Case Study: Powering Premium Events at The Vineyard with Seamless Wi-Fi
Client: The Vineyard, Burnley’s newest premium event venue
Location: Burnley, England
Background:
Building upon the success of the renowned Corkhouse, The Vineyard is an exciting new venture by Dave and Maria Beardsworth, adding a sophisticated dimension to Burnley’s nightlife.
This impressive venue has already made a significant impact, hosting popular events like an 80s-themed disco and a Freddie Mercury tribute act, each attracting over 300 attendees.
A reliable and high-speed Wi-Fi infrastructure was essential to ensure smooth operations and cater to the needs of both staff and guests.

The Challenge:
The Vineyard required a robust Wi-Fi solution to support two key areas:
Staff Operations: Providing reliable connectivity for daily tasks and internal communication.
Epos Systems: Ensuring seamless and uninterrupted food and beverage sales transactions during events.
Crucially, this new Wi-Fi network needed to integrate with the Corkhouse’s existing data connection, and the installation had to be completed within a tight timeframe and with minimal disruption to both venues’ ongoing operations.

The Solution:
Having established a successful partnership by providing high-speed data and Wi-Fi for the Corkhouse, The Vineyard naturally turned to SJD Consultancy for their expertise. SJD Consultancy delivered a tailored solution that involved:
Strategic Placement of High-Speed Wi-Fi Access Points: Carefully positioned access points throughout The Vineyard to ensure comprehensive and consistent coverage across the entire venue, even during peak event attendance.
Integration with Existing Infrastructure: The new access points will be seamlessly connected to the preexisting high-speed data connection that SJD Consultancy had previously installed for the Corkhouse.
Prioritisation of Reliability: Implementing a robust and stable network configuration to guarantee uninterrupted connectivity for both staff and the critical EPOS systems.

The Implementation:
SJD Consultancy’s experienced team executed the installation efficiently and professionally, adhering to the agreed timescales and ensuring zero downtime for either The Vineyard or the Corkhouse.
This meticulous approach meant that The Vineyard could continue its preparations and host its highly anticipated launch events without any technical hiccups.
The Results:
The implementation of SJD Consultancy’s high-speed Wi-Fi solution has provided The Vineyard with a reliable and efficient network that effectively supports its operational needs:
Seamless Staff Operations: Staff can now rely on a stable and fast Wi-Fi connection for all tasks, enhancing productivity and communication.
Uninterrupted Transactions: The EPOS systems operate smoothly without disruption, ensuring efficient service and accurate sales during busy events.
Enhanced Venue Experience: While the initial requirement focused on staff and systems, the robust Wi-Fi infrastructure lays the foundation for potential future guest Wi-Fi offerings, further enhancing the overall experience at The Vineyard.
