Eventually this side passion became a full-time job, and the understairs storage cupboard wasn’t quite big enough for the growing stock. Clive moved his props and equipment to a shed, which soon turned into a larger shed and very quickly after that to a warehouse space in Leicester to store the still ever-increasing inventory.   

Clive’s son, Michael took interest in his father’s work and began to lend a helping hand from a young age which pathed the way to making More Production the close-knit family company it is today.

Business went from strength to strength and our client base grew exponentially over the next few years. As the projects and requirements grew, more helping hands were needed, and with each new person brought new passions and skills to the table creating a more diverse service for event production solutions. Our team now consists of project managers, production managers, CADD & 3D renderers, Carpenters, Seamstresses, Metal and Material Fabricators, Upholstery technicians, drapers and marketing. 

Seeing an opportunity for growth, Jade came on to the team, pushing to expand more into the wedding sector as it could offer huge potential. More Production launched More Weddings and jumped from a couple of wedding bookings a year to around 80 bookings that year. We are now the preferred clients for many wedding venues around the Midlands & Leicestershire area and love transforming venues for our clients special day.

In 2017 Michael became the MD of More Production, since then, we’ve expanded our hire stock to include a vast amount of furniture. Our furniture hire service began after we had to build 6 of what we now call a ‘colours cube’ seat for a job. The service just rolled out from there and it is now at the forefront of our business. We created nine unique furniture ranges, the majority of which are built in house and upholstered by our talented seamstress, Helen. More Furniture was recently created to focus on the increasing furniture enquiries. Our furniture ranges continue to develop with new and exciting products launched for 2023.

We don’t just hire out props, as the company continues to grow, we continually receive larger event enquiries, therefore the office staff’s role has expanded into creative design and project management. During the proposal stage they send out detailed plans of action with suggestions from our Aladdin’s cave of props, working to the available plans from the venue, to transform the event space. You are assigned a project / event manager who communicates everything with a designated production manager and the whole team is briefed internally on the specifications of your event. The project manager will attend as many site visits or meetings that you require on the run up to your event.

18 years later, we’ve managed to weather the socio-economic storms of Covid and we’re still growing our collection of props with new themes like boho and tropical disco. We have a high calibre of clientele, have been featured on television shows, installed celebrity weddings, worked in the most prestigious venues and worked on some of the country’s most prestigious events such as Silverstone F1 British Grand Prix and the RHS Chelsea & Chatsworth Flower shows. Our 2018 installation at Chatsworth Flower Show even went on to achieve 1st place at the People’s Choice Award in the Installations category.
