Official Launch of Bay Drapes

Cathy and I are pleased to announce the launch of her new brand.

Bay Event Drapery

This brands is targeted to users and installers of drapery to the corporate and concert market.

We have been doing drapes for over four years now and have learnt that this really is an artform that takes experience and some often-unusual techniques.

While we will always be developing techniques, we feel that we have mastered event drapery. Our experience and resources will be able to offer new clients exceptional drape solutions through this new brand.

SXS Buy Out Production Power Ltd

Production Power Buy-out

In October 2008 SXS Events Ltd bought out leading event power provider Production Power Ltd.

SXS Managing Director Johnny Palmer says "SXS has always been quite good on power distro, but the purchase of Production Power's stock makes us one of the larger providers of event power services in the UK."

SXS acquired many kilometres of 63-amp three-phase, 32-amp three-phase, 125-amp three-phase, Powelok, 16amp cable. Over 30 additional distribution boards have now been added to the SXS power stock.

"We look forward to the opportunity of working with Production Power's past clients and are confident that our diversity of services will provide them with a more stream-lined and comprehensive service"

More details on SXS' power distro services can be found on the website www.sxsevents.co.uk
