Visionary in technical design and production

We love details. We’re passionate when it comes to working out how things fit together, evolve and connect. We think in props, pulleys, people and perspective, coming together to produce a show stopping event. With the audience’s point of view taking centre stage, we lay the technical foundations to deliver timeless memories for attendees worldwide.

Groundplans, overlays, & technical documentation

We provide technical drawings to clearly present ground & site plans with the capability of showing technical overlays and infrastructure plans. We also generate 3D models which can then be used to produce photorealistic renders and physical 3D printed models. We can create bespoke drawing templates to suit the requirements and nuances of every project, whilst maintaining your brand identity.

We never say ‘impossible’

If there is anything that our wealth of experience has taught us above all, is that it pays to be open minded. The team at Venier recognise that projects of immense scale and ambition require a huge amount of flexibility and it takes a balance of both patience and passion to propel a project from memorable to unforgettable.

John, what a natural talent you are. You brought some significant skills to the table, and I think we used just about all of them on this job. I appreciated the way you tackled everything thrown at you with patience and well thought through processes to always find the best possible outcome in each and every instance. The late integration of the Spidercam in among everything else that was going on was a shining example of this. Well done and I hope we get to do it all again sometime soon.

Shannon Gobell, Technical Director – AFC Asian Cup Opening Ceremony

Thanks so much for agreeing to join the team once again and for taking on the challenge of the spike system with such enthusiasm and skill. It was great to work with you again and I very much hope we get to again soon!

Gary Beestone, Technical Director – Eurovision 2023

The task of learning to use and implement a brand new type of software to indicate the scene changes for all delegate performances was one which John undertook with all of his enthusiasm and dedication. The digital spike mark software was a beneficial part of the whole show and without Johns involvement was unlikely to be as successful as it was.

Tom White, CAD manager – Eurovision 2023

Thank you for joining this extraordinary team and helping us to deliver two Ceremonies that Birmingham and the UK can be proud of. The people that have created these shows are at the core of everything we have done and we are so thankful for your work, dedication, tenacity and kindness throughout.

Luke Mills, Deputy Technical Director – Birmingham Ceremonies

Your work in the CAD team was key to our success and I am incredibly grateful for your dedicated work and good humour throughout. Your skilled work and attention to detail were absolutely fantastic and it was a privilege to work with you.

Gary Beestone, Technical Director – Birmingham Ceremonies

John’s level of dedication in producing detailed technical drawings for both ceremonies was outstanding. This was never more evident in the detailed work he undertook in talking to all relevant departments to produce a technical storyboard of every step of the opening ceremony. This highly accurate and important document was used by all team members to plan their tasks during the two hour ceremony.

Tom White, CAD manager – Birmingham Ceremonies

Thanks for everything John, you’ve been an amazing part of the LFPS family and I’m sure you’ll be a great asset to the commonwealth games team.
