As a

company, White Light is proud to have established itself as one of the leading

technical suppliers to the broadcast industry. From the coverage of the Winter

Olympic Games and UEFA Euro Championships to the more recent BBC Proms and Festival

of Remembrance, as a company, we have proven that we are able to work on a

range of projects and deliver the exact technical solutions required;

especially in these ever-uncertain times. And whilst we are normally kept busy

behind the camera, recently we have been making an appearance in front of it,

with our team and projects being featured on several broadcasts. As such, we

thought we’d put together a quick blog which highlights our various small

screen cameos.  

On Friday 27^th

November, Channel 5’s The Gadget Show included a feature on SmartStage. The

segment focused on the development of xR and mixed-reality and how our

technology and innovation is helping client across all sectors to deliver their

projects in the these challenging and restrictive times. It featured our

Technical Solution’s Director Andy Hook taking presenter Georgie Barrat through

the immersive, all-encompassing xR experience and was filmed at both WL’s HQ

and London’s Science Museum, which allowed viewers to see first-hand how the

workflow runs and how guests are able to be ‘teleported’ into the space. You

can watch the episode in full here.

BBC Breakfast

On Saturday

31^st October, BBC Breakfast featured a segment on how Covid-19 has

impacted the live events industry and how it urgently needs government support.

As a leading company in this sector, as well as one of the largest supporters

behind the #WeMakeEvents campaign, we were invited on as guests and our

Managing Director Bryan Raven was interviewed about how the impact was being

felt specifically at WL. The segment, which was filmed at our Wimbledon base,

also featured an interview with Customer Services Team Leader Andy who is

currently celebrating 27 years with the company. You can watch the video here.

ITV

London

On Sunday

22^nd November, ITV London ran a segment about the Covent Garden Christmas

Tree lights which were being installed as part of the capital’s festive

celebrations. The bulletin featured lots of footage of the installation and, as

the company that was supplying the lighting fixtures and has done since 2012,

our team were unsurprisingly captured on camera. Our favourite shot was that of

On-Site Project Manager George Thruston on a cherry picker, meticulously attaching

some lights to one of the tree branches. You can find out more about the Covent

Garden Lights here.
