Tech Crew Hires

Putting on an event at Warwick and need some technical support? No problem, just contact us! We can provide a large range of equipment to help make your event a success.

Equipment can be provided on a dry hire basis, where you collect and return the equipment from our cupboard in Warwick Arts Centre, or as a wet hire, where we'll also provide technician(s) to operate and setup the equipment for you. Please note that in all cases, you'll be responsible for transport (such as providing a car for off-campus or far locations) and for the safe storage of any hired equipment.

Whilst we primarily work with other Warwick SU societies, we've also worked with external groups and clients such as independent productions and university departments. Payment is made after the event has taken place, and is typically completed via internal society transfer (or a Warwick SU invoice for external clients).

We're always happy to help out where we can, so even if you're not sure please still get in touch through our Hires Form or by emailing [email protected]. Please contact us as early as possible to ensure equipment and technician availability.

Please note that all hires and shows are subject to our Hires Terms and Conditions.

Equipment

In most cases, we find that it is easiest to first contact Tech Crew and discuss your event so that we can recommend the best equipment for your needs and budget. However, for those who may already know what they need, we have a list of equipment on our wiki (pending availability).

Our previous hires include the following, some of which are displayed on the photo carousel at the bottom of the page. You can find a list of wet hires and the teams that have worked on them below.

In addition to shows, Tech Crew helps with many wet hires throughout the academic year, with a range of different societies and university departments. This page lists an archive of most of the hires we've worked on (please note that hires may not be listed if we've only provided equipment or if the hirer has requested not to be).
