UK / Ireland - Rigging and lifting specialist PCM, based in Prenton, Wirral, kicked off 2003 by announcing that Dublin-based Stage Lighting Centre has been appointed sole agents for all PCM equipment for the Irish Republic.

All service, back-up, spares and orders for PCM equipment in Ireland will now be processed by Stage Lighting Centre under the contract, which was finalised during a recent PCM Lodestar Motor School in Dublin. The Stage Lighting Centre was founded in 1987 by Pat Walsh and Pat Farrell. The company is one of the most respected sales, hire and installation operations in Ireland, and works in all areas of the professional entertainment industry. PCM and the Stage Lighting Centre have steadily engaged in more business in recent years, particularly in the last 12 months, so the distribution deal was a logical progression.

Pat Walsh comments: "We've used PCM and its products over the years, and have been impressed with their quality and reliability. The range is ideal for the diverse nature of our work." PCM's Tony Griffiths adds: "We're delighted to be working alongside Stage Lighting Centre. They are proactive, experienced and well known in Ireland for offering top quality service and products, and for paying meticulous attention to detail." The move is part of a broader one by PCM to expand its distributor network across Europe.
