PSCo Rental – December Open Week / Technology Showcase (3-7th December 2018)
Overview
PSCo Rental opened the doors of their Reading HQ last week to invite their trade rental partners to come in and see a range of new and exciting display technologies, presented and demonstrated face-to-face by their team of experts.
The event was orchestrated by Tom Allott (PSCo Asset Manager) who saw this as an opportunity, not only to showcase ground-breaking new technologies but also to gather valuable market feedback;
“PSCo has a long history of bringing innovative new display technologies to the trade rental market – but it’s also very important for us to make sure that we listen to our partners about the technologies that their clients are interested in and are talking to them about”
Matthew Young | Key Account & Project Manager at Scion Interactive attended the Wonderland event with a client and commented “It was so useful to be able to show the client in person the products that are available and to have the PSCo experts on hand to answer all the questions our client had”
Tom added: “Over the last few years our focus for rental product has been primarily on LED, but more recently we have invested substantially in Epson laser projection, 4K LCD and interactive products & technologies, with great success at filling in the gaps of products that our partners need”
Amongst the technologies showcased were large-format and LCD products from Samsung, LG, Sony, and Philips – but also on display there were specialist and technical new products including Peerless (Xtreme 55” high-brightness outdoor LCD), xtreMTouch IR touch-enabled LED and Kino-mo’s highly popular HyperVSN 3D LED projection wall.
One thing in particular that PSCo achieved from the event was to learn more about the demand for more specialist and niche products and technologies. This provides invaluable insight and PSCo are now able to further invest in multiple vertical market sectors, in turn making these products far more accessible and available to those small and medium AV hire and production companies who traditionally wouldn’t normally look to buy these themselves.
Stuart Holmes, Director | PSCo stated “We are overwhelmed by the hugely positive response to this new event. Following the success of the events we held in 2018 we now intend to run even more such events next year. 2019 is set to be an exciting year for PSCo with activities that will not only help strengthen our position but also improve support for our staff, suppliers, and customers alike”
