your team has been truly inspiring. They have done
exceptional work in very difficult conditions. Your managers
attention to health and safety management on site has also
been outstanding. Briefings, Tool Box Talks, Planning, Welfare and
your teams overall professional look and attitude have all been
overviewed with great diligence.
The commitment from all your guys in all aspects of their work
this week has been simply incomparable.
Chris Woodford - Head of Events - A.C.T. Health & Safety
I am proud to say that Arena Seating and Showforce have had
a successful working partnership that is as strong today as it was
when I first met Ian in 1992. Showforce have always been at
the forefront of the industry with such great attention to detail
and a brilliant dedicated and hard working team from the
back office through to the crew on site. In my opinion, the true
qualities of crewing company are not just measured by how well
the crew perform on site but how the back office deal with the
inevitable problems and changes that occur in live events, how
they always manage to deal with those things and keep us ‘the
client’ happy! Something that Showforce have done for us for
many years now and long may it continue.
Terry Smith – Operations Director - Arena Seating
