  • We have moved

    19/10/15

    We’re delighted to let you all know that we have completed our relocation to our new purpose-designed headquarters in Castle Donington - a move which will signal benefits for our customers, suppliers and staff.

    Our new address is below:

    On Event Production Co.
    Unit 16, Willow Road,
    Trent Lane Industrial Estate,
    Castle Donington, Derby,
    England. DE74 2NP

    Our phone number remains the same:

    0115 922 2959

    Our new facility is strategically located close to the region’s major road networks, including the M1 and A50.

    The 15,000 ft sq. of floor space, double our previous accommodation, has enabled us to further develop our in-house fabrication department and dedicated roadshow division, which will ensure that our finishes are to the highest standards.

    We have moved over 40 tonnes of equipment, over 600 flight cases and drunk a whole load of coffee & tea whilst still delivering a full schedule of events over the past 4 days.

    This latest phase of our expansion programme has been made possible thanks to a funding award from the Derby Enterprise Growth Fund (DEGF).

    We have invested £340,000 in a range of new kit, including the latest Clay Paky Mythos advanced hybrid lighting units, along with a large stock of Chauvet Rogue R2 wash lights, LED battery and batten uplighters and a range of generic lighting fixtures.

    We have also made a significant investment in video and audio equipment, including Samsung 95” LED panel displays and Panasonic PT-EZ580 HD projectors, Analog Way Pulse 2, L’Acoustics 8XT’s, Yamaha QL1 and Yamaha QL5 Digital Audio Desks.

    Commenting on the move, Guy Eaton, managing director of On, said:

    “Moving to a larger, purpose-built facility means that we are now able to offer even more of what our clients want.

    “The recent funding from DEGF has also enabled us to create eight new posts across all levels of the business, which will enable us to cope with the increased demand from our extensive client base, which includes agencies and end-users.

    "It’s great to finally be here and we’re all looking forward to getting cracking in our fabulous new working environment.”

    We look forward to welcoming you in our new home

  • Rogue R2 LED Wash now available to hire

    10/08/15

    The Chauvet Rogue R2 LED Wash moving heads are now available for hire from On Event Production Co.

    Here at On we are constantly seeking to update our fleet of rental equipment, to ensure we offer our clients the highest levels of service and are currently investing £340,000 in the latest technical equipment. As part of our current investment we have added 28 Chauvet Rogue R2 LED Wash lights to our fleet of moving lights.

    Commenting on this recent investment in the Rogue R2 Wash, hire manager, James Pemblington commented:

    "We spent a lot of time thinking about what fixtures will work with our current events schedule as well as being flexible to adapt to the next project.

    James added:

    "The Rogue R2 LED Wash stood out as the fixture for us; Its output is incredible and the pixel control makes the Rogue R2 Wash ideal for eye candy on stage and the zoom ranges enables just a few units to cover a huge area. The Rogue R2 LED Wash units are packed full of features and have a tiny footprint. They’re also lightweight which means our crew are happy and trucking costs are lowered too."

    Since these new units landed at On back in July, they've been busy out on hire and their very first outing was on the main stage at this year's Splendour Festival in Nottingham where 'The Specials' headlined. 

    The new Rogue R2 Wash lights will likely be used across a wide range of events by On Event Production Co. as operations director, Paul White, explains:

    "They are small, lightweight and so versatile that I can see these being used on a huge range of shows from small corporate shows as some eye candy, festivals when you need some punchy colours and award shows when you require the room to burst into life for each sting then move back to washing the whole stage."
