Wii Select & the BBC

'Out of the Frying Pan' was recently aired on BBC 2 where we followed two runners up from 'The Restaurant', James Knight Pacheco and Alasdair Hooper, stepping out of the professional kitchen to test their skills in the real world, as event caterers.


What you may not know is that the wonderful waiting staff was infact two members from our team! Last December Wii Select put forward a number of staff who were all interviewed by Alasdair himself, filmed a couple of days later then aired, as you saw it, in May (watch this space, the video will be appearing on the blog soon).

More exciting news is that in a few weeks time Wii Select will be providing more staff for an upcoming BBC show (which we unfortunately can't tell you anything about). We'll let you know how it goes!

Wii Select sponsors ISES talks at Kent House

Wii Select were the proud sponsors at the ISES talks held at the lovely Kent House earlier in the week. With experience in bringing to life Top Gear Live and Taste of London, events managing director Chris Hughes gave a captivating keynote seminar focusing on his strengths - how to take a television show and turn it into a live event.

It was a priviledge for us to work in amongst such influential people in the events industry. Here is the article below or you can follow the link to the website directly:(http://www.eventmagazine.co.uk/news/1011415/ISES-Talks-held-Kent-House-picture-gallery/)
