Investing for the Future

New investment for the business in 2022

After COVID we are bouncing back with a bang!



With an increase in bookings for this year, we have decided to invest in some new stage equipment for the 2022 season. This investment will included two new stage structures and additional sound and lighting equipment to add to and upgrade our existing stock.

We have secured the purchase on an 8m x 6m and a 6m x 4m truss arc stage roof structures and modular Ali-deck stage floors from Global Truss Germany. These stage structures will compliment our trailer stages and are perfect for multi-day events. We have been able to offer stages for more than one day in the past, but with the demand on our services we haven’t been able to offer the best rates. Now with the new ground supported structures in our fleet we are able to offer very competitive rates for Multi-day hire, especially those where we can rig and derig during the week, rather than the busy weekend.


Stage Roof Structures


Unlike our trailer stages, the new truss arc structures are built from the ground up at each location. Although this adds a little time to the build of the stage, it means that it’s lighter and cheaper to transport. So ultimately, we can reduce the cost to our customers. This cost can be further reduced by having us build the stage and then dismantle it during the week, when we are quieter.


At the time of writing, we already have 12 bookings for our new 8m x 6m stage for the summer season. The clients all need the stage built up before the weekend that their events are taking place. We are then returning on the Monday or Tuesday follow the events to take the stage away.


Are you planning more than one event in a year?


We are now able to offer package rates for booking a stage (either with or without production) for clients that have more than one weekend of events at a single location, or have a touring festival in multiple locations across the UK. So, if you are an event planner and looking for the best rates for you staging and production then you will find it hard to find anyone with the experience, equipment and price that we can now offer.

What to do when weather strikes? We recently wrote a post about the different types of weather you need to be particularly careful of, and what precautions you need to take. The most common weather event we have in the UK is rain. But what impact does this have on an outdoor event, and what can you do to mitigate the situation?
