What people hear, see and feel will be critical to the Games’ success.

“We’re confident that with Norwest’s experience, team, equipment and processes, we will have a world-class experience for athletes, officials, spectators and viewers,” said Mr Murray.

It’s great to be working in Australia again on these major events, the last time being Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games. Our team, headed up by Andy Marsh, includes highly skilled and experienced technical directors who know and understand the pressures of designing and delivering audio for large scale events. We are thrilled and humbled to be working on the largest event ever held in Queensland.”
