A huge amount of forethough is required to ensure that sightlines are good, bottlenecks don’t occur, queues are orderly, vehicle access is possible where required, ‘dead areas’ don’t develop, over-crowding is avoided, evacuation can be quick and orderly, unnecessary infrastructure is avoided, traffic doesn’t impact on the local community.

Meeting all these requirements can be difficult. But we firmly believe that it can be done, and there needn’t be any surprises on site. Using CAD software, large format printers, aerial photography, ordnance survey data, we can model the site in as much detail as is required.

Events, like all projects, involve temporarily bringing together a team of experts and skilled contractors to deliver a one off product within a specific time-frame.

Managing and coordinating the team is crucial, which is why we borrow heavily from best practice project management in other fields.

We are a highly experienced production company, dedicated to professional delivery and the provision of unparalleled event support, upon which our clients can completely rely.

We plan, co-ordinate and produce events of any size or type, meeting clients' individual requirements and ensuring their events happen safely and securely. When it comes to the smooth running of any event, preparation is paramount.

Based on creative production solutions and meticulous attention to detail, we work closely with our clients to achieve all their objectives and look to constantly exceed expectations.

We can even extend our project management arm to oversee contractors and freelancers that provide marketing and artist booking services.

For any event, however large or small, Vista has the expertise and experience to produce and manage budgets.

Through many years in the industry, we have discovered the optimal budgeting approach: we like to keep things simple. At Vista we ensure that vital facts are delivered to our clients in a convenient way, so they can access the financial information they need, whenever they need it.

Once appointed, we will prepare a budget, for each area we are responsible for, and agree it with you. Crucially, we will ensure the accurate handling of VAT, PRS and other taxes. By advising our clients on financial issues, we ensure complete peace of mind and the assurance that any tax-related mishaps will be avoided.

At Vista we like to maintain monitoring of progress in line with the initial budgeting plans, notifying our clients immediately if plans run outside scope or off budget.
