Conference of Parties 26
It would be held at the SEC Centre in Glasgow, Scotland and would be the destination of over 25,000 delegates from the world over - not to mention an attraction to the local populace.
Delayed by a year due to Covid-19, the conference was held from October 31st through till November 13th, 2021.
Our Mission
3 Miles of Barrier. 4 Hours to act.
The team at Big Red Beard was given a 4 hour window to deploy 3 miles of barriers that would accommodate high volumes of foot traffic between Glasgow City Centre and the West End proper. The reason for the window was due to the logistical needs surrounding the visiting delegates.
There was a limited time to deploy the barriers because of the scheduled road closures and the approaching climate demonstrations. Regardless, the goal was to allow these delegates to travel the road safely and securely between their designated venues.
“From the SECC to Kelvinhall - and back again. World leaders travelled the designated routes guided by local police and by our barriers. We had 4 hours to deploy 3 miles of barrier - we did it in 3.”
- William Cook, founder of Big Red Beard
