“Netflix has chosen to work with Cignpost again and again as they are the TV & Film industry’s trusted partner for COVID-19 testing and security. We have now completed 15 high-profile productions together, including complex, multi-country shoots. Their mobile laboratories have been ever-present on our sets throughout the pandemic, keeping cast & crew safe using the latest in testing technology, including lateral flow, and rapid PCR- bringing our resulting time down from an initial 24 hours to just 2 hours.”
“For the All Blacks 2021 Northern Hemisphere tour, we were looking for a provider who could deliver the difficult COVID testing schedule needed to keep our squad and management safe.
Cignpost had a great reputation from their work with the PGA European tour and they were able to create a bespoke solution for us. Their staff were professional and adapted to late changes, whilst always providing rapid turnaround of results independent of which country we were in.
Flexibility, speed, and a low profile in the team environment are key attributes for any external provider we use, and they delivered all of these without fail. We would have no hesitation in working with them in the future and I would strongly recommend their services.”
“Our partnership with Cignpost has been essential in running and enabling our foreign race programme through this year. We have been able to utilise their network of testing sites across the UK for our riders who are geographically spread for the Fit to fly testing where they can conveniently fit this in around their intense training programmes. The fast turn around of results also ensures a covid free bubble when we travel and provides piece of mind to the riders and their family in an uncertain time when we are crossing borders”
“SailGP global event director Jennie Kim said: “Keeping our world-class athletes, global staff, guests, media and fans safe is absolutely paramount to us at SailGP. It is essential that we take the necessary procedures to reduce COVID-19 transmissions and our partnership with Cignpost diagnostics – as official screening services supplier for the Great Britain Sail Grand Prix – is an essential part of this. Their expertise, operations on site and ability to turn around fast and accurate results was essential to the successful running of the event and screening services is now an essential part of the fabric of any event in these current times.””
“The Cignpost Diagnostics COVID-19 screening service has allowed The Pursuit of Love to return to work quickly and safely and to get us back to doing what we do best - producing great television. The mobile laboratory is extremely professional, staffed by a team of technicians who efficiently turn our tests around quickly with results back with us within a few short hours. I’ve been especially impressed at the flexibility shown by the Cignpost Diagnostics team who have reacted quickly to changes in the testing numbers as our schedule has evolved throughout the shoot.”
“It has been a pleasure to work with Cignpost and FHH over these past few months. Their end-to-end comprehensive service has been first class, communication defined by its ease. The speed and accuracy of reporting through their software accreditation system made things simple. We all felt like a valued customer. I would thoroughly recommend Cignpost FHH to others within the production industry and beyond”
“Cignpost delivered for our North America based Endeavor Content Production Teams a simply first-class premium testing service, featuring impeccable communication and flexibility, a dedicated Account Manager, with no fuss and no drama. At a time when we had limited resources and extremely long turn-around times, Cignpost came to our rescue and have now looked after 2 large productions for us. We will continue to work with them, using their portable laboratories that offer sub 4-hour PCR results.”
“If you look at the process that we have put in place with Cignpost Diagnostics it’s about decreasing risk. When they arrive at the venue everyone gets a temperature check, they also have a PCR test that’s taken and only takes 2-4 hours to get back, which is much faster than any other professional sport.”
“Utilising the expertise of Cignpost and their efficient PCR test turnaround time of approx. 4 hours, it gave stakeholders the necessary reassurance to allow the Aberdeen Standard Investments Ladies Scottish Open to proceed in a bio-secure environment. The mobile laboratory and swabbing facility onsite also gave confidence to playing professionals that anyone showing symptoms was able to take a PCR test and would be cleared within hours, giving them the best possible chance of continuing to play.”
“The team at Cignpost are fast, efficient and friendly. Having been in partnership with them since the easing of restrictions meant that football could return, they have dealt with the testing constraints admirably and have always ensured that we are never left short when working to tight deadlines. The team have a commercial understanding and have worked hard to ensure a structured approach is adhered to throughout the entire testing process.”
“Thank you Cignpost Diagnostics for helping us get the distance runners to the start line, with the Athletes COVID-19 screening.”
“We’ve been using Cignpost for our Covid19 Testing regime since the players started back after lockdown. The process and systems in place have been tweaked and refined during the early weeks and I’m delighted to say that we now have a very professional and efficient service with a very quick turnaround of results. This is due in no small way to our account manager Alison who is so helpful and obliging. Our needs as a club are very well looked after by Cignpost.”
“I wanted to say thank you so much for the gold standard service that Cignpost have provided on both BBC Studios Productions, we have been really pleased at how straight forward everything has been and even more delighted that all the results were negative.”
“Working with Cignpost Diagnostics allows us to protect our most valuable resource – our employees. The rapid turnaround of PCR tests (within 4 hours) keeps our staff safe and ensures an unbroken supply to our customers. Cignpost Diagnostics is one of the most organised, flexible, professional and fast-reacting companies we have had the pleasure to work with.”
