Success Abroad for CCT

CCT Theatre Lighting have announced that well over half their production is now going overseas, with ever increasing shipments to North America. Computer controlled colour change systems have

been installed in the newly-opened Calgary Arts Centre which is featured in detail in this issue of L+SI.

Similarly, much of CCT's product has gone to Australia in the last year, where a joint venture company, Jands CCT, has already completed many installation projects. In Hong Kong the UK

company recently shipped out a mixture of over 700 spotlights, mostly Silhousettes and Starlettes together with auto colour change systems and an extensive range of accessories for the several

theatres and performing spaces in the new Academy for Performing Arts.

A major job in progress is for Jupiters Casino on the Gold Coast which promises to rival the finest Las Vegas can offer. Again, several hundred lanterns are being installed along with a 256 channel memory lighting control and dimming system.

And on the Home Front...

During the last year CCT's factory in Mitcham has been considerably reorganised along with several improvements including a completely new paint system. This has twin conveyor line, electrostatic spray booths and radiant oven. This streamlining of the system has enabled CCT to hold their prices and also to have products available to suit the most demanding of circumstances. The company's Bristol operations were recently re-located in new premises in the St. Phillips area on a brand new industrial estate with good access and parking. A fult range of equipment and accessories is for sale and hire at Unit 9, Ferry Steps Industrial Estate, St. Phillips, Bristol telephone (0272) 774074.

From October AJS was appointed exclusive stockists for CCT products in Kent, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Dorset and the Isle of Wight.

They will only be stocking CCT luminaires and accessories. AJS are based in Bournemouth and East London.
