SLX will provide broadcast lighting, rigging, and sports presentation lighting for the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, according to the company. CEO Alastair Currie stated that the opportunity is a source of immense pride for SLX, reflecting the team’s journey and the company’s values.
SLX’s role includes ensuring all sporting moments are captured to international broadcast standards and creating an engaging atmosphere for spectators both at the venues and watching at home. The project spans multiple venues, sports, and competition schedules, requiring thousands of hours of planning, installation, and operation.
According to Currie, SLX has been preparing for this project for decades, with significant investments in its people, training, infrastructure, and technology. Previous projects, including the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games and the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, have provided invaluable experience. The company combines broadcast expertise with live event creativity, focusing on delivering consistent results under pressure.
SLX emphasizes its commitment to sustainability and responsible event delivery, aiming to balance operational excellence with environmental and social responsibility. The company hopes the project will showcase the capabilities of the UK events industry, strengthen SLX’s reputation, and inspire the next generation of event professionals.
