AVW Win ABTT Award for Pegasus Power Flying System
AVW have again won the prestigious Product of the Year award in the Engineering category at this year’s ABTT Theatre Show for Pegasus; their new Power Flying System. They won the same award previously in 2002 for their very successful Impressario motion control system.
Anton Woodward, managing director of AVW, was presented with the award by Secretary of the ABTT, Robin Townley at the annual ABTT awards dinner. On receiving the award, Anton commented: “We are very pleased to win this award, though of course designer Mike Barnett should take most of the credit!"
The Pegasus Power Flying solution, comprising the Alpha, Beta, Delta, Omega and Pi hoists is designed to complement the Impressario stage automation system, so that AVW can offer the complete power flying solution. In collaboration with respected mechanical design engineer Mike Barnett, AVW has designed a range of hoists for use in theatre and entertainment venues, primarily for lifting scenery, lighting bars and curtain tracks. For over 20 years the ABTT has provided industry-wide recognition for exceptional products that serve the entertainment industry, Pegasus stood out from the crowd, impressing the judges with its zero-fleet technology at an unbeatable price.
