What we power

Built around production schedules

Every event has a fixed start time and no second chance. We plan power around build-up, show days and breakdown, not around a rental counter's opening hours.

Festivals & concerts

Stage, sound, lighting, bars and vendor villages on open ground, with distribution run out to every zone.

Exhibitions & trade shows

Stand power for exhibitors and organisers, scheduled around build-up days, show days and breakdown.

Theatre & hospitality

Kitchens, lighting and guest areas for productions and dining experiences that run night after night.

Corporate & brand events

Launches, activations and hospitality suites where the power has to stay out of sight and never drop.
