Supporting Saints with AV mounting solutions
“Rugby is a sport that promotes respect, professionalism, teamwork and dedication – values that we hold in high regard throughout our business.” Matthew Bennett - Managing Director, B-Tech AV Mounts Leading AV mounts manufacturer B-Tech have provided Aviva Premiership giants Northampton Saints with display mounting solutions for their impressive new Barwell Stand. The £6million investment at their Franklin’s Gardens ground features the very latest in sport stadia design and B-Tech have, quite literally, shown their support by providing safe and secure mounting of numerous digital displays throughout the building. Franklin’s Gardens is the latest in a long list of sporting venues to utilise B-Tech solutions for mounting their AV equipment, including Wembley Stadium, Silverstone, Wimbledon and the Emirates Stadium. Utilising BT8431 mounts, the club’s new 600-capacity hospitality suite is fitted with seven 55-inch Full HD displays, plus NEC projectors mounted on BT899 projector mounts, ensuring that fans don’t miss any of the action when away from the pitch. With its AV capability, contemporary design, and full bar facilities, the suite is also proving popular for business gatherings, conferences, and even the occasional wedding! B-Tech have also provided BT8431 mounting solutions for the stands’ 12 executive boxes, each fitted with 42-inch Sony full HD displays. These rooms are also used as ‘breakout’ areas during busy business conferences - bringing a welcome revenue stream to the club. The Saints began a huge improvement programme to their Franklin’s Gardens ground in 2001. The new Barwell Stand is the club’s latest, and largest, investment to date and includes an LED menu board running along the full length of the stand, where B-Tech have their messages regularly displayed to Saints’ 15,000+ crowds. Nick Spencer, marketing manager for B-Tech, said: “We are immensely proud of our association with Northampton Saints - they are a superbly run club, who are forever moving forwards. We are delighted to supply all supporting mounts for their stunning new Barwell Stand, and look forward to working together on any future AV projects.” Allan Robson, chief executive at Northampton Saints, agrees with Nick on the benefits of the association. He added: “Saints is a club with 100 years of heritage and a massive part of our success is the relationships that we have established with local businesses. “B-Tech continue this tradition by providing quality, valuable resources that helps us to maintain the investment we need to keep the Saints at the top of English club rugby, both on and off the field. Having professional AV and fitting is an essential requirement in modern sporting venues and, with our new Barwell Stand, we believe we are setting a new standard in quality, facilities and design, and we send a big thanks to B-Tech for their input and professionalism.” |
