Press Release, August 2009
‘Lights, camera, action!’...in the office
Amateur dramatics has become an award-winning hobby
for a Market Harborough business couple.
Chris Lovelock, Managing Director of Market Harborough based company,
ICON, and his colleague and wife Sandra both took parts in an
educational training film. They also turned their offices over to the
film crew for use as a location.
Chris and Sandra have been involved with the Billesdon Drama Society for
many years. They both jumped at the chance to take part in the film,
being made for the University of Leicester, along with fifteen other
members of the society.
“I had quite a large part in the film, which is based in a hospital, as
the patient’s son, and Sandra was one of the nurses on the ward,”
explained Chris. “I’ve acted in many, many plays, but never been in a
film before.”
The film, Mr. Kirby’s Story, is inspired by the case history of a real
patient and was made to assist the teaching health and social care
students. It won an award in the 2009 Media Festival Awards over in the
USA.
The film highlights issues around caring for elderly patients and
focuses on the relationships between care professionals, the patient and
the patient’s family. Working to a limited budget, the film was made
with the generous help of volunteer actors from the Billesdon Drama
Society.
“The main scene I am in was actually filmed at ICON’s offices,”
explained Chris, “located at The Point in Market Harborough.”
The company has developed the ICON system, a range of utilities to help
with the management and collation of data for large building projects.
It’s designed to ensure that all necessary steps are taken and recorded
in the project management process, including surveys, health and safety,
and CAD libraries. The ICON solution allows the management of
construction information during the three key stages of a building’s
lifecycle:
• The design and specification of buildings
• The project roll-out of new builds and refurbishments
• The ongoing management of built properties (comprising planning,
construction, maintenance and disposal)
Developed in conjunction with design standards and
project managers, it provides access to accurate, real-time information
for all members of a project delivery team, resulting in improved
confidence, communication, safety, efficiency, product quality and
budgetary control.
