The company that started operations in 1999 with 12 employees increased its staff to 21 when it purchased Varilite Middle East and have steadily grown to a 147 strong team of full time employees across all disciplines today. Their growth has included the largest shows the Middle East has seen (both corporate and rock and roll) as well as thousands of smaller meetings and events. A key factor Lakin claims that has contributed to the company’s success is that it treats every event (whether it is the smallest of small events or a mega-show) with the same dedication and commitment. This approach, he adds, has cemented Protec’s relationships with its clients and has also played its part in the growth of the company as well as the industry in this region.
“In the last 8 months, we have invested again in new technology and strengthened our lighting, video and audio departments with new equipment. We have also recruited 14 new staff – from senior management to technicians to ensure we never fall short of the regional industry’s requirements with both quantity and quality. My continued promise to the industry in the region is that when it comes to designing and delivering staging and technical solutions for any event, we will always have what it takes to create fantastic shows and event environments that audiences would love to inhabit,” concludes Lakin.
