Philip Parsons 1945-2026

It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to our founder, Phil Parsons.

He cared about doing things properly and often went out of his way for clients. When a job hit trouble he was the calmest person in the room, solving problems with his hands as often as his head.

He never stopped inventing, and stayed hands-on to the end. He was a gentleman, good company, quick to laugh and slow to anger, with a love of adventure that never left him.

Thank you, Phil, for everything you built.

𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗱 talks through a recent job at 𝗦𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗲𝗿'𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘀 East Theatre 🎭

New auditorium stairs with handrails, and 24 decks spanning the gap to carry the theatre’s sprung dance floor.

In June, Roundhay Park hosted one of Leeds' biggest music events of the summer. 70,000 people, Lewis Capaldi headlining, and a brand activation stage that needed to sit perfectly flat on a hillside — led by THE·TEAM.

The Steeldeck configuration:

• Underground cables and pipes ruled out ground anchors entirely — and was ballasted instead
• 13 tonnes of weight beneath the deck to lock the structure in position
• Front edge standing 7ft tall at the bottom of the slope, completely level at the top
• Reinforced with scaffold underprops to carry pergolas, bars and a DJ booth

The engineering stayed completely out of sight. THE TEAM clad it out and delivered a seamless brand activation for Lidl.

Build and de-rig: twelve hours.

Wimbledon's long finished and the US Open starts Sunday. Our resident tennis fans loved helping build this court-themed table 🎾

Tables London came to us needing two dining tables, each about 9m × 4m, for a dinner in the courtyard at Rosewood London. Steeldeck platforms are built to carry heavy loads, so this was not a typical application of our decks. It was a real pleasure to work on with Tables London, who saw the design and finishing through!

The finished product always makes the job look easier than it was. There were a lot of variables: how far the skin should overhang the frame, how smooth the finish needed to be for people eating off it, and how to level the tables on uneven courtyard ground, which in the end took flanged legs and screw jacks.

Built in the morning, cleared after dinner, same day. If you've got an event in mind and need something modular and flexible, get in touch here or through our website.

Introducing Ben! 👋

Ben Stephen joined us this year as General Manager, bringing over 25 years in events with him — from large format outdoor events to the Edinburgh Fringe, a decade as Technical Director of the Albany, Head of Projects at Lamp & Pencil and many years ago a BDM at Stage Electrics.

Today, he leads our London operations, overseeing the warehouse, build crew, transport and logistics, alongside HR, training and health and safety across the site (imagine the statue of Atlas holding up the heavens)

One recent favourite Steeldeck moment was building bespoke outdoor dining tables for a tennis-themed lunch at the Rosewood Hotel: "Another novel use of our platforms and carpentry skills to create a truly memorable event with a fast, practical and reliable solution. The finished look was absolutely stunning."

Welcome aboard, Ben — we're very glad to have you!

290m² of level viewing platform. On a golf course. ⛳

We worked with Setsquare Creative on LIV Golf at JCB Golf and Country Club, building a series of raised platforms for spectators looking out over the green — including one sited in front of a mobile pub and one for a VIP area that took a roof structure.

- Three raised crowd platforms, plus a separate deck for the Long Putt competition
- Ground levels moved constantly, so bracing and ballast were engineer-assessed against slipping on the steeper slopes
- High expected capacity on some platforms drove both the deck layout and the guardrail design
- Battening fitted around the deck edge so the client could attach their branding

Staging for a live broadcast closing ceremony 🏆

We supplied the staging for the Commonwealth Games Glasgow 2026 Closing Ceremony at the OVO Hydro, working alongside Cutting Edge Scenery, People and Co and Wonder Works. Every piece had to roll into the arena and be assembled in a four-hour window before the show.

What made this one tricky:

- Four large stage platforms, an accessible ramp and 8 rolling risers, all built on castors
- Kit pre-built outside the arena over 2 x 8-hour overnight calls, then rolled in
- Custom-cut leg heights so every LED floor level sat exactly right
- Castors reduce a deck's load rating, so our engineers re-rated the design for its intended use

Got a load-in window that won't move? Send us a message or get in touch through our website.

Five stars from David at Seen Presents ⭐
Getting the planning right before anything leaves the warehouse is half of it. The other half is down to the crew and project manager on the day.
Thanks, David.

Over 1,000 seats in a sports hall with no permanent fixtures 💺

We recently delivered, installed and finished tiered and flat-floor seating for HRUC's Uxbridge campus — turning their sports hall into a full-capacity venue for the day, ready to switch straight back for term time.

A few things that made this one interesting:

- Three raked tiers holding 600 seats, combined with 420 flat-floor seats
- Centura upholstered seating on the flat floor, with box seats on the tiers after a stock shortage forced a switch
- A 10-hour build and an 8-hour de-rig either side of the event

Planning an event that needs flexible seating at scale? Get in touch.

No two events are exactly the same. We built the platform for an AV and projections event at the Grand Hall, Connaught Rooms, on behalf of the London School of Economics:

• A 40ft-wide, 16ft-deep platform in Steeldeck's 8x4 boards
• 18mm ply front kickboard coach-bolted to decks
• A full wheelchair ramp and landing built in and painted to match
