HMS Glasgow, the first of eight Type 26 frigates being built by BAE Systems for the Royal Navy, was officially named by Catherine The Princess of Wales, at a ceremony in Scotstoun Shipyards, Glasgow.
With such a prestigious event being held in our own back yard, Cameron Events were super chuffed to be commissioned to fully project manage the entire day’s festivities – safe to say it was all hands on deck for such an occasion.
A massive thank you to you and your team for the amount of effort, skill and tenacity you showed to give us the best day we could have hoped for. It was a career highlight for me and worth all the blood, sweat, and tears – now it’s time for beers. Thanks and please let your team know how much we appreciated their work.
From capturing the event live, to providing furniture and theming for the VIP area, Cameron Events were on hand to ensure it was plain sailing for all involved, with a full and comprehensive list of deliverables:
Live camera operations and multi-location streaming to ensure the ceremony was broadcast flawlessly across various zones and online for viewers across the world.
P.A. systems installed across several large outdoor spaces, maintaining pristine sound quality throughout the ceremony, family area, and VIP zones.
Three large outdoor LED walls, providing high-resolution visuals that allowed all attendees, regardless of location, to witness key moments up close.
Event structures such as a grandstand, a beautifully appointed VIP marquee, and a dedicated family day area featuring festive activities and entertainment.
High-end furniture installations for both the VIP area and the grandstand, elevating the guest experience and offering comfort and luxury fitting for the occasion.
With an event of this scale and visibility, every detail mattered. We faced the challenge of transforming an industrial shipyard into a polished, royal-worthy event space. Our team coordinated across multiple suppliers and stakeholders, managing everything from safety logistics to site layouts, all while ensuring seamless AV integration and robust contingency plans.
The result? A flawless execution that balanced the ceremonial gravitas with a festive atmosphere for families and BAE staff.
