Ok so it's not the most exciting looking thing in the world BUT this beast of a generator powers UP the exciting things 👀

Right now we wish it was powering up an industrial sized fan (why is it so hot 🥵) but Geraldine the Generator* has been out and about around Telford this week supporting events across the local area.

Yes we can help you with big events, but don't forget we can also hire out smaller pieces of equipment too like the generator, stages, PA systems etc...

Get in touch if you're looking for a quote!

* Chris hasn't approved this name but I'm hoping it will catch on...please join me in referencing Geraldine by name 👀

Forever grateful for lovely emails like this 😍

"Sam and I just wanted to say a massive thank you for all your help with the wedding set up. We wish we could have found you sooner, it would have been so much easier."

Festoon lights might not seem like a must-have for your wedding or event... until you see the difference they make.

As the evening sets in, they create a warm, welcoming atmosphere, make outdoor spaces much easier to enjoy, and add that little bit of magic to every photo! Sometimes it's the smallest details that have the biggest impact.

Look, we like birds ordinarily but... We've got major beef with these pigeons.

These photos are from a new maintenance contract we've just started in an area that's been a little bit unloved by people and a bit TOO loved by pigeons.

If you do one thing today... be a kind human and leave a positive review for a small business you've had a good experience with recently!

It only takes a couple of minutes, but it can make a HUGE difference to small or family run businesses.

Reviews help other people feel confident choosing a business, they boost visibility online, and they genuinely mean a lot to the people behind the scenes!

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to leave us a review over the years. We appreciate every single one. 💙

Also - feel free to go and leave us one if you haven't! 😉

Not everyone gets the front row... 👀

That's why repeater screens are such a game changer.

Whether you've got a huge conference, an awards night or a busy exhibition, they make sure everyone can actually see what's going on, even if they're right at the back.

No craning necks, no standing on tiptoes or missing the important bits!

Need repeater screens for your next event? Get in touch and we'll get you sorted.

Heading out on a site visit is one of the most important jobs when we're working at a new venue...

It's not just an opportunity to pick up a 'road-trip Greggs'... We're going to be looking at things like:

💡 Where lighting will have the biggest impact
🔌 Where power is available (and where it definitely isn't!)
🎤 The best positions for speakers and screens
🚚 Access for getting equipment in and out
⚠️ Any potential trip hazards or obstacles
👀 The little things that could become big problems on the day

A couple of hours spent planning can save a lot of faffing later, and means your event runs smoothly from start to finish!

Plus, it's much easier to solve problems BEFORE we've unloaded a van full of kit!

Need support with your next event? We'd love to come and take a look.
