Presteigne Broadcast Hire Continues Expansion
Presteigne Broadcast Hire, a leading dry hire and complete multi-location production solution provider, has made another significant investment in hire stock and taken on additional space to support its continued growth.
The company has invested £2.4 million to expand its offerings, which now include 33 Canon CJ12 lenses, 64 new HD/4K Sony Z450 camcorders, Leader test kit, 34 Vinten tripods, new Cartoni tripods, and new lighting options.
Presteigne has also added Simply Live's all-in-one 'ViBox' production solution to its inventory, which enables multi-camera live sports production with video and audio mixing, replays, highlights, and graphics.
The company has expanded its physical footprint by nearly doubling its warehouse, service, and operations space to meet growing demand from broadcasters and production companies.
Presteigne's Investment in Technology
Presteigne CEO Mike Ransome emphasized the importance of investing in technology that meets the needs of customers. 'We continually forecast the market and evaluate new technologies,' he said. 'If we identify technologies that have the functionality and reliability our customers need, we invest.' The company's latest investment includes a designated, soundproof audio room for design, testing, and maintenance.
Ransome added that Presteigne is well-positioned to support major global sporting events throughout 2018, with its additional investment in Sony technology. 'We're fully engaged in a very busy 2018,' he said. 'We saw it coming, which is why we knew we needed much more technology and space.'
