Things go wrong on show day: a distro fails, the venue's power isn't where you were told, a cable goes missing or a speaker dies. Call us on 0115 939 2151 and tell us what you need. If it's in stock, we'll have it tested and ready to collect from our Long Eaton warehouse the same day, or we'll deliver it to your site.
We're a few minutes from junction 25 of the M1, between Nottingham and Derby, so we're quick to reach from across the East Midlands. We're open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, and can arrange out-of-hours collection or delivery when you need it.
For dry hire you'll need photo ID, and the invoice is paid in full before the kit leaves the warehouse or is dropped off on site. Browse the full equipment list to see what we carry.
