I found this @Ocado leaflet in my @morrisons order - what game are you two playing?

[Michael Ager @mike_ager]

Definitely better with a bit of glitter!

[Michael Ager @mike_ager]

I'd completely forgotten about the circular stages that we built over at Foundry Studios back in January for this Greggs advert. They look great with a bit of glitter on them 🤩 @steeldeck

@deirdre_OH @brumhippodrome This is awesome - huge congratulations!

[Michael Ager @mike_ager]

@organixbrands - I brought these in @asda Leigh Supercentre this morning and when we got home noticed that they are out of date. @AsdaServiceTeam - not great for your stores to be selling out of date baby food.

Well now that the @steeldeck Manchester Depot has moved to Eccles, it would have been rude not to 🤣

[Michael Ager @mike_ager]

Our new home town!

@steeldeck Manchester are growing. We have an excellent new warehouse and office in Eccles.

[Steeldeck Rentals @steeldeck]

Good news from up North: our Manchester team have moved to larger premises in Eccles!

Their new home gives them room for continued growth, enabling them to deliver more projects, build bespoke kit more easily, and provide improved logistics. See you there soon! #Steeldeck

In the local Spoons, drinking the unlimited coffees, awaiting a call from the estate agents to say I can collect keys. I’d have started on the beers if I didn’t have the car with me 😂

@chewytheleftie When did it become Eos “classic”? That makes me feel old! I remember starting at the young Vic in 2007 and we were awaiting arrival of the first gen eos and a pair of ions to replace the strand 520i, strand 300, and Arri Mirage.

[Michael Ager @mike_ager]

@DominicBilkey At least we attempt to set deadlines!

[Michael Ager @mike_ager]

Buying a house should not be as stressful as estate agents and solicitors somehow manage to make it. In no other business is it acceptable to work at the pace of the slowest person and not set any deadlines.

[Michael Ager @mike_ager]

Had a lovely day down in Stoke building some @steeldeck audience platforms for @restoke’s production of “The Lotus Eaters”, the first part of a nationwide production of “The Odyssey”, lead by the @NationalTheatre Public Acts Team.

@Deliveroo @DeliverooHelp I did not receive my entire order - only 5 of 9 burgers chips and drinks. You won’t refund it unless I get the five who already ate to regurgitate the food so that I can send you a photo of the actual food - pictures of the wrapped up food aren’t enough!

[Michael Ager @mike_ager]

@Depheruk What areas do you cover? We are buying a house in BL5 and will be looking to get a new boiler fitted at some point this year.

[Michael Ager @mike_ager]

Not every job that you quote for ends up happening, but today I drew up a pretty crazy stage for a client and I really would love to see this one built. A big, fiddly, multi level stage using loadsa deck in loadsa shapes and sizes - a @steeldeck rentals speciality!

[Michael Ager @mike_ager]

You have to do what is best for you and your family, and for most people that isn’t going to be working backstage or living in London. 3/3

[Michael Ager @mike_ager]

Pay, hours, and conditions all need addressing to retain and recruit a backstage workforce. I couldn’t start a family working in theatre in London. I left and we moved to Manchester. Now we have a 5 month old baby and are buying a house. 1/3

With backstage theatre workers leaving the industry in worrying numbers, producer Richard Jordan considers how we can inspire a new generation behind the scenes https://t.co/xfY7jGPCmN

[Michael Ager @mike_ager]

I still get to do a bit of work with theatres, alongside concerts, events, sport, conferences, exhibitions and everything that Steeldeck do. I’m happier, and even though it gets busy over the summer, I’m never doing the kind of hours that I was in theatre. 2/3
