Solotech has announced the opening of a new UK headquarters located in Birmingham that will serve as a hub for audio, video and lighting rental stock and corporate offices as well as a central location for its sales and systems integration activities.
The install process is underway and operations will begin in the upcoming months, while other Solotech locations in the UK continue to operate to serve client needs. The company states that it chose this location because it is a net zero carbon building. Construction has been completed with a BREEAM Excellent accreditation and an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) target rating of Band A. A solar array on the roof is designed to reduce power consumption.
“This new facility gives us an operational advantage by providing efficient workflows that help us deliver the high-quality projects that our customers have come to expect,” says John Probyn, head of business development in Europe for the Live Productions Division, Solotech. “This great workplace also ensures our staff have modern facilities with the highest health, safety and welfare standards.”
Solotech UK managing director Bryce Jewell adds, “We’re delighted to have cut the ribbon on our new UK headquarters with our team this week. We have seen unprecedented growth in recent years, and this gives us the space and environment to keep us on that trajectory. Our team is very inspired for what’s ahead with our partners and clients.
“The impressive facilities will allow us to provide an environment that will make us an employer of choice for our staff–our most precious resource, and to give our employees access to exceptional production standards and capabilities within Solotech to serve our clients.”
