DJW projects win at M&H Awards

DJW would like to congratulate Titanic Belfast for being Highly Commended in the Permanent Exhibition category of the Museums & Heritage Awards. Titanic Belfast also won the Trading and Enterprise Award for their shop.

The Awards were given at a gala dinner compered by Sue Perkins as part of the Museums & Heritage Show, on 15 May.

Titanic Belfast uses AV integrated by DJW to tell the story of the design and building of Titanic, right on the site of the dock yards where it happened. Projections, screens, audio and a dark ride bring the history to life, while a multi-screen theatre, with a video link to research vessels, draws visitors into the immediacy of current oceanic research.

The BP Showcase Pavilion was also shortlisted for the Sustainability Award. DJW integrated the spinning 360 degree theatre with show lighting and special effects for BP’s Pavilion at the Olympic and Paralympic Games. DJW created a system that minimised energy usage, while being simple for the client team to operate, greatly contributing to the sustainability of the Showcase Pavilion.

DJW projects on shortlist for M&H Awards

DJW is very proud to have Titanic Belfast shortlisted in the Permanent Exhibition category of the Museums & Heritage Awards.

The spinning 360 degree theatre with show lighting and special effects that was integrated by DJW for BP’s Pavilion at the Olympic and Paralympic Games makes the shortlist for the Sustainability Award. DJW created a system that minimised energy usage, while being simple for the client team to operate, greatly contributing to the sustainability of the Showcase Pavilion.

The National Football Museum is on the Marketing Campaign Award shortlist for its opening campaign. DJW helped make the campaign that bit easier with stunning AV displays and interactives in beautifully lit galleries.

DJW projects have had great success at previous M&H Awards and Titanic Belfast has already won a prize at the InAVation Awards. We wish all three clients well for the Ceremony and hope to celebrate with them at the DJW-sponsored After Awards Party! The ceremony will be on 15 May, as part of the Museums & Heritage Show.

DJW receives ISO 14001:2004 accreditation

Our commitment to continually minimising our environmental effects has been recognised in DJW being accredited with this international standard for environmental management systems. Director Lynn Willrich has formalised and enhanced our previous processes, documenting everything we do and working with the whole team to ensure that our environmental impact is considered in everything that we do.

DJW has now been ISO 9001:2008 accredited for many years, and following the latest 5-yearly major inspection, has been re-accredited. This ensures that all our quality management systems are kept at this internationally recognised high standard – essential for the international nature of our work.

Titanic Belfast wins most InAVative prize!

DJW wins the prize for the Most InAVative Vistor Attraction of 2013.

Josh Miller, one of DJW’s Directors was there to collect the award and said:

“This project used so many aspects of AV in so many different ways, and is already attracting many more visitors than predicted.”

Titanic Belfast is home to some of the most stunning immersive experiences DJW has created. The AV-led Experience runs through 9 themed galleries, drawing together special effects, a dark ride, full-scale reconstructions and innovative interactive features to explore the Titanic story in a fresh and insightful way; from her conception in Belfast in the early 1900s, through her construction and launch, to her infamous maiden voyage and catastrophic demise. The journey goes beyond the aftermath of the sinking, to the discovery of the wreck and continues into the present day with a live undersea exploration centre.

The awards were presented at a gala dinner at the Integrated Systems Europe trade show where some of the DJW team were meeting with suppliers and checking out the latest technologies.

DJW was also a finalist in the Most InAVative Leisure and Entertainment Facility Award with the AV integration at the BP Showcase for the Olympic and Paralympic games.
