Can you please pass on our gratitude to Geraldo and the guys that helped us at the Gherkin today. They were incredible and without their proactivity the job would have been a thousand times harder on an already difficult schedule. They went above and beyond and really appreciate the extra help they've shown us and our colleagues at the event. Craig Simmons @ Production Concepts Ltd

Why London Matters to Alpha Crew
London is the foundation of Alpha Crew’s growth and culture. Many of our senior crew members and office staff started out on London jobs. It was due to the success of our work here that led us to being able to expand across the country, followed by Europe and now internationally. The fast-paced, high-pressure nature of London events have also shaped our professionalism and standards, and set the pace for the rest of our crew across the globe.
