UK School Games 2009

Description

The provision and installation of signage and events branding to The UK School Games a multi-sport event organised by the Youth Sport Trust for the UK’s elite young athletes of school age. The games proved a huge success, culminating in Fast Track being among the big winners of the 2009 SportBusiness Sports Event Management Awards winning gold in the Event Look category for this event.

Challenge

Planning and logistics were the key to deliver signage and branding to each of the ten sports venues which were spread across Newport, Swansea, and the host city Cardiff. Each sport required timed delivery slots ahead of four days of competition for over 1500 athletes.

Solution

Seven specialist installation teams combined to successfully install and breakdown in excess of 1000 signage items, sponsor advertising boards, and over 3.5 km of branded ‘scrim’, a kind of fabric banner, which helped to dress each venue. The project encompassed interior and exterior display graphics and signage, the majority of which has been recycled or stored for re-use in 2010.
