The outside broadcast services provider will also supply facilities for terrestrial broadcaster ITV and American channel VH1.
Susan Bourne, unit manager of the event, said that she was looking forward to working with the director, David Mallet. “It's a great job for us to work on and we're especially pleased to be working with one of the best known directors in the music business,” she said.
In addition to the Nelson Mandela concert NEP Visions is also providing four different customers with facilities at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships which takes place over the next fortnight.
