This recent investment in plant and equipment includes a substantial amount of stage decking system which introduces a totally new staging service the Arena Group can offer clients. The new stock includes ancillary items such as steps, handrails and stair cases, including many bespoke items that are useful for the events industry and media sectors, says Arena.
Martin Clark has been appointed commercial director of Arena Scaffolding, coinciding with this expansion. Clark has been delivering staging and scaffolding projects to various events over recent years within his role at the Arena Group, such as the London Marathon and televised music shows such as X Factor and The Music Hall of Fame.
The Arena Group underwent a management buy-out in February 2007, and this is the first significant investment since then, as managing director Grahame Muir explained: "Since the management buy-out, we have received much positive feedback from clients in all sectors, and this investment underlines the commitment of the new management team to expand the services we can offer clients in areas we already operate in."
