UK - In its ninth year, the V Festival has become one of the UK's leading live music events. Since its inception, Edwin Shirley Staging has continued to assist in its success. This year, ESS chose to use Universal Aerial Platforms for its powered access requirements. "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," says Vicki Wiseman, buyer at ESS.

She continued: "With Universal's good previous track record with us, combined with their competitive prices, large fleet and in-house logistics, we were confident of a first-rate service."

The Genie 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 for the job, say ESS, who selected the plant from the CD-ROM catalogue which Universal provided.
