AC-ET race to Silverstone

We are proud patrons of the British Racing Drivers’ Club Young Driver Programmes and were thrilled to spend the weekend with some of our #ACETeam and loyal customers for the Formula 1 Aramco British Grand Prix 2023 this month.

Having been Patrons of the BRDC’s exclusive ‘Young Driver’ Programme for over a decade, AC-ET has supplied the lighting design for the event ever since. Staged within the grounds of the BRDC Farm as part of the British Grand Prix weekend, the legendary occasion attracts high-profile members and motorsport personalities.

Burnley Mechanics Theatre invest in Allen & Heath

Steve recently visited Burnley Mechanics Theatre in Lancashire to introduce Geoff and his colleagues to the ALLEN & HEATH SQ and Avantis digital consoles. After careful evaluation, they made the decision to incorporate the SQ-7 and SQ-5 mixers, along with the GX4816 stage box, into their equipment inventory.

Known for its exceptional performance spaces and top-notch technical facilities, Burnley Mechanics Theatre has been a venue for some of the most talented performers in the industry. Thanks to Geoff and his team!
