Star Events Group supplies temporary structures, staging and rigging services to the events sector, a market that Beaver 84 had been targeting.
Star Events becomes a subsidiary of Altrad Beaver 84 but will stay based at its own Bedford premises.
Star Events director Roger Barrett said: 鈥淔or some time now we have been aware of the need for substantial investment to ensure our industry leading status. This deal puts us in a position to maintain everything that works so well within the company, coupled with the commercial strength of the Altrad Group.鈥�
Four of Star Events鈥� management retain their shares in the company and get new job titles: Roger Barrett becomes special projects director; Celine Watson-Lamb is operations director; Pete Holdich is head of structures; and Jane Russen is sales & client liaison executive.
Altrad Beaver 84 managing director Steve Tysoe has taken on the role of managing director at Star Events as well. He said: 鈥淭his acquisition forms part of our growth strategy in the events sector, which already uses a number of products that are made by Altrad Group businesses.聽 Star Events鈥� portfolio of ingenuity, expertise and equipment is unsurpassed and I look forward to helping the company realise its considerable contemporary ambition."
