• Every 10% Counts

  Date: 2010.02.23 | Category: General | Response: 0

  Etherlive have always had a focus on our carbon footprint with several initiatives to minimise it. This year we have signed up to reduce our carbon footprint by 10% through 10:10, a voluntary organisation aimed at reducing both personal and business impact on the environment.

  Working a lot in the outdoor environment we certainly want it to remain as beautiful as it is now!

  10% may be ambitious for a growing company but it is achievable. The methodology of the program means the 10% is relative to your business growth.

  We are continuing to develop our solar options and high efficiency equipment but for the purpose of 10:10 our primary focus is reducing transport and mileage. Some of the things we plan to do include:

  1. Bringing less vehicles to event sites through better planning and transport sharing
  2. Where possible working with partners at event sites to reduce infrastructure, setup and power draw
  3. Ensure that when in a particular area for customer meetings we meet several!

  The 10:10 pack has some great ideas how you can help your business or personal life have less impact on our planet – have a look.

  Ecolite tower reduces hassle of festival communications

  Lights, Connectivity, Action!

  02 February 2010 – Festival directors will be able to reduce the hassle and cost associated with on-site communications, following the launch of the Ecolite-P Plus; a mobile communications tower which combines lighting, connectivity, surveillance, and PA services.

  Traditionally, event organisers have hired in these services as separate units, a time intensive and costly exercise. 

  Tom McInerney, Sales Director with Etherlive, the company bringing Ecolite to the events market, explains, “The Ecolite concept comes from the construction industry – taking temporary light, sound and communications onto exposed and sometimes remote sites. Working with ACE Plant, we’ve adapted the tower to suit the needs of festival communications; combining services that would otherwise have been hired as separate pieces of kit – each needing its own power supply and stand.” 

  The Ecolite-P Plus, developed by Etherlive in partnership with Ace Plant, also includes many features which will help site managers reduce their environmental footprint, alongside advanced CCTV capabilities such as auto number plate recognition.

  The Ecolite unit packs away into a single pallet size, which makes it convenient to transport.  Once in situ, the Ecolite tower can only be moved by a fork-lift truck, which helps to minimise the risk of theft. 

  Alan White, Managing Director at Ace Plant adds, “The beauty of the Ecolite-P Plus is that, once deployed, it can be left to run on-site for up to seven days with its own power generator. This gives festival organisers one less thing to worry about”

  Visitors attending the Event Production Show will be able to take a look at the Ecolite-P Plus by visiting Etherlive on stand 614.

  About Ace Plant
  Ace Plant is the trading style of Adams Cundell Engineers Ltd.

  The company was formed in 1973 by David Adams and Frank Cundell. Initially the company was based at Firs Farm, Old Stratford and in 1974 Ace Plant purchased its first tractor, a 1968 Ford 4000. This original tractor is still owned by us and was recently been restored for display at our 25th anniversary party.

  Since those early days we have expanded our range of services considerably and this policy of continued improvement and expansion necessitated a move in 1981 to new purpose built premises in Cosgrove Road, Old Stratford.
