Comtec Would like to give a big welcome to two new members of staff, Keillie and Michelle!

Both Keillie and Michelle come with great skills and experience and have joined the organisation as marketeers in the sales department. They will both give a boost to the current team and provide some fresh ideas on how we can improve our client experience even further!

We recently ran the Royal Liver AGM at St George's Hall in Liverpool! It was a week long event including rigging and looked amazing inside the Hall. As you can see from the pictures, it has some great statues and intricate architecture.

We have managed to secure a new building to run Comtec from. This building is bigger, better and newer than our current building and much more geared up for our type of work.

We are all really excited here about the move which will be commencing later this year and with an 'open plan' layout it will allow even closer interaction between departments.

Hopefully we can get some pictures of our new home on here soon!

Comtec, Manchester Phoenix and Manchester Metropoliton University have joined forces to create Phoenix TV. Currently still in development stages a few episodes have been made and hopefully it can become a regular quality feature for all Manchester Phoenix Ice Hockey fans!

With the help of Comtec, Manchester Metropoliton University (MMU) students are able to get involved and learn through this exciting new project. MMU have a fantastic studio with some great kit to use and it provides an ideal local platform in which to shoot Phoenix TV. The programme is created entirley by volunteers some of which includes some familiar faces at Manchester Phoenix Match nights and the improvements made since week 1 (4 weeks ago) has been major with some really positive feedback from supporters.

The show looks set to go from strength to strength as the weeks go on and is a good advert as we show that we are not scared to try new things or let others get involved and get creative with us.

Keep an eye out for more from Phoenix TV in the future!!!

As a new member of the team it is great to be able to get really involved in live events right from the start! My second week in fact started with the launch of a multi-million pound Nuclear Submarine, so straight in at the deep end I'd say!

Over the last few months I have met a host of new challenges to get stuck into including; rigging big empty rooms to full blown sets with media coverage, producing TV material and most recently, live editing during a ceremony which felt like a stage performance in itself!

Working into the role as Media Producer so far has been enjoyable and rich in opportunities, an aspect which isn't usually so prevalent in other companies. I look forward to achieveing much more in the future and working with some more diverse and interesting clients!

Trades Union Congress (TUC) - September 2010

Comtec Presentations were once again awarded the opportunity of producing the annual Trades Union Congress. For 12 years in succession, Comtec have delivered the conference with continued commitment to both maintaining excellence and developing improvement.

The key to this successful relationship is the knowledge and understanding that has been developed and built upon year on year. This is fully exploited to ensure that each year the event is improved from the physical look of the conference through to the technology used and the logistics employed to ensure a streamlined event from start to finish.

Working within many of the large venues throughout the UK the challenge is to guarantee that the look and feel of the conference is in keeping with the TUC brand as well as ensuring that all media coverage is catered for. From the press through to TV and radio, the Comtec team have to make certain that everyone is happy as well as the client.

Security is another area of understanding - from dealing with demonstrations within the audience to working alongside special branch for the attendance of the Prime Minister. We were also responsible for the management of the early closure of the conference that occurred during the event in September 2001.

In addition to the above, Comtec also provide all of the usual everyday requirements for a conference of this size and calibre - from media presentations to sound, lights, projection and camera crews.

"Year on year Comtec manage to surpass themselves by combining innovative technologies with functional set design to enable us to progress with our Congress. With our annual Congress being a high profile event it is of great importance that we work with a company that can deliver in high-pressure situations. After working with Comtec for over ten years they have proven themselves, time and time again to be capable of providing a package that is ideal."
TUC Senior Events Officer
