The London event, held at BGC’s global headquarters at Barclay Tower, Canary Wharf, was supported by: Her Royal Highness, the Princess Royal; Countess Mountbatten of Burma; Mervyn King, Governor of the Bank England and a long list of celebrities from the worlds of sport, television and film, including rugby World Cup winning captain, Martin Johnson, international cricket icons Shane Warne and Andrew ‘Freddie’ Flintoff, and newly crowned three-day event World Champion, Zara Phillips.

Concert Systems provided a fully distributed sound system over the whole of the 20th floor, including a balanced, even coverage of the trading floor, utilising RCF Acustica C3108 speakers in 13 different locations. We also provided staging and a lectern, plasma screens, and an array of wireless microphones. Our camera crew filmed the day's events and produced a 30 minute DVD for the company. We also supplied simultaneous outside broadcast facilities, so that events taking place outdoors could be shown on the large indoor plasma screens.
