Finding the right company to create your prop or puppet can be a daunting experience, but we are here to make sure you are happy every step of the way.

Your project manager will be an expert in the style of prop or puppet, and type of event that you’re working on, and they will oversee every single step of the process. This means that you are always in touch with a dedicated and knowledgeable professional.

Your project manager will discuss all the important aspects of your concept with you, from materials and specific usage requirements, to deadlines and costing. Every single prop or puppet that we make is completely bespoke, so your project manager will work with you to find the right price for your budget. If you prefer, you can provide designs yourself, or we can work as your prop or puppet consultant and designer. Once you’re ready to begin the build process, you pay a deposit and we get to work.

Throughout the manufacturing of your prop or puppet, your project manager will keep you updated with photos and videos so that you’re involved at every step of the way. You can collect your brand-new creation when it’s finished, or we can provide delivery and installation.
