In its ninth year the V Festival has become one of the leading music events in the UK. Since its inception Edwin Shirley Staging (ESS) has continued, with its innovative staging solutions, to assist in this success. ESS chose to use Universal Aerial Platforms for its powered access requirements (pictured here is a Genie S85 aiding the completion of the Chelmsford venue's main stage's side hoardings). "Choosing the right powered access, on time and at the right price is key for achieving our goals since it assists in so many parts of the job right from set up to final snagging work" stated Vicki Wiseman, Buyer at ESS.

"With Universal's good previous track record with us combined with competitive prices, large fleet and in-house logistics we were confident of a first-rate service" continued Vicki. "The S85 with its fly jib and robust construction and ability to scale well above the apex of even the main stage was the ideal plant which we chose from the spec sheet CD ROM Universal had supplied us with." added Vicki.

Strict quality and safety controls are used throughout the site.
