Illusion acquires Southern Van Lines Storage.
Scenery storage has always been part of our service offering but now we have more of it ... LOTS more!
More space allows us to better support larger, more complex builds – projects that evolve over longer timelines and demand greater coordination from concept through to delivery. It also means we can hold, maintain and redeploy scenic elements more effectively, reducing the need to start from scratch each time, and in turn reducing waste.
Combined with our workshop, it creates a more connected approach — where build, storage, and re-use work together as part of the same process.
Last week, we hosted our Scenic Production for Events course in partnership with @the.trainingdept
“At Illusion, investing in the next generation is core to what we do. We’re proud to help educate and shape the next generation.” Rory Evans, Managing Director.
From exploring the workshop, meeting the makers and working with materials, to best-practice communication and how ideas translate into build, budgets and briefs - the course offers a rare behind-the-scenes access to London’s largest scenery construction facility.
The day wrapped with a team challenge, putting everything into practice through a live scenic brief.
A great day of hands-on learning, insight and shared thinking.
Thanks to everyone who made it happen.
