Football Association Appoint Blitz
The Football Association (FA) has appointed Blitz Vision as its preferred supplier of audio visual equipment for the sponsors club at all future FA events, wherever they are held in the UK. The events include The FA International (England senior squad) matches, FA Cup Semi Finals, FA Cup Final and The FA Community Shield.
Blitz Vision will provide The FA with a full range of AV equipment and will be working exclusively with Tony Ball Associates (TBA) which has been appointed by The FA to produce their events.
The first event supported by Blitz Vision in this new capacity was the friendly match between England and Spain at Old Trafford on 7th February 2007, where Blitz supplied a range of technologies including a multi plasma rig and multi camera rig. This system allowed for live editing during the game.
Paul Hutton, managing director of Blitz said: "We're delighted to be partnering with The FA and are looking forward to the imminent opening of the new Wembley Stadium where our team will become a regular fixture."
Fiona Swainston, who manages the supplier relationship on behalf of The FA said: "We went through a fairly rigorous process to choose suppliers who would support our vision for how we needed our sponsor hospitality facility to look and feel. Our key requirements were quality equipment, a can-do attitude and the overall offering to be backed up by the sort of customer service The FA expects."
