The company, headed by Richard Colegate and Chris Caton, has been providing rental and turnkey production solutions since 1996 and specialises in the high end corporate events market - including conferences and awards shows - the company also provides technical support for a lively mix of live performance events including dance shows, rock 'n' roll and outdoor classical concerts.
CPS is currently expanding steadily and the decision to purchase new moving lights followed careful assessment of all the options as part of a planned upgrade and replacement programme with their existing intelligent lighting stock.
It's CPS's first purchase of Robe products, which were delivered by Robe UK in a deal co-ordinated by Robe UK's Ian W Brown
The kit purchased includes Pointes, Robin 600E Spots, LEDWash 600s, LEDWash 300s and weather proof outdoor domes.
"We looked at four major moving light manufacturers," explains Colegate. "However once Ian had completed the demo for Robe, it was a no brainer, both in terms of the creativity that Robe fixtures can bring to our equation and also for the ROI."
The new fixtures have already been busy on a wide range of CPS shows including an event for BNP Paribas in Brussels, a major outdoor proms concert by the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, the launch of the new event space on Bournemouth Seafront, the UK National Cheerleading competition and several music festivals.
