2004 - BEIRG formed in London

 

In 2004, at offices in Kendall Avenue, Acton, London, a group of companies and individuals came together to 

discuss upcoming plans by Ofcom that would have a major impact on the PMSE (Programme Making & Special Events) community.

 

On the 23rd November 2004, Ofcom would publish their 'Spectrum Framework Review' (SFR), a document that would lay out plans for future spectrum access, that would have an incredible impact on the entire PMSE community,

and yet the document never even contained any mention of PMSE whatsoever.

 

So on the 3rd November 2004, with an organisation name devised by freelance sound engineer and sound recordist John Turnock, BEIRG was born and it was agreed that it would seek to advise Ofcom with future consultations on PMSE spectrum requirements.

​

The rest as they say, is history.

 

The Steering Group would like to say a huge thank you to those that were present that day, for the amazing work they did in bringing

BEIRG to life, and for laying the foundations for what has followed.
