As New Year announcements in the events industry go, one that will certainly shake things up in the UK and Europe is Protec’s latest statement. Having established itself as a global powerhouse in staging and event technology services, the Dubai headquartered company is now strengthening its presence in the UK with its acquisition of Birmingham based Aventeq Ltd.
With this agreement, Aventeq – which takes on Protec’s brand identity will now be known as PROTEC EUROPEAN EVENTS and will have access to a much larger palette of event production resources, including state of the art technology, equipment & highly skilled staff. It will be in a stronger position to extend its services to a larger client base and offer a more comprehensive and creative approach to its technical productions. The joining of these two companies delivers on Protec’s vision of inspiring the entire events industry with extraordinary and impactful experiences through its technical expertise and deliveries.
Established in 2008 by an industry experienced team led by Chris Bramwell, Aventeq has prided itself in delivering quality projects all across the UK and Europe. The company which offers a comprehensive suite of services, including creative
& technical design, production, lighting, audio, video, staging, rigging and venue support services has been known for its slick productions for events of a variety of categories and sizes.
Commenting on this announcement, Stephen Lakin, Protec’s Founder and CEO said, “I have a lot of time for Chris Bramwell & the team. They have built up a strong business and I’m thrilled to welcome them into the Protec family. I am looking forward to the opportunity to introduce their customers to a wider global reach and more exciting tools & technology to create unique and memorable event experiences.”
Bramwell will continue to lead the company to execute on their growth plans but with the backing of the vast resources of Protec. “Aventeq, which of course I’m thrilled to say, is now PROTEC EUROPEAN EVENTS, has a similar passion to Protec. We focus on delivering fantastic experiences for our clients and audiences,” commented Bramwell. “We are very excited to be a part of one of the world’s most respected industry leaders and now be able to offer our clients a more creative and technological palette with a wider market reach.”
