South West events company lights up the Olympics

Bristol-based SLX has been named the official supporter of broadcast lighting and rigging for the Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympics.

The  B Corp company, which also helped to deliver the Tech South West Awards 2022, will provide its lighting and rigging services to 29 outer Paris venues throughout the duration of the games. SLX has also been reselected for cricket competition The Hundred, which got underway this week.

SLX CEO Alastair Currie said: “2024 is proving to be a big year for us, not only are we showcasing our ability to handle large-scale events as an official supporter at the Paris Olympics. We have also been working hard to expand our offer to many different and diverse cultural, arts, heritage and sporting events and venues – both large scale and smaller.

“This has only been possible with the hard work and commitment to excellence of the team. This year’s growth demonstrates our desire to lead the industry, not just with technical expertise and innovation, but also in doing business responsibly and ensuring a focus on sustainable practices.”
