UK - In the wake of the merger recently announced between UK structural aluminium specialists Litestructures, and Dutch trussing, staging and lifting company Prolyte, it was confirmed at PLASA 2010 that the branch of Litestructures formerly known as Litestructures Live has been launched as a new, independent company called LS-LIVE.

LS-LIVE is now a facility that unifies three previously distinct areas of operation, namely hire, stage & set, and the studio, which is Europe's largest purpose-built arena rehearsal facility.

LS-LIVE has its own experienced management team to handle and coordinate every facet of live events from equipment hire to project management and support to stage and set design and much more besides, says the company.

"I'm very excited about heading up LS-LIVE and taking on the challenge of moving the business from being a division of another company to being a completely independent business with our own business plan, our own resources and our own management team," said Ben Brooks, general manager of LS-LIVE.

"Naturally, having been part of Litestructures and benefited from their infrastructure for so long has given us an exceptionally strong grounding in what we do - none of us are novices, and what we have created to date already sets us apart from the competition in so many ways.

"By consolidating all of this under one roof as LS-LIVE will make us even stronger and our processes more efficient," continued Brooks. "With a great team behind me, I'm confident that we can achieve even greater results than before."
