At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ellievision AV were proud to assist. Over the past few weeks the UK has seen an unprecedented amount of support for the NHS and front line workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The clap for our carers on a Thursday evening showed a real sense of community and solidarity with those on the front line, the NHS workers, social care workers, delivery drivers, postal workers, teachers, shop workers, all hero’s in the nation’s eyes. Something so simple had such a big impact.
As an industry, the events sector has been rocked by COVID-19, but that hasn’t stopped the spirit of those in the industry. Many audio visual businesses, unable to work, were more than happy to join the nation on Thursday evening, lighting up a wide range of buildings. It was heart-warming to see such a visually impactful shows of support with the lighting of iconic buildings and monuments in blue.
