MTC, Ansty Park, Coventry, CV7 9JU
The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) was established in 2010 as an independent Research & Technology Organisation (RTO) with the objective of bridging the gap between academia and industry – often referred to as ‘the valley of death’.
The MTC is part of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult (HVMC), which is supported by Innovate UK representing one of the largest public sector investments in UK manufacturing.
Since opening in 2011 the MTC’s rapid growth has seen the expansion of their campus with the construction of three more facilities, including the opening of the Advanced Manufacturing Training Centre and the National Centre for Additive Manufacturing

Blackberry was contacted by the MTC marketing team to support with the delivery of ‘Working Together Transforming Construction’, an event created to showcase technologies and processes that can drastically reduce hazards, improve quality, boost productivity, reduce waste and increase accuracy for those operating in the construction and infrastructure sector.
Blackberry was asked to explore a solution that would enable the MTC to welcome groups of visitors to the ‘workshop’ facility, meet with MTC experts and experience the new technologies being developed and available to industry practitioners.
The successful project delivery relied on finding a solution that would allow multiple workshops and presentations to take place in a noisy working environment, ensuring presenters could be heard by the attendees but not by other presenters a few meters away.


At the initial meeting the team at Blackberry were very keen to understand not just the what and the how but also the why. It was important to them that they were clear on the objectives of the event and shared our desired outcomes for success.
Operationally the team were great to work with, through rehearsals and on-site briefings they instilled confidence that the delivery would be seamless.
