We have run control rooms for television and streaming since 2012, working from Dorchester and travelling to venues across the south of England.
trendumu started in Dorchester in 2012 with a simple aim: to run live production galleries calmly and clearly. Fourteen years on, the work is still built around that aim. We are a small company, and that shapes how we work.
The company began when a handful of broadcast technicians saw how often live events relied on improvised control room setups. Cameras were good, but the gallery behind them was cramped, badly labelled or put together the night before. We set out to bring order to that part of the job.
Early work was mostly concerts and local stage events, switching a few cameras for venue screens. Word spread among organisers and production companies, and requests grew to include streaming, graphics and full crew planning for larger shows.
Over time we added control room design and fit-out, because the same problems kept appearing in rooms we visited. Daniel surveys the space, plans the signal paths and installs the monitor walls, intercom and routing, then walks your staff through the finished room.
Our crew has stayed small on purpose. Helen leads every gallery, Daniel looks after the equipment, Priya plans schedules and budgets, and Tom runs graphics and replay. Everyone knows the show before it starts, which saves time when something changes.
Most of our work is in the south of England, within reach of Dorchester. We prefer to know a venue before show day, so we visit when we can and write down what we learn for the next time we return.

Live shows rarely go exactly to plan. We rehearse, agree fallbacks beforehand and keep intercom talk short, so when a feed drops the crew responds steadily and the audience barely notices.
You get written quotations, run sheets and plain answers. On the day, calls are brief and precise, and afterwards we tell you what went well and what we would change.
We turn up early, test everything and keep spare cables and kit on hand. Schedules are planned so the broadcast starts when it should and finishes cleanly.
Write to us through the contact page with a few details about your event. Priya will reply with questions or a written quotation, and there is no obligation to go ahead.
