ESS, together with Earls Court, developed the overall solution and managed the installation of the grid, which will also carry a new general hall lighting system for Earls Court One. "This is a major transformation which revolutionizes the way Earls Court One is used by our organizing partners," said Nigel Nathan, Earls Court and Olympia commercial director. "In re-defining the space we can now offer a growing number of smaller shows the benefits of our unique location, constantly upgraded facilities, top class customer service and the Earls Court brand.
"The new system will give an organiser the flexibility to use as much or as little space as they require," added Nathan. "We are confident that many organisers will now be very keen to host their shows at Earls Court One. This is yet another example of us listening to our customers and matching our facilities with the needs of the marketplace."
The new grid system is already in demand and Earls Court expect the first show using the new system to be taking place in May 2002.
