"Jobs get done so much faster when using Super Rod products, they save you time and money, which is essential, when all of the other trades are pushing you to get your cables into place so that can finish their stage of the job off as well".

Billy also recalled an occasion, when he was working on a special effects scene for another popular evening programme, using fire.

"Two corridors needed to be rigged, the Cable Rod products were again extremely helpful, working in two teams rigging a corridor in each, my team used the Cable Rod to pass over the false ceilings pulling the cables through the void, whereas the other team had to remove every other panel.

All of our lights were erected, cables backed to the mains and working, the other team were still struggling while we were having our lunch!".

Working away on location is an every day part of the job for Billy week, so maximum efficiency is of paramount importance to him and his team.

"Before I used Super Rod, I used to waste so much time and energy by using string, weights and plastic trunking, but with Cable Rod screw section there are no restrictions and a lot of flexibility and durability, every tradesperson should have one, the Cable Rod and the attachments really is a great tool, absolutely brilliant".
