Meet Blue, oXyFire’s Head of Security and Officer of Fun.

At 15 weeks old, she’s still fairly new to the role, so this week we sent her off-site for some essential staff development: her first trip to the beach.

The agenda included sand inspection, meeting the local mounted patrol, chasing waves and generally making sure nobody took Monday too seriously.

Blue’s already teaching us something useful: work matters, but so do the moments that make you smile.

So we’re giving her a regular Monday slot to share her adventures, questionable workplace conduct and ongoing professional development.

Because Mondays could all do with a little more Blue. 💙

We’re right in the middle of the summer music event calendar, with sunny summer filled with live music, festival fields and crowds singing every word back to the stage.

Every year we work with some incredible outdoor events across the UK, including . Billed as the UK’s biggest old skool festival, it brings together more than 25,000 people for nostalgia, energy, and some of the biggest dance anthems of a generation.

oXyFire has captured this special atmosphere for many years, from crowd reactions and shared moments, to the energy that ripples across the field from the first act to the final encore.

For festivals, the event doesn't end when the last act leaves the stage. The content captured on the day becomes the foundation for next year's campaign, helping turn memories into anticipation and audiences into returning ticket buyers.

Take a look at our highlights from this amazing event from the past few years and read the full case study on our website!

Seven weeks to update our Google business address. Twelve hours to prove why it mattered.

When we moved warehouses recently, I immediately started updating our business rates address, online directories and Google Business Profile. I knew Google would be the most challenging, and it certainly was.

Because our new location is quite rural, our verification attempts kept being rejected. We submitted evidence, completed checks and sent videos, but we still could not convince Google that we were a legitimate business operating from the new address.
After seven weeks of persistence, we were finally approved and, within 12 hours, we received our first enquiry through Google.

CANADA needed a production base for a short film, with Marta Bobic as the Producer and Lewis Mitchell as the Line Producer. Our large car park became a staging area for their low loader, giving the team enough room to turn it around, prepare and rig the vehicle safely before it went out onto the road for filming.
They also used our office space for hair and makeup, crew and administration areas, DIT stations and other production facilities, with access to our kitchen and toilets throughout the day.

It was a great example of how an existing commercial space can become something completely different when the right people discover it.

The day also reminded me just how small our industry is. Their First AC was our friend Ben McFarlane, whom we have worked with regularly over the years. Lewis had recently returned from two years in New Zealand, where he had got to know our good friend and Colour Grader, Paul Handley.

Paul happened to call me while the production was taking place today. He was surprised to discover that Lewis was there. Then the DIT, Steve Day, suddenly appeared over my shoulder on the call too. It completely blew Paul’s mind.

There were two simple lessons from the day.

Keep your business information up to date, even when the process is frustrating. You never know which customer is searching for exactly what you can offer.

Also, keep in touch with people. Industries are smaller and more connected than we sometimes realise, and relationships have a wonderful way of coming full circle.

Seven weeks of Google verification. Twelve hours to our first enquiry. One brilliant reminder that persistence and people really matter. 😍

One of oXyFire's strategic pillars focuses on our talent pipeline. We are committed to fostering and building a community of skilled staff and freelancers who will support our business growth, as well as their own development.

How do we do this in practice? Well, we host events for our amazing freelance community to help them keep their skills up to date and relevant to an ever-changing industry, for example lunch and learn sessions, and working with the team at Canford Audio to host training workshops. We've delivered guest lectures at Hallam University, sharing our real-world experience to those looking to get into live production. And to get young minds starting to think about a life in technical production, we get them hands-on experience at some of our projects.

A key partner is the Get the Nation Learning campaign from the Learning & Work Institute. Not only do we run their awards ceremony, Jay and Simon are fully signed up to the campaign's charter to recognise the many benefits of lifelong learning for people, society, and the economy.

Big plans ahead for how we plan to play our part! Watch this space...

