UK - Steljes Hire has supported ITV1's new prime time Saturday night dating show, Love on a Saturday Night, with the supply and management of the audio-visual products. The show, in which Davina McCall helping people find their perfect date switches between the studio set and outside broadcasts. To display the outside broadcast in the studio, the production company and set designers needed a large, clear display monitor integrated into the set behind Davina McCall, although the depth of the set was limited. Having worked successfully with AV hire company Steljes Hire before, James Zafar of Granada Media approached Steljes' operations manager Lloyd Hanlon for his audio-visual experience.

Zafar explains: "I was very aware that in today's competitive market I could get a plasma screen from anywhere at a very competitive price; however, it was the high level of technical expertise and quality of service that we demanded. I knew I could completely trust Steljes Hire to deliver."

Hanlon adds: "being a primetime television production Granada television wanted the best. We worked with the set designers to ensure that our AV installation met the film crew's requirements, and was sure to offer no technical hitches on the night.
