Our team is amazed that summer has already come to an end but we are all agreed that we had a brilliant summer season, so thank you to all our freelance technicians that support across in delivering our events and projects. We simply couldnt the provide the level of service without them.

As the summer wrapped up, we were thrilled once again to be part of CarFest at Laverstoke Park Farm, providing a range of services including Full Track Commentary, Paddock Announcement PA, Site Wide Fibre Optic Infrastructure, and Video Distribution Network.

At CarFest, our team strategically set up over 200 PA speakers for the track commentary system to ensure clear audio was delivered round the full perimiter of the track, this included use of custom mounting frames fabricated in-house at KJE HQ.

Moreover, our event experience in deploying fibre infrastructure and video distribution systems using our range of Blackmagic Design nodes and fibre patch panels allowed us to provide Voice of God emergency announcement capability and video footage to all screens across the event site.

Collaborating with our friends at Firestorm Pyro FX, we also delivered a breathtaking pyro finale for the main stage. CarFest holds a special place in our hearts, being an event we have been a part of since its inception in 2012, supporting impactful causes for children.

As we wrap up the summer, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our clients for choosing KJE as a delivery partner. Looking ahead, we are now gearing up for upcoming meetings about Christmas events.

At KJE, we take pride in delivering creative event solutions across the UK and Europe.

Recently, Director Kevin England led some events closer to home, showcasing our dedication to our local community.

We supplied a comprehensive power generation and distribution package (with thanks to our good friends at Project Power) alongside one of our 100v PA system for the Berkeley Show, ensuring crystal clear event commentary for all the crowds.

In Thornbury, we supported the local Carnival with a complete technical package for the main stage, featuring our line array loudspeaker system, digital mixing consoles, stage snakes, and a full band microphone package including our latest arrivals from Sennheiser

We hope that everyone attending the events had a great time.

What a weekend it has been! We were thrilled to support our friends at SWG Events with a 100v PA package for the polo event at Guards Polo Club Following that, we packed up the van and traveled to Morecambe for the Armed Forces Day.

Teaming up with the local radio station Beyond Radio (Lancaster & Morecambe) we deployed multiple sets of our custom duo and quad 100v speaker setups across two locations. Our specification was to provide show commentary and reinforcement for the poignant drumhead ceremony, ensuring a seamless and impactful experience for all attendees.

It's always an honor to stand in solidarity and show support to our Royal Marines and all of HM Armed Forces.

Proud of our technicians for coming together to make these events a success! ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

Well, the summer events season is in full swing, as we near the end of June, the sun has finally made its much-awaited appearance.

Over the opening weekend, we were kept on our toes with a special effects package at In It Together Festival, a technical setup for a WCA sanctioned fight night with Pro K, and an audio-visual package for the Graduation Ceremony at Brymoor School. It was indeed a busy but exhilarating period.

Collaborating with Firestorm Pyro FX our joint efforts totally hit the mark, leaving our client delighted. Using Galaxis G Flames and MAGIC FX C02 Jets across multiple stages and our bespoke smoke machines from added a spectacular touch, creating an unforgettable visual experience with plumes of smoke and fire emanating from the Steel Works Stage.

To cap off a brilliant weekend, we delivered stunning show closing Pyro Show behind the Parc Stage featuring Dizzee Rascal to light up Sunday night, wrapping up an eventful few days.

Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!

Itโ€™s the fourth installment in our series and today itโ€™s the engraving machine.

Our CNC Rotary Engraver and Router has been a game-changer since we first purchased it. While the laser engraver has taken over some day-to-day tasks, our Vision 16/24 remains a vital component of our engineering arsenal. Its ability to mechanically engrave onto various substrates is unparalleled, making it particularly useful for drilling holes in PCBs with reliable accuracy.

Check out some of the amazing panel work we've undertaken with this machine.

In the third installment of our series we are going to introduce a recent addition to the sheet metal fabrication process - the Guilfell 1220 Autobend.

With the ability to bend material up to 1200mm wide and 10mm thick, we can now create any shape required by the project. Our usual setup involves bending 1.5mm sheet, which, when combined with our plasma cutter, allows us to craft panels and enclosures from scratch. We're excited to offer this new capability to our clients.

Here are some projects that have been completed entirely in-house, but we donโ€™t just make panels and enclosures. Our own Snow Storm X1 has been entirely designed and fabricated by us.

Early morning start for us today! We were up bright and early to lend a helping hand to the organizers of the Berkeley Show

Our team created custom banners to promote the event which is on Sunday 30th June.

Thanks to our friends at Metamark for the quick delivery of the materials. We are now looking forward to seeing these banners displayed!

Look out for when we focus our series on our Roland printer.

In the second post of our series, we're excited to introduce you to our plasma cutter! Once a design is approved by the client, our Pro CNC Plasma Cutter takes over, cutting out letters, numbers, stencils, holes, and even logos from sheets of steel or aluminium.

The machine operates using accelerated jets of plasma that makes quick work of the material, bringing creative designs to life.

Behind the scenes, providing the necessary air for the plasma to function is our Kaeser Compresores air tank installation, recently serviced by the team at Compressor Systems who were fantastic.

New custom-made rack enclosures ready for those lovely people at Firestorm Pyro FX!

We used our state-of-the-art CNC plasma cutter to cut sheet steel, which was then formed into a box using the press break. After a trip to the powder coating room and a stint in the oven to cure, the enclosures were ready for the custom printing which included customer text, lines and logo. Finally, they were wired and finished to perfection.

Contact us to learn more about our custom fabrication capabilities.

Little throwback to CarFest South 2019 with Judge Jules

We are delighted to be making the annual pilgrimage to Laverstoke Park Farm for another CarFest.

It has been amazing to work on this show since CarFest One back in 2012 and seeing all the money raised to help children in need.

In June, we returned to Old Park Farm in Margam for another instalment of In It Together festival. This year the requirement was a little different as we were challenged with a creative brief to produce custom smoking chimneys with flame ball effects.

Kevin set about creating some designs and plans then trialing some ideas. The outcome was two custom designed smoke machines that were completely manufactured at our workshop calling on our arsenal of machinery to fabricate the enclosures, powder coat them and add custom printing to identify the connections. That was half the battle completed the next stage was to create two custom linking units to output the smoke to the chimney stacks. Then using our Galaxis Showtechnik G Flames we added wireless fire effects.

We were also asked to supply special effects packages for the stages that included Galaxis G Flames, KJE CO2 jets and MAGIC FX confetti blasters plus a closing night arena pyrotechnic display for the main stage.

We happen to think the outcome was pretty spectacular and we were back working with Escape Records last weekend for Colour Clash in Newport.
