We have been working in the theming industry since 1990, and have been involved in the development and completion of many high profile projects, for some notable clients.
Although every work opportunity is important to us, presented here are a small selection of themed projects of which we are particularly proud.
From concept to construction, we are BEST.
BEST Constructors Ltd. are one of Europe’s leading scenic companies. We specialise in creating amazing themed environments that can convincingly transport and captivate the viewer. Prior to forming our company in 1999, our senior staff had worked on numerous themed construction projects across the world. We have greatly benefited from these previous years of experience, as our company can offer better insight and understanding of future projects. By combining our managerial experience with a highly skilled work force and utilising their combined knowledge of materials and techniques, we have the ability to deliver any project, regardless of scale, on time and within budget.
BEST’s managing director, Grenville Redmond, has worked internationally in Europe, Asia, South Africa and South America on many large scale themed developments since 1987. Listed below are some of these projects completed prior to the formation of BEST in 1999.
