Professional event equipment hire, backed by experienced crew who understand live events. We supply sound, lighting, staging, rigging, power, and video equipment for festivals, live events, corporate functions, and private productions across the UK.
South Coast Hire Group is an independent event equipment hire and production company supplying professional sound, lighting, staging, rigging, power, and video solutions. We support a wide range of events, from small private functions to large-scale festivals, touring productions, corporate events, and community shows.
Our team is made up of experienced event professionals who understand the practical demands of live productions. From planning and preparation through to delivery on site, our crew work closely with clients to ensure equipment is supplied, deployed, and operated safely and efficiently.
With a continually growing inventory and a detail-focused approach, we provide reliable equipment that event organisers and production teams can depend on. Based on the South Coast, we work with clients across the UK, offering flexible hire options, clear communication, and solutions tailored to each event’s technical requirements.
South Coast Hire Group is built around careful planning and people who understand how live events run on site. We design practical systems to suit each event’s layout, schedule, and technical demands, then stay involved to ensure everything is delivered as planned.
Our workflow is built around technical preparation, risk reduction, and disciplined execution. Each stage is designed to ensure systems are safe, stable, and fit for live operation in demanding event environments.
We carry out a full technical advance, reviewing site drawings, access constraints, ground conditions, schedules, and operational requirements. Power demand is calculated, distribution architecture defined, and equipment specified with appropriate headroom. Cable routes, staging footprints, and system layouts are planned to integrate cleanly with other suppliers and overall site operations.
Equipment is delivered in line with site access windows and build phases. Our crew install generators, distribution, cabling, staging, audio, lighting, and video systems using safe working practices and established build standards. Systems are clearly labelled, tested, and commissioned prior to use, with critical and non-critical circuits managed appropriately.
During rehearsals and live operation, systems are actively monitored and managed. Our crew handle load changes, schedule adjustments, and fault resolution methodically, maintaining system stability while coordinating closely with production, stage, and site teams.
At the conclusion of the event, systems are powered down in a controlled sequence, dismantled safely, and removed efficiently. Pack-down is planned to meet site deadlines and handover requirements, leaving the venue or site clear, compliant, and ready for sign-off.
