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."

The Manchester Phoenix is back!
Comtec Presentations are once again proud to support the Manchester Phoenix ice hockey club for yet another year. Comtec has always believed that the Manchester Phoenix is one of the North West’s best-kept secrets and a fantastic night out that all the family can enjoy. From the sport itself (surely the most exciting around) to the incredible atmosphere inside the Altrincham Ice Dome, the whole match night experience is second to none!
Associating ourselves with the Phoenix was an easy choice for a variety of reasons. Their junior system encompasses all ages and has rapidly become one of the best in the country. Providing a means for local children to learn and play the sport in an organised and competitive environment. The progression is direct, all the way from the youngest at U10s level to the adult Trafford Metros in the English National League, acting as feeder team to the Phoenix. One day these kids could progress to the senior side as a full-time Phoenix player - following in the footsteps of their heroes or maybe even playing alongside them! Getting kids into sport is a great thing, and something Comtec have always been fully sportive of.
There is also the Manchester Phoenix Community Sports Foundation, where members of the team and backroom staff take the sport out to various communities in Manchester and allow them to experience it first-hand when they may not have had the chance previously. Using an inflatable rink and street hockey gear, they put on hockey exhibitions that the children are able to take part in. The best of these children are encouraged to join a local roller hockey team along with learning the basics of ice hockey with the Phoenix junior teams - with the aim that they can be integrated into the regular junior teams and progress through the academy system. The Foundation also has a Road Show that visits schools to teach the pupils about drugs, healthy eating and an active lifestyle whilst introducing them to the Phoenix experience. It’s a fantastic scheme that will have huge benefits for the local community.
Everyone at Comtec wishes the Manchester Phoenix their continued support and the best of luck for the new season! Go Phoenix!
