Steel backing for internationally acclaimed choir and the local leisure centre, be sufficiently load bearing, and provide a quality long- term solution for the formation. After establishing the exact requirements, Caparo Precision Tubes agreed to provide 170 lengths of zinc plated ERW tube, complete with swaged ends, in order for the stage construction frames to fit together. In addition, CPS delivered 20 lengths of zinc plated flat sided oval steel tube, which were also used for the construction of the frames. Caparo Precision Tubes on this project, was highly complementary of the business and the support provided: “From the initial point of contact through to the very delivery of the tube components, Caparo were there for us every step of the way.” “We were more than happy to support this internationally acclaimed act,” commented Dennis Morrill, managing director of Caparo Precision Tubes.

CAPARO Precision Tubes, an expert in the manufacture and post-production manipulation of steel tube, has provided much-needed support to the famous Caldicot Male Voice Choir. The company donated hundreds of metres of steel tube for use in the construction of the stage for the choir’s annual concert in March. The Caldicot Male Voice Choir, which was formed in 1963, sang alongside the Three Tenors (Pavarotti, Domingo and Carreras) at their concert at Wembley Stadium in 1996, and also performed at Her Majesty the Queen’s Golden Jubilee, held at Buckingham Palace in 2002. While preparing for its 2010 annual concert, the choir’s management realised that they would require additions to the current staging for the event, to enable the choir to be staged in an arc formation by using wedge sections of steel frames. They contacted Caparo Precision Tubes with a request to assist in the supply of steel tube for the frames. The stage needed to fit the choir’s purpose-built hall
