Utopium Rigging will be headed by director Ian Evans along with a team of event riggers with over 20 years' experience. Utopium's extended rigging services will offer venue managers, promoters and event organisers with qualified professionals, the latest rigging equipment and knowledge to construct anything from simple 3m flown truss to full bespoke ground support structures.
Ian Evans commented, "We have launched Utopium Rigging in response to increasing requests from clients for specialist services. Safety is paramount in every aspect in our work; we make sure each member of the team is fully trained to work at heights and complete work to the highest industry standards.
"In addition to event and venue rigging services, our speciality lies in ground support structures and with our expert ability to calculate and engineer we are adept at creating any bespoke solution using the most cost effective and affordable equipment. We offer flexibility from full production service to equipment dry hire."
In addition to the launch of Utopium Rigging, the company has also moved to a new premises (Forrest Hills, Old Gloucester Road, Hambrook, Bristol. BS16 1RR.
