Most interesting job

[copperknackers]

Alright lads, we've just finished a job for an upcoming ITV Program, Ninja Warrior. We built the Final Stage, Mount Midoriyama, and to be quiet honest, i'm proud as punch that a little firm like ours was given the chance and pulled off the job. Not a massive job, but big enough none the less, it had to be up on by a certain time for filming and down and cleared over a day and half over the Easter weekend, it also needed a massive amount of organising, which i told the client would take up to 3 week with the design, sourcing the kit and everything else, but we pulled it round in 5 days because it was last minute when we got the go ahead. It got me thinking, how many of you are proud of the work that you do, or do you just turn up, take the money and don't give a fCk. If your proud of the work that you do, lets have a look at something other than people taking the ****, job adverts or sh1t jobs that 'someone' else has done.

Nice work gingerballs. Always good to do something outside the box when you consider 98% of our profession only experience house bashing or industrial work.
I have been proud to have been involved in some interesting event works and wish I had taken photos.

We only put the tower at the end up, the lads from the 3 different rigging companies built the rest of the sets and lighting rigs. but to be honest, after chaining the kit up 23m, i'd have happily settled for playing about with the Ally trusses at ground level!!!!! :nuts:

Hopefully, everyone watches it on the gogglebox on Saturday and smash the ratings. It all depends on them, if it's popular they'll be back next year, they've already said they just want to deal with the people they've already dealt with while in good old blighty. They were going to Denmark next, already been to Sweden and Turkey.

Well done copper's.......cracking job fella.
I've done some major jobs in the past but nothing that can hold a torch to tv work. Its the only bow missing to my string. Again well done.
