For organisations like the Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS), the success of their Honour’s ceremony is no exception. It’s not hard to imagine the frustration felt when outsourcing critical elements like staging or A/V, only to find they fall short of expectations.
When Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS, UK) transitioned their Honours ceremony from Worcester to Coombe Abbey, they encountered unexpected challenges with the events setup. Issues with the staging and the staging’s ramps impacted the overall presentation, leaving RLSS seeking a solution that would enhance the quality of the prestigious ceremony. This created a pressing need to find a reliable partner that could deliver a seamless experience and ensure the ceremony was conducted with the professionalism it deserved.
Having partnered with First Sight Media since 2021 for their graduations, RLSS turned to their trusted production partner to take on the Honours ceremony at Coombe Abbey. Understanding the importance of getting it right the first time and the need for precision in mind, three tailored production options were presented to meet the specific needs of the event and ensure the perfect fit for the venue. This allowed RLSS to confidently choose a solution that aligned with their vision, ensuring both their team and their dedicated on-site producer were working toward the same goal.
Careful consideration was given to the stage design, with ramps meticulously measured and fitted to the space provided—so much so that two site visits were made to ensure everything aligned seamlessly, ensuring a perfect result the first-time round.
The set up included:
This level of attention to detail, combined with proactive planning, meant that every aspect of the production was executed flawlessly from the outset. RLSS UK was able to rely on a solution that not only met their unique requirements but did so with the confidence that everything was done right the first time, delivering a smooth and stress-free experience for their team.
"We turned to First Sight Media to help us honour our volunteers across the UK with a live ceremony in Coventry that we could broadcast nationwide. Their expertise in audio-visual production allowed us to deliver a seamless, high-quality event both in the venue and online, making it possible for members across the country to participate. We were impressed by their top-notch equipment and their adaptable, accessible approach, which is invaluable for a charity like ours. The team’s friendly support made all the difference!"
