Good stuff that people have said about BOSi in road works / construction

I'm more than happy to offer my testimonial to the work that BoSI did on behalf of Lambeth, which was supported by TfL in Brixton during our works.

Initially, I had doubts, and concerns about how BoSI could engage the community without causing reputational damage to our crew and also I had reservations regarding health and safety, especially when asked if BoSI could enter our actual worksite.

All of my concerns were put to rest and I can honestly say that BoSI were a delight to work with. Their understanding and respect for health and safety regulations on a worksite, whilst being able to entertain the community is second to none.

Their ability to turn what is a frustrating and tiresome situation into something fun, exciting and amusing is remarkable.

I look forward to working with them in the future.

The Bureau of silly ideas transformed the road works on Brixton High Street into delightful, comic street theatre scenes which captured the imagination of passers by. They offered the public a new way of viewing what is normally an irritating disturbance to their day, using the road works to create humour and fun.

As one woman commented ‘It’s wonderful to see some humour in Brixton!’.

The lighting installations in the road works at night were especially successful, with large crowds gathering around to watch in disbelief as the ordinary, boring construction site came to life with lights and a water feature.
