Scene Change on BRW Fastest Growing Startups List
06-Jul-2011 | Scene Change has continued its run of success since its first office was founded in Hobart in 2006. The company, which now also has offices in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, sits at #48 on BRW Magazine’s Fast Starters List, which analyses the fastest growing startup businesses in Australia.
Scene Change’s service has also been recognised by winning the MEA Tasmania Best Technical or Creative Production Service award for the last three years. Scene Change’s Hobart Director Rod Street believes this is a product of the company’s uncompromising approach to technology.“We spend a lot of money to buy the best technology available, brands like Meyer speakers, Stumpfl screens, Shure radio mics because when you have the best techs working for you, they’re motivated by working with gear they know delivers bulletproof reliability. When interstate clients come to Tasmania, they’re generally expecting an AV service a few steps below what they get in Sydney or Melbourne. Many of them write us letters afterwards saying that it was better than anything they’ve experience before,” Mr Street said.
Starting the company from scratch in 2006 allowed Scene Change to create a totally fresh technical inventory without needing to fit in with old legacy systems. Conferences increasingly rely on digital systems and web media and Scene Change’s operation at the Hotel Grand Chancellor Hobart is a technological showpiece - it has installed the most advanced meeting venue wireless systems in the country. The system, which is powered by an ADSL 2 service, provides the best possible connectivity to the internet via a venue service. The National Broadband Network is already under way in Tasmania and its installation in Hobart will allow the system to provide one of the fastest venue WiFi systems in the country.
Another innovation is an in-house room monitoring system for conference managers. Permanent video cameras are installed in every meeting room and the conference manager can log in and view each room to see if rooms are still in session, ready for meal breaks or other logistical needs.
Scene Change Hobart has seen major growth in the last year after opening of a major exhibition rental division based at the Hotel Grand Chancellor. A large stock of gleaming new exhibition booths and furniture has brought a new level of trade show customer satisfaction to Tasmania.
Exhibition Services Manager, Kevin Nicol, has a long track record of designing and constructing exhibition stands across Australia and many clients are now choosing to build custom stands in Hobart rather than freighting them in.
