Scorpion Production Group

What Scorpion Production Group does

Scorpion Production Group Ltd is a privately held UK event production company founded circa 2004 and headquartered in Burton upon Trent. The group operates through four wholly owned operating divisions — Scorpion Event Solutions (full technical event production), Scorpion Site & Power Services (temporary power generation and distribution, including BS7909:2011-compliant installations and Stage 5-compliant generator banks up to 450kVA), Scorpion AV (audio-visual installations), and Scorpion Media & Design (bespoke exhibition stand design and fabrication) — together delivering end-to-end event technical production under one roof.

The company's core offering is full-service event production spanning power generation and distribution, professional line-array audio systems (28,000W class), intelligent DMX-controlled lighting, modular staging, structural truss (150m+ deployments), LED display panels (300+ outdoor-rated units), temporary CCTV surveillance, and custom networking racks, complemented by bespoke exhibition stand design and build. The technical capability rests on an in-house engineering team that owns and operates the equipment fleet, with on-site technical delivery as the default service model. Notable project credentials include rigging and power infrastructure for a Max Cooper performance at the Royal Albert Hall, large-scale stands at InstallerSHOW and Cake International (NEC Birmingham), and community events such as Ashby Pride and the Burton Christmas Lights Switch-On.

Commercially, Scorpion generates revenue through four streams: project-based event production services, equipment hire (dry hire, including via a self-service online hire platform launched April 2025), bespoke exhibition stand design and build, and value-add carbon-offset / sustainability services delivered through a TreeApp partnership. Pricing is bespoke and quoted per project with no published tiers. The go-to-market is primarily relationship-driven direct sales into UK Midlands schools, councils, corporates, and event organisers, supplemented by an event-driven channel (production of high-profile trade shows), an online hire channel for SMB/individual customers, and word-of-mouth referrals from a long-tenured client base. The firm is family-owned (Edd Stanton and Gillian Stanton as Directors), has 6 employees, and reports no external funding.
