What a night!!

Invited to Mactac Uk’s bi-annual awards ceremony, in the hope of winning an award, we were all surprised when we picked up TWO. Our highly visual tranformation of a fleet of refuse trucks for Southwark Council, ‘Art on the Cart’ was given the ultimate accolade, with us being awarded EUROPEAN WINNER for best fleet graphics. With over a 1,000 entries from countries all over Europe we were up against very stiff competition. It was the stunningly visual effects and the complexity of the production and application of the graphics onto the refuse vehicles that swung the judging in our favour. Four members of Team Raccoon were there on the night to accept the award.

In addition to winning a European Award, we were also highly commended for our ground breaking wrapping project, where we transformed two capsules on the London Eye into a underground train and London Bus. http://www.vanwraps.co.uk/londoneye.html to see the movie on this project.

The Awards evening took place at a Beautiful country house near Northampton, with a great dinner, good company, plenty of drink flowing. I must admit, the occasion got to us, and we ended up celebrating into the early hours of the morning! Sore heads all round.
