Hawthorn Supply Pro Retail 2006
After a four-year gap, Hawthorn has worked on Pro Retail once again this year. The number one retail trade show in the UK, Pro Retail is held at Telford’s International Centre.
Hawthorns were contracted by DB Systems Ltd to provide lighting, sound, rigging, staging, power distribution, starcloth and crew for the two day event.
Hawthorn’s project manager Matt Oscroft specified Clay Paky Alpha Spots and Alpha Wash lights, supplemented with Pulsar’s LED Par 36s and Thomas LED battens. For control, he chose an Avolites Sapphire and Irad Pixel drive.
In order for Hawthorns to get across their design concepts, Oscroft used their brand new WYSIWYG suite, providing visuals and complex designs for both DB Systems and the final client, Palmer and Harvey. This software proved to be invaluable as time was limited on site and there were no space or time for errors.
Oscroft’s sound spec included Martin line array and an Aztec mixer for the two evening’s events – the desk having the capability to cope with two live bands for both evenings. In addition to the line array, Martin Wavefront speakers were used to condense the sound to the dance floor for the live bands.
