Fuzzwire aiming to lead the way in 3D design
Posted by
In a key development for the UK’s 3D design industry, a new company called Fuzzwire has been created through the merger of two existing businesses, LDJ Design & Display and Centre Design, Fuzzwire aims to be the UK’s lead innovator in 3D design.
Ian Stead has been appointed chief executive. A charismatic business leader with extensive experience of working with major brands, he is excited about the new venture, saying, “With Fuzzwire we’ve created a vehicle capable of bringing new levels of innovation and quality into our industry. We have unrivalled experience and a highly motivated team that’s passionate about delivering creativity to delight both our clients and their customers.”
Fuzzwire will build upon the strengths of its two former players to produce exciting, large scale display schemes incorporating techniques such as 3D theatre, animatronics and lighting. Typically these are commissioned by major shopping centre owners across Europe for the Christmas season but Fuzzwire’s core skills are also ideal for wider applications such as the events and entertainment industries.
The company will operate from two design and production sites, in Keighley, West Yorkshire and at Prudhoe, Northumberland. It will employ around 130 people, making Fuzzwire the largest business of its type in the UK. Ian Stead says, “Fuzzwire will have greater scale and resources than any other business of its type in Europe. We firmly intend it will quickly become recognised as the clear market leader in 3D design – not just in the UK but internationally.”
