What do you need to know from an organiser in order to provide a comprehensive quote?

For us to provide a comprehensive quote, ideally we need to know the dates the equipment is required from and to, a brief explanation of the event, the rough amount of power required i.e. catering equipment, DJ or band, lighting, toilets etc, the expected run time of the equipment, a good description of location and access

What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

I would ask the provider questions regarding the reliability of equipment, what happens if it goes wrong? How much experience or evidence of previous experience does the provider have? Is all the equipment tested and certified to current standards? Is the person who'll be setting the equipment up qualified to do so? It is very important that you hire from a trustworthy, reliable, qualified source, with experience and a good backup plan if the worst happens and there is a breakdown. You wouldn't let an un-qualified electrician in your house to do your electrics.

Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.

I have been involved within the events industry for a number of years doing temporary electrical installations, PA and lighting. I have always had a passion for electrical installation, electronics and temporary electrics. Recently we had a few events where the hired in equipment was inadequate, faulty or not up to standard. I already run a successful electrical installation company so decided to invest in generators and equipment. My business model has always been to provide the best, simplest service possible and to put the client's minds at ease. I fully understand how stressful organising events can be and I make the power side as stress-free as possible.

Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend us to others?

I have had a number of bookings through this platform, so far all have run smoothly. I think the platform works well and is a good way of letting people know what you do. All events from this platform have run smoothly so would struggle to pick out one event, the clients we've had have all been happy with the service they have received.
