How it started
Big Purple Productions started in Gateshead with Sam Gordon and a van full of AV kit. The work was conferences for North East businesses who needed someone who knew how to make a stage look like one. Raych McKay joined as a junior tech, came up through the kit room and the production desk, and now runs the business alongside Sam as co-director.
