Press Red Rentals, the event and exhibition AV specialists, has added lighting installation to the list of services it offers, with its first deployment at Hotel, Restaurant & Catering, 20-22 March 2022, ExCeL London, for client Interlink Design and Display on two stands.
Tim Manton, managing director, Interlink, explained why he chose Press Red for the first time, saying, “After the pandemic, we discovered we needed a new supplier for lighting installations. While we normally do everything in-house, we usually contracted lighting installation out to one of the larger exhibition companies, but Press Red stood out with its track record, transparency and no-nonsense approach. The Press Red team was the model of speed and efficiency, which was vital to getting the stands built-in time as we can't work on the stand until the lights are in and the gantry is raised. The team installed over 50 100w LED lighting units onto the gantries, and everything worked faultlessly."
"We couldn't be happier with the service," Stanton concluded, "Here at Interlink we intend to use Press Red for all our lighting installations from now on. Outstanding!"
Derek Tallent, managing director, Press Red Rentals, said, "This was our first time installing a complete lighting set-up. It's not a service we've offered before, and I'm now more convinced than ever that we've got everything it takes to successfully deliver installations on this scale and meet the growing demand for lighting services."

Specialist event insurance company InEvexco has stepped forward to support ESSA members with a flexible approach to insurance that is tailored to the events industry, now that there is a clearer path out of lockdown and into the future.
“We are in unprecedented times where normal business isn’t really normal, and where everything will have to adapt,” explains InEvexco managing director, Mark Clayton. “And that also includes insurance policies for businesses operating in the event industry.”
InEvexco is rolling out a programme of flexible insurance policies that correlate more directly with the business on the books, it takes into account the volume of work in hand and how that will increase as the industry unlocks.
“Matching insurance policies to the risk at that moment is critical if we are to see the industry get back on its feet and kickstart the economy. Being underinsured is arguably more damaging than being overinsured so we are launching a programme of flexibility where we will work with our clients and the insurer to match policy and premium to trade, risk and exposure. We don’t want our clients to sacrifice important cover to achieve a false saving so we will aid customers to hold relevant insurance with an appreciation of the sectors likely exit of these dark times. They will not be paying for cover that they will not need at the moment but we will also work with them to make sure that as business returns they remain covered for the increase in exposure,” added Clayton.
Luke Facey, managing director of Alfa Display Limited applauded the initiative, “We’ve had such a period of uncertainty over the last year and a half, having to reduce business costs and adapt to jobs being postponed or cancelled at a moment’s notice. Now that we are starting to grow back again, it’s been critical to have the support of an insurance broker that understands our industry, and enables flexibility in our insurance.
