Edwin Shirley Staging (ESS), the international staging and structures specialist, made a welcome return to London’s Hyde Park for the 2002 BBC Proms in the Park series. The event took place over the middle weekend of September.

After the successful completion of last year’s event ESS were commissioned to provide an ESS Orbit staging solution with PA wings and screen supports. In advance of the event the organizers were predicting that this year’s concerts expected to attract record numbers due to a popular repertoire choice and good weather prospects. This event marks the second major event in the park that ESS has attended to during the summer of 2002 the former being the five stage arrangement implemented during the Golden Jubilee celebrations.

Tim Norman, managing director for ESS, said: "It’s extremely good for us to be able to return to the Proms series after the success of last year’s event. This caps a very strong summer season for our staging offering in the UK, which has helped our London office to maintain momentum during a generally challenging business period for the industry at large."
