Quattro lends a float to the Bank of China in the 2017 Lord Mayor's Show

For many years now Quattro has donated one of our Low-loader trucks to the Sea Cadets to transform into a float for the Lord Mayor's show,
The Lord Mayor's Show is the longest un-rehearsed procession in the world. It takes place every November and has been running for 802 years!
This year however brought a slight change to that tradition as the Sea Cadets weren't taking part. Instead our low-loader would be transformed into a colourful, musical float for the Bank of China.
The float design was based around the concept of the Chinese hand-held paper fan, which we scaled up to produce 3 working fans to a size of 5m wide and 2.5m high using wooden battens and printed material.
Pictures and a viewers video footage from the day have been dispalyed below for you to see Quattro in the Lord Mayor's show 2017.
