  1. White Light Receives Marching Orders for Fusiliers Gala Dinner

    Comments Off on White Light Receives Marching Orders for Fusiliers Gala Dinner

    GD-1The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers is an infantry regiment of the British Army, specifically part of the Queen’s division. They have been involved in every major conflict over the last 400 years and are made up of four English Fusilier regiments. One of these are The Royal Fusiliers (City of London Regiment) who recently held a Gala Dinner with Historic Royal Palaces at the Tower of London. As a HRP cross-palace approved supplier, WL was called upon to provide the technical support.

    The event took place on Monday 2nd October. Guests arrived on the evening to an exclusive look at the crown jewels. This was followed by a drinks reception and dinner in the New Armouries space. The evening also included a silent auction, a series of speeches before concluding with a live auction.

    The event was overseen by WL’s Project Manager Marcus Wadland. He comments: “Whenever you’re working in a venue such as the Tower of London, it’s important to ensure that you embrace your surroundings. On events such as this, it’s about coupling the historic architecture with the latest technology to give the client the best experience possible – regardless of the size of the event”.

    As part of its support, WL drew on a range of the latest audio equipment included EMS 121 Loudspeakers, FFA 6004 Amplifiers, Yamaha QL1 Mixer and Shure microphones. Marcus explains: “The evening was a celebration of the Fusiliers and so contained lots of speeches along with the silent auction. In a space as vast and open as the New Armouries, it was important to ensure there was equal audio coverage and that everyone in attendance felt a part of the evening”.

    GD2Alongside the audio support, WL also supplied a range of on-site video technicians to programme the in-house video equipment. The WL team arrived on site late afternoon, having to ensure everything was in place for the evening.

    The Gala Dinner marked one of several events that WL has recently worked on at the Historic Royal Palaces, with others including a House of Frasier event at the Tower of London, a council dinner at Hampton Court Palace and The DailyDOOH Gala Awards at Banqueting House.

    Marcus adds: “As a company, we are fortunate enough to work on a range of high-profile, big-scale projects. That said, we also work on countless intimate events, on which we apply the same rigour and professionalism which has allowed us to be approved supplier to organisations such as HRP. The Fusilier Gala Dinner is a prime example of this and we were delighted to be involved”.

    The CSJ Awards celebrate and reward the work of voluntary organisations who are not only helping people to turn their lives around but who are also implementing innovative ways to address and prevent the root causes of poverty. This year they were held at Central Hall Westminster. As the venue’s Production Service Partner, White Light provided the complete technical solutions.

    The CSJ Awards took place on Tuesday 21st March and were organised by the Centre of Social Justice. Jonjo Glynn, WL’s Venues Director, comments: “The CSJ Awards is a fantastic event and we really wanted to make use of the brilliant spaces at Central Hall to create an unforgettable evening”.

    When guests arrived, they entered the foyer area where they were greeted by digital signage featuring a custom awards animation. They were then lead into the Library for a drinks reception before the main event which took place in the Lecture Hall.

    Jonjo states: “We essentially had creative freedom with this project so offered full themed lighting throughout. Whether it was the drinks reception, the awards presentation or even the performance from Ruth Brown from The Voice UK, each section of the evening had a dedicated look”.

    As part of the technical support, WL utilised Martin Aura XB LEDs, CORE Lighting ColourPoints, ETC Source Fours and Showline SL Strips. The company also provided full audio support for the various presentations and speeches. This included EM Acoustic HALO C Loudspeakers, Shure microphones and a Yamaha QL1 Mixer.

    In the Lecture Hall, WL supplied a Christie Projector for the various video presentations which took place throughout the evening. The company also built a custom-made set.

    Jonjo adds: “Due to the popularity of Central Hall, we had literally one hour to set up in the Library space. Therefore we had to ensure that everything was fully prepared and ready for installation to maximise on the limited amount of time we had”.

    Winners on the evening included Auditory Verbal UK, who took the CSJ Model of Excellence Award, The Clink, who won the CSJ Social Enterprise Award whereas charities Steps2Recovery, Red Balloon and Invisible Walls Wales also received accolades. Presenters on the night included Jeremy Paxman, Andy McNab, Martin Lewis and Iain Duncan Smith.

    Jonjo adds: “What was great about this event was that it showcased how all of the spaces within Central Hall can be utilised to host any type of event. The combination of magnificent architecture and state-of-the-art technology  means we are able to offer a unique location for any occasion held within Central London”.
