It starts with your brief and, wherever possible, a site visit. We turn that into a technical plan covering the stage, sound, lighting, video and power the event actually needs, then install it, support it while the event runs and break it down afterwards. Booking everything together makes the most of crew and transport, and it means the people who planned the event are the people on site.
- 1
Brief
Tell us about the event, the venue and the audience. If the details are still moving, we can work from a rough outline.

Site visit and technical planning
We visit the site where we can, then produce a plan covering stage, sound, lighting, video and power, with a clear quote.
- 3
Preparation
Every item is tested and prepped in our Thornbury warehouse before it leaves. Nothing arrives straight off another job.
- 4
Installation
Our crew builds to the plan, on schedule, including overnight or short-window builds where the venue needs it.
- 5
Event support
Engineers stay on site to run the show: mixing, lighting operation, playback and whatever the day throws up.
- 6
Breakdown
A tidy, quick de-rig so the venue is handed back on time.
Experience you can check.
