“I cannot think of a more imaginative, innovative and progressive group of people to join.” Curbishley commented. “Over the years, I have worked on so many projects, side by side with TAIT, and have watched as they have taken the fantastical, ambitious and, at times, outright crazy dreams of designers, and turned them into tourable, slick, pieces of art!”

“Mickey has been my close friend and colleague in the industry for 30 years,” shared James “Winky” Fairorth, CEO of TAIT. “It is truly an honor to finally have him on the same team.
