We have recently signed a six-figure deal with Panasonic which enables us to offer our clients the latest projector technology.

We are one of the first companies in the country to commit to Panasonic’s PT-RZ21K model, which will become the business’ flagship projector replacing older and lamp based products.

Richard Bowden, Founder and MD, said: “We are very passionate about making sure our clients receive the most up-to-date equipment to ensure their events are a real success. We will be one of the first in the North West to offer the RZ21K laser-based projector for hire, something I’m really proud of.”

“I am delighted to be extending our working-relationship with Panasonic. Their products have always been extremely reliable and given us and our clients, the results we strive for. This investment is a sizeable one for us, but will enable Sterling to open the door to projects where bigger, brighter projection is required. It will also make sure as a company we remain as environmentally friendly as we possibly can, with us moving from lamp based projectors to laser.”

Tony Molloy, project sales manager at Panasonic said: “We are delighted that Sterling has recognised the benefit that Panasonic’s laser projectors can bring to its customer base, giving them more freedom to concentrate on creating great events and less time worrying about the technology that is unpinning them”

Sterling Event Group Partner with Manchester Cathedral

Sterling Event Group are proud to announce that we are now a trusted supplier of Manchester Cathedral for all creative AV and technical production requirements. We join an impressive list of catering and accommodation suppliers in the city, working together to create the best solution for your event.

Manchester Cathedral has been centre stage in its city’s history for nearly 600 years. In 1421 Henry V signed a royal charter granting permission for a collegiate church to be built. In 1847 a new Manchester diocese was created and this historic church became a Cathedral.

The public realm, together with the interior setting of the cathedral, offer an ideal place to host an array of multi-faceted events including; fashion shows, brand launches, intimate fine-dining spot, grand gala dinners and award ceremonies.

Sterling’s MD Richard Bowden comments; “It’s great to be a recommended supplier of another one of our city’s landmark venues, a venue that we believe is a hidden gem. In particular, the breath-taking architecture of the cathedral presents limitless opportunities for our lighting designers to enhance and create spectacular shows”

We already have a number of exciting productions at the venue in the coming months, including a post-conference gala dinner with live band, stage set, high quality PA system and a celebration dinner early in the summer with a range of indoor and outdoor lighting to pick out the exquisite venue features and focus attention on one of the stained-glass windows which depicts a message that resonates with the client.

Why not check back in to the Case Studies section of our website later in the summer to hear more about the full solution provided for these alongside some exciting imagery.