Two people were asked to share a lemon fairly, so they did the obvious thing and cut it in half.

The problem was that one person wanted the zest and the other wanted the juice. If they had simply talked first, they could both have had 100% of what they needed.

It’s a simple story, but it says a lot about communication. We often jump straight to a solution before we’ve taken the time to understand the real need.

That’s central to how we work at oXyFire Media. We don’t assume we know what a client needs or arrive with a solution already mapped out. We ask what they want to achieve, who they need to reach and what success looks like, then develop the project around those answers.

Because a great solution to the wrong problem is not a great solution.

Before you divide the lemon, start a conversation.

If you are planning an internal communications project and want to start with the right questions, let’s have a conversation.

Two festivals, two production partners, two weekends of brillant live music.

The oXyFire team has been out supporting and on consecutive weekends, working alongside to deliver livestreams and big screen playout for both incredible events.

Live festival production moves fast. Keeping the vibes going across multiple stages with an non-stop line up of amazing artists, all with their own creative vision takes flexibility, teamwork and plenty of experience behind the scenes.

Collaboration is our team's superpower: especially when the days are long, the pace is relentless and there’s always something to solve. We loved working alongside the production teams to help bring both festivals to life, on and off stage.

A huge thanks to and @ for recognising that the best productions come from collaboration, not competition. The willingness to bring together great people, regardless of the logo on their shirt, is what delivers exceptional results for clients.

Who knew that when we booked a recce on The Mall for July 20th we'd end up in the middle of a historic day at Buckingham Palace?

We're in London helping a long-standing client plan a move for their annual awards ceremony, and our site visit just happened to coincide with the King appointing the new Prime Minister.

There’s a whirlwind of crowds, news crews, tight security and blazing summer sunshine: certainly not your average venue recce!

Sometimes event planning puts you right where history is happening.

As a 15th birthday present to ourselves, we decided it was high time our website caught up with the business we've become.

oXyFire has grown, evolved, and delivered hundreds of projects across live events, arts and culture, corporate communications, livestreaming, and broadcast. Our old website had done a good job, but it no longer reflected who we are today, how we work, or the range of services we offer our clients.

So we've rebuilt it. https://oXyFire.com

The new and improved site gives a clearer picture of the sectors we work in, the services we provide, and the brilliant team and freelance specialists who help bring every project to life.

Fifteen years in business has taught us a lot. Technology changes. Audiences change. Expectations change. What hasn't changed is our belief that great production should make communication clearer, experiences stronger, and stories more memorable.

Have a look around and let us know what you think. And to everyone who has trusted us with their projects over the last 15 years: thank you! We wouldn't be here without you

It goes without saying that we always take Pride in our work, so here is Si walking the walk (or should that be hammering the hammer…)

Alongside a packed production schedule, we're busy moving into our very exciting new warehouse. There's plenty to do before it's ready, but the extra space will give us room to grow, better storage for equipment, and a dedicated base for building, testing, and preparing productions before they head out into the world.

For now, it's all hands on deck. Between the painting, building, lifting, sorting, and the occasional debate about where things should live, progress is definitely being made. We’ll be back with a full tour soon!

What an incredible two days at FORGE 2026. Packed rooms, inspirational speakers, and engaged audiences for every session. The energy in the venue was absolutely electric, and an amazing way to motivate and inspire local business leaders.

As FORGE’s technical production partner, we were so proud to deliver the live event production designed to amplify the positivity and forward-thinking ideas shared by the event’s speakers: Professor Steve Peters, Carrie Rose, Damian Hughes, James Burke, Marcus Sheridan, Nathalie Nahai, Suman Randhawa, Kelsi Navalta & Daniel Priestley

The biggest thanks must go to Jon Asquith, whose vision and passion was the foundation for FORGE’s success.

Keep your eyes peeled later next week for a look behind the scenes at our live production set up and the amazing oXyFire Media team in action!
