Unusual exhibits at JTSE, Paris

4th December 2024

Unusual Rigging was pleased to exhibit at this year’s JTSE show in Paris, which took place on 27 and 28 November. Visitors to Stand 092 119 in Dock Pullman, had the opportunity to meet with the team and explore how Unusual can devise creative solutions for their rigging challenges on upcoming projects.
 
Unusual’s presence at the show comes as the company continues to thrive, marked by its recent 40thanniversary celebrations and the successful opening of its new branch in Paris earlier this year. The expansion, initially as a means of preparing for the PARIS 2024 Games, is also a strategic move to address the increasing challenges of working in the region post-Brexit
 
Mark Priestley, Project Manager at Unusual Rigging, commented: “The Paris branch was opened to overcome the operational obstacles of working in Europe, particularly in light of Brexit. Having a base here allows us to respond more efficiently to projects across the continent, with access to local suppliers and skilled riggers. We can spring into action immediately, delivering the same high standards that our clients have come to expect.”
 
Unusual Rigging was proud to share the stand at JTSE with Blackout SARL, whose support has been instrumental in establishing Unusual’s presence across the Channel.
 
Tom Harper, Managing Director at Unusual Rigging, added: “We are looking forward to exploring further market opportunities in France, post the Olympics, leading on, we trust, to a lasting presence in Europe. This opportunity marks a developmental step in our trajectory as a business, highlighting our aspiration to continue our founder, Alan Jacobi’s ethos, for whom innovation, excellence and customer service were the pillars on which the company was built."

Mark Priestley concluded: “We had a great JTSE Show and are starting to feel noticed and accepted in France. We made some positive contacts which we’re already following up. This is a good prelude to what looks like being a busy 2025 for Unusual in France.”
