The system was built on the Monday, prior to rehearsals of the Thursday evening show, and removed overnight following the ceremony.

“It was important that the barrier fitted in with the overall look of the production,” says Kevin Thorborn, Mojo Barriers’ UK maManager. “We were delighted to be able to respond flexibly when MTV Europe specified a black aluminium barrier. Meeting the production values of our clients is a key part of our service.”
