Event Management Company Streamline Communication For The MOBO Awards
Streamlining Two-Way Communication For The Client Grace and Tailor
An event management company, specialise in organising high-profile events across various locations. They consistently seek reliable communication solutions to ensure seamless coordination during events.
Our Client’s Communication Needs
For the MOBO Awards held at Sheffield’s Utilita Arena, Grace and Tailor required efficient communication between departments and with the TV broadcast team. With a large venue and additional infrastructure around the arena, they needed a reliable radio communication system to cover the entire site.
Two-Way Radio Solutions Provided by DCRS
At DCRS we have worked with Grace and Tailor for many years now on multiple events. For the MOBO Awards, we supplied 140 two-way radios along with essential accessories:
- 70 Spare Batteries
- 110 D Ring Earpieces
- 20 Covert Earpieces
- 30 Heavy Duty Headsets
- 9 Charging Docks
- 1 Repeater Unit
For this event, we worked closely with Grace and Tailor to understand their needs and came up with a tailored plan. We pre-allocated the radios into five distinct groups based on site requirements. Each radio was marked and labelled with a channel list sticker, customised to Grace and Tailor specifications. This preparation reduced the setup time on-site, allowing. the team to focus on other crucial aspects of event preparation.
The Implementation And Outcome
The MOBO Awards ran seamlessly, departments such as talent and artist liaison, production, and the MOBO team could communicate effortlessly, ensuring smooth operations during both the setup and live phases of the event.
“We’ve used DCRS as our radio supplier for numerous events over the years, with varying degrees of complexity based on each event’s needs. They’ve been great at adjusting our quotes when we come back with changes to our kit, as well as helping provide some super useful extra services which take up time for us before or during an event of labelling and adding channel lists to radios. Being able to have everything pre-allocated and marked up helps us track radios onsite easily and makes it easy to determine where issues are during or after the event. Ray and Beverley are always super helpful in the office and can help give us the information we need for each event, whether it’s in a field in Leeds or Wembley Arena! We’re looking forward to working with DCRS further this year and beyond.”
