On Event Production

What On Event Production does

On Event Production Co. Ltd. is a UK-headquartered, privately held event production and scenic fabrication company operating from Castle Donington, Derby. It delivers end-to-end live, virtual and hybrid event production for enterprise clients across automotive (Samsung, Polestar, JCB, Stellantis, Toyota), financial services (Aldermore Bank), pharmaceutical and veterinary healthcare (Medivet, Vetoquinol, Cegedim Rx), beverage (Carlsberg Britvic), printing/signage (Resolute DTF), and cosmetics (Olaplex). Production covers staging, lighting, sound, video, rigging, show control and broadcast, with brand-aligned scenic build delivered as an integrated service rather than a separate supplier relationship.

The company's technology stack centres on professional AV hardware — L-Acoustics sound systems, Absen LED video walls, Barco E2 screen management, LiteDeck modular staging — alongside in-house scenic fabrication including a CNC-capable workshop that supports bespoke sets, exhibition stands, props and architectural features such as the JCB 80th anniversary Toy Box installation. A purpose-built virtual event broadcast studio extends delivery into hybrid and streamed formats, while a Trade Hire division supplies dry hire and assisted dry hire of AV equipment to trade customers through a published unit-rate catalogue (daily and weekly rates, damage deposits, and an optional 12% insurance waiver). Revenue is generated primarily through project-based professional services contracts (live production, scenic fabrication, broadcast studio) supplemented by hardware-rental income from Trade Hire. Sales are direct, sales-led and enquiry-driven via website, phone and email, supported by case-study-led content marketing and accreditations including PCI-DSS, ISO 9001, FSQS and PLASA membership that enable engagement with regulated and premium-brand clients.
