It's that usual question
So what do you do for a living? A doctor, a train driver......
no, I am a rigger. Most of you have already thought ...... a what?
I run Nippy Industries Ltd, a rigging company. We provide "Production Rigging Services to the Conference, Film, Theatre and Entertainment industries".
Most events and shows need to have equipment at height, from simple light and sound equipment to more complicated suspended moving structures (remember the pendulum in Gladiators?). So how do you get the equipment up
there, what do you attach it to and how do you make it safe?
Simple, you employ a rigging company. We excel in providing 'Lifting Gear' services and equipment with highly trained staff with engineering and structural experience. We
also deal with industrial rope access jobs, where access to high and awkward places can't be achieved using machinery; for example cleaning the outside of buildings or even maintaining the lights on top of Canary Wharf.
For most large entertainment events we form part of a team of companies covering lighting, sound, audio visual, staging, set
building, catering and transport. We build a framework at ground level and attach it to lifting points from structural beams. Once the
lighting and sound is attached, the whole structure is lifted into position.
Obviously, Health & Safety issues are paramount with strict adherence to approved codes of practice and a quality administrative system to support us; QMS helped us achieve ISO 9002 Certification in Sept 2000.
So, next time you ask that question and the reply is "I'm a rigger" you'll know your next question should be...... Have you ever toured with the Spice Girls?
