Badminton Scotland Technical Director - TOTAL BWF World Badminton Championships 2017
Sep. 2015 - Sep. 2017Following my involvement in the Scottish Badminton Grand Prix, I was approached by Badminton Scotland to consult on the Sports Presentation design for the TOTAL BWF World Badminton Championships 2017. My initial role was to design the Sports Presentation concepts in the arena, looking at how we would meet the contractual obligations of the tournament, with the facilities that are already existing in the Venue. Once my designs were signed off, I then led on the tender process to appoint the contractor to fulfil the equipment and labour elements to deliver the Sports Presentation Concept. As time moved toward event delivery, I was asked to expand my role to assist with the technical requirements that the Host Broadcaster and Rights Holding Broadcasters. This involved having to install a remote wireless link to a nearby Data Centre to improve the Internet capacity of the venue. This was due to confirmation of the requirements being to close to the event delivery for any underground works to be completed. During the event delivery operations, I was responsible for ensuring that the various infrastructure elements were installed, and then managed the production build of the sports presentation technology. On event, I was the point of contact for any technical problems, and the Sports Presentation delivery. Ensuring that all elements ran as planned, any problems were handled effectively and efficiently, and it all ran to the tight TV schedule..
