Freelance Scenic Carpenter & Set Builder

Freelance Scenic Carpenter & Set Builder

Build sets in the workshop and finish them on site: scenic carpentry, cladding and print installs for events that get photographed.

Kudos AV produces conferences, award ceremonies, brand activations, exhibitions and private events across London and the UK, around 500 a year, from our base in Uxbridge. The core team is full time; when a build needs more hands we book freelancers we know, and the people who do good work get booked again and again.

For scenic that means sets fabricated at our Uxbridge workshop and installed in five star hotels and heritage venues, printed graphics applied without bubbles, and finishes that hold up when the client walks the room an hour before doors.
